Summary of New Premises Licence Application

The application had been submitted to the Licensing Authority on 15 June 2012 and had been forwarded to the required Responsible Authorities by the Licensing Department in accordance with the regulations and Section 8.24 of Guidance.

Representations had been received from Cambridgeshire Constabulary and Peterborough City Council Licensing Authority in their capacity as Responsible Authorities. A period of mediation had taken place which had resulted in the withdrawal of the representation made by Peterborough City Council Licensing Authority, this being in response to the Applicant agreeing to a number of additional mediated conditions. However, the Applicant had not agreed to a reduction in hours during which they wished to sell alcohol, as per the representation received from Cambridgeshire Constabulary. This was therefore the only issue for determination by the Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee.

A summary of the issues raised by Cambridgeshire Constabulary included:

• The premises was located centrally within the Operation CAN-do area; and
• Granting the licence would contribute to an increase in anti-social behaviour and violent behaviour in the area.

There had been no further representations made by any of the remaining Responsible Authorities and furthermore, there had been no representations received from any Other Persons.

The Applicant’s proposed conditions, including mediated conditions, under the four licensing objectives, these being ‘The Prevention of Public Nuisance’, ‘Public Safety’, ‘The Prevention of Crime and Disorder’ and ‘The Protection of Children from Harm’, were detailed within the application form and further outlined within the Sub-Committee report. In accordance with Section 10.9 and 10.11 of the Guidance, these conditions had been interpreted into enforceable conditions and only those appropriate and proportionate for the promotion of the Licensing Objectives had been included within the Operating Schedule.
