The sub-committee received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) concerning an application for the grant of a premises licence in respect of 1145 London Road, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.

Mr M Hines (applicant’s representative) and Mr R Tenlick (Designated Premises Supervisor) were in attendance.

The sub-committee noted that letters of objection had been received from the Licensing Authority, in its capacity as a responsible authority, Leigh Town Council and Essex Police.  Mr A. Penn (Licensing Authority), Mr D Colewell and Ms K Drain (Essex Police Licensing Unit) and Mrs H Symmons (Leigh Town Council) were in attendance. 

At the hearing the Sub-Committee noted that the objections from the responsible authorities and Leigh Town Council had subsequently been withdrawn following agreement with the applicant to the additional conditions proposed by Essex Police and the Licensing Authority.
