356 | The Sub Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment regarding an application by Mr J Zimmerman and Mr H Mahdavian for the grant of a premises licence in respect of 103, Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff-on-Sea.
The application was presented by Mr A Murrell (Applicants' Solicitor). The Applicants, Mr J Zimmerman and Mr H Mahdavian were in attendance at the meeting.
The Sub Committee noted that no letters of objection had been received from the Responsible Authorities, although Conditions had been agreed with Essex Police, the Licensing Authority and the Council's Environmental Health Team. These were set out in Appendices 3, 4 and 5 respectively to the report of the Corporate Director of Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment. Two letters of objection had however, been received from three local residents, two of whom, namely Ms Fox and Mrs Hind attended the hearing and gave evidence. Their concerns related to all 4 of the licensing objective but primarily the prevention of public nuisance caused by noise nuisance.
At the hearing the Applicant agreed a further Condition which amended Condition 3 of Appendix 2, preventing the admission of anyone under the age of 18 years to the premises at any time.
The Sub Committee considered all the evidence and submissions that had been made at the meeting and the written documentation that had been presented prior to the hearing. The Sub Committee also had regard to the National Guidelines and the Borough Council's Statement of Licensing Policy and 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, as they related to this application.
