Seven Hotel, 7 Clifton Terrace, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS1 1DS - Application for the Grant of Premises Licence pdf icon PDF 113 KB

Minutes:

The sub-committee received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) concerning an application made by Seven Hotels Ltd for the grant of a Premises Licence in respect of Seven Hotel, 7-9 Clifton Terrace, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS1 1DT.

 

The Application was presented by the applicant’s solicitor, Mr S Thomas.  Mr S Chickte, the Designated Premises Supervisor, was also in attendance.

 

The sub-committee noted that no letters of objection to this application were received from the Responsible Authorities and measures have been agreed between the applicant and Essex Police and the Licensing Authority as set out in Appendix 3 to the report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) should the application be granted.

 

Representations had however, been received from twenty one local residents and one of the Ward Councillors.  Four of those residents, namely Mr Harrison, Mr Kirschner and Mr & Mrs Feakes attended the hearing.  Only Mr Harrison and Mr Kirschner spoke and gave evidence at the hearing.  Councillor J Garston also attended the hearing and gave evidence.  He also spoke on behalf of a number of the other residents who were unable to the hearing. 

 

The residents’ concerns focussed on the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime and disorder and prevention of public nuisance and, in particular, noise nuisance as the premises was located in a residential conservation area.

 

The sub-committee listened to all the evidence and submissions, and read all the documents.  It had regard to the Statutory Guidance Notes and Southend-on-Sea Borough Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy. The sub-committee further considered the four licensing objectives namely the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance and the protection of children from harm.

 

On the basis of the evidence presented to it, the sub-committee considered that the licensing objectives and the objector’s concerns would be adequately addressed by the proposed conditions to be imposed on the licence.  The sub-committee therefore:

 

Resolved:-

 

That the application be granted subject to:
