The application was presented by Mrs Claire Johnson (solicitor for the Applicants). Mrs Kelly Nichols (Licensing Manager) and Mrs Laura Stubbs (Community Liaison Officer observing) were also in attendance.
The Sub Committee noted that no representations had been received from the Responsible Authorities, although letters of objection had been received from 19 residents of whom 5 attended the hearing. Mr Walker attended the hearing and gave evidence. Mr Bye, Mr Chandrakanthan, Mr Vellsamy and Mr Jerasteen also attended the hearing and were represented by Mr West (21st Century Licensing) who spoke on their behalf. A petition signed by a number of local residents opposing the application was also presented. Mr Thompson, who signed the petition, was in attendance and gave evidence.
Their concerns related to all four of the licensing objectives and these included anti-social behaviour and littering.

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.
