266The Committee received a report of the Director of Technical & Environmental Services concerning an application by the owners of 'The Oakwood' for the variation of the existing Occasional Public Entertainment Licence, so as to allow more frequent events and a larger customer capacity. Mr and Mrs Tarling, the Licencees, together with Mr MacFarlane, Area Manager and Mr Somarakis, their legal representative, were in attendance at the meeting. Mr Parry spoke as an objector to the application. Copies of letters that had been received subsequent to the consultation period were circulated at the meeting. A visit to view the site to which the application referred was undertaken prior to the meeting.

The Committee was informed that, whilst an increase in the customer capacity to 300 persons had originally been requested, the maximum occupancy figure now being sought had reduced to 200 persons.
267The Committee considered a schedule of provisional dates for future meetings for the remainder of the Municipal Year, a copy of which was circulated at the meeting. The Committee was informed that the meetings from January 2004 would however, be liable to change in view of the increased demand for Licensing decisions under the new legislation. Additionally, prior to January 2004, a newly constituted Licensing Committee of between 10 and 15 Members would need to be constituted under the new Licensing Act, possibly in combination with one or more Sub-Committees.
