Ward: Spitalfields & Banglatown Additional documents: Minutes: The Licensing Objectives
In considering the application, Members were required to consider the same in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003 (as amended), the Licensing Objectives, the Home Office Guidance and the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy and in particular to have regard to the promotion of the four licencing objectives:
· The Prevention of Crime and Disorder; · Public Safety; · The Prevention of Public Nuisance; and · The Protection of Children from Harm. Consideration
Each application must be considered on its own merits. The Chair confirmed that the Sub-Committee had carefully considered all of the evidence before them and was informed by the Licensing Officer that all the representations which were submitted before the Sub-Committee were withdrawn. However as the representations were withdrawn less than twenty four hours before the meeting, it was necessary for the Sub-Committee to hear the oral conditions at the meeting in person from the Applicant, and the written representations which were submitted in the agenda pack by the Local Authority and Environmental Protection.
The Sub-Committee noted that the Applicant and the responsible authorities had agreed a number of conditions, comprising those put forward by the Applicant and those put forward by the responsible authorities. Although the premises lie in a Cumulative Impact Zone, the Sub-Committee were satisfied that the agreed conditions were sufficient to ensure that there would be no addition to the cumulative impact in the area, and that the application could be granted with the agreed conditions. The Sub-Committee felt that insofar as there was an overlap between the wording of conditions put forward by the Applicant and those put forward by the responsible authorities, the wording of the latter would be preferred to the wording if the former for the purposes of consistency and ease of enforcement.
