8 Queens Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS1 1LU - Application for the Grant of Premises Licence pdf icon PDF 717 KB

Minutes:

The Sub Committee received a report by the Corporate Director for Place regarding an application by Revolution Bars Ltd for the grant of a premises licence in respect of 8 Queens Road, Southend on Sea, Essex  SS1 1LU.

 

The application was presented by Mr Lyons, the Applicant’s legal representative.  Mr Russell, Director of Property, also attended on behalf of the Applicants.  In support of their application the Applicants also provided a witness statement and presentation from Mr Russell, specimen menus and the Members of the Sub Committee were able to peruse the Applicant’s staff training document.  A large scale plan of the proposed redevelopment of the premises was presented and displayed at the meeting.

 

The Sub Committee noted that whilst three of the Responsible Authorities namely Essex Police, the Licensing Authority and the Environmental Protection Team, had initially objected to the application, conditions had been agreed between these parties should the application be granted which addressed their concerns.  Accordingly, those initial objections had been withdrawn on this basis. 

 

Objections had however, been received from 4 other interested parties, namely three local residents and one local landlord.  One of the objections from one of the local residents had been subsequently withdrawn prior to the hearing.  None of the objectors attended the hearing.

 

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.

 

On the basis of the evidence presented to them, the Sub-Committee considered that the licensing objectives and the residents’ concerns would be adequately addressed by the conditions imposed on the licence.  The Sub Committee therefore:

 

Resolved:

 

That the application be granted subject to:

 

(i)           The mandatory conditions set out in Appendix 1 to the report of the Corporate Director for Place;

(ii)         The conditions agreed between the applicant and the Licensing Authority, Environmental Protection Team (acting as Responsible Authorities), and Essex Police as set out in Appendix 3 to the report of the Corporate Director for Place; and

(iii)        The Policies set out in Appendix 4 to the report of the Corporate Director for Place.
