Summary of Variation Application

An application had been submitted by Mr Iftikhar Usman to vary the licence for Mini Market, 415 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 2PF.

The application requested the following:

i)                    To increase the hours authorised to sell alcohol from 10.00am until 20.00pm to 08.00am until 02.00am;

ii)                   To remove condition 16 – ‘No alcohol shall be consumed on the premises’;

iii)                 To remove condition 20 – ‘No alcohol shall be consumed on the premises’; and

iv)                To remove condition 18 – ‘No single vessel of beer, lager or cider to be offered for sale’.

Representations against the application had been received from Cambridgeshire Constabulary, the Licensing Authority, Peterborough City Council Planning Department, the Local Health Authority and Peterborough City Council’s Noise Pollution Team in their capacity as Responsible Authorities. The representation from the Noise Pollution Team had subsequently been withdrawn following mediation.

There had been numerous representations received from Other Persons, these being the Millfield and New England Regeneration Partnership (MANERP), the Victoria Park Resident’s Association and the Operation CAN-do Neighbourhood Delivery Team (NDT). These three organisations represented the interests of local residents in the area. A representation had also been received from a local Councillor and 30 local residents who signed to acknowledge the Councillors representation. A further two representations have been received from local residents.

Representations in support of the application had been received from eleven local residents. The applicant’s agent has also produced a ‘supporting documentation’ pack. Contained within this document were a further three letters of support for the application and a petition signed by 109 persons stating that they supported the application.
