Additional documents: Decision: DECISION NOTICE - LICENSING ACT 2003 SUB-COMMITTEE
VARIATION OF THE PREMISES LICENCE – PETERBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL FOOD CENTRE, 314-316 LINCOLN ROAD, PETERBOROUGH, PE1 2ND
13 DECEMBER 2013
This Decision Notice refers to the variation of the premises licence for the premises known as Peterborough International Food Centre, 314-316 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 2ND.
We have considered the representations made today before us and those in writing. These representations were concerned with the licensing objectives of:
The premises lies within an area designated under a special policy therefore there is a rebuttable presumption not to grant the variation. To be successful, the applicant would need to demonstrate that they had sufficiently addressed the issues within the designated area detailed in the policy, in their operating schedule.
We have been addressed on such issues as an increase in noise and waste pollution and public health associated with alcohol misuse.
We have considered the options available to us, which are:
We noted that the applicant was willing to reduce the hours of opening for the days in question and reduce the two hour increase, as applied for, by one hour.
We have been referred to our own licensing policy incorporating the special policy and the government guidance at paragraphs 13.29 and 13.35.
In introducing a special policy the licensing authority recognises that the designated area is saturated with such premises.
We do not believe that the operating schedule has addressed the issues within the special policy sufficiently enough to rebut the presumption not to grant, even with the proposed conditions and reduced hours of opening.
Our decision is therefore to refuse this application to vary the premises licence, at the premises known as Peterborough International Food Centre, 314-316 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 2ND.
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.
