DECISION NOTICE - LICENSING ACT 2003 SUB-COMMITTEE

APPLICATION OF THE PREMISES LICENCE – ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY, GUILD HOUSE, OUNDLE ROAD, PETERBOROUGH

13 APRIL 2015

This Decision Notice refers to the application for the premises licence Anglia Ruskin University, Guild House, Oundle Road, Peterborough.

The Sub-Committee have considered the representations made to us today and in writing from:

• The Applicant, the Designated Premises Supervisor and the Applicant’s Representative;
• Ward Councillor Thulbourn;
• S Riseley and Gareth Evans; and
• 17 Local Residents in the capacity as ‘other persons’.

The Ward Councillor and objectors have raised concerns regarding off site parking; noise emitted from the premises; an increase in drunkenness in the area and associated anti social behaviour.

We sympathise with residents’ concerns about off site car parking but this is outside of this committee’s control, and the applicant states that when there is an organised function, there will be free on site parking for those attending.

In our deliberations we have considered:

-       Our own Statement of Licensing Policy

-       The Government Guidance

-       The operating schedule within the application.

We note that there are no objections from the police.

We consider that the options available to us are:

-       To grant this licence as applied for,

-       To grant with additional conditions, or

-       To reject the application.

The Sub-Committee believes that the revised operating schedule and the additional conditions offered during the mediation process satisfy the licence objectives.

We therefore grant this application for a licence for the premises, known as Anglia Ruskin University, Guild House, Oundle Road, Peterborough, subject to the additional agreed mediated conditions.

Any party in objection to the decision may appeal to the Peterborough Magistrates Court within 21 days of receiving this formal notice at:

Peterborough Court House, Bridge Street, Peterborough, PE1 1ED. Tel No. 0845 3100575. There is a fee to pay.
