Application for the Variation of Premises Licence - 71-73 Southchurch Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS1 2NL pdf icon PDF 90 KB

Minutes:

The sub-committee received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) concerning an application by B.U.S. Premier Ltd for the grant of a variation of a premises licence in respect of B.U.S. Premier Ltd, 71-73 Southchurch Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS1 2NL.

 

The application was presented by Ms Sherratt (Applicants representative).  The applicant, Mr Shaiju was also in attendance at the meeting.

 

The sub-committee noted that whilst one of the Responsible Authorities, namely Essex Police, had initially objected to the application conditions had been agreed between the applicant and the Police which addressed their concerns, should the application be granted.  On this basis Essex Police had withdrawn their objections. 

 

Representations had however, been received from 2 local residents but did not attend the hearing.  Their concerns focused on the licensing objectives, namely the prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance and the protection of children from harm.

 

The sub-committee listened to all the evidence and submissions, and read all the documents.  It had regard to the Statutory Guidance Notes and Southend-on-Sea Borough Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy. The sub-committee further 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.

 

On the basis of the evidence presented to it, the Sub-Committee considered that the licensing objectives and the objectors 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 and the conditions consistent with the operating schedule of the current licence;

 

(ii)  The following additional conditions:

 

·         The sale by retail of alcohol for consumption of the premises shall be between 08.00 to 23.00 Monday to Sunday (the opening hours to remain as 06.00 to 23.00);

  • The DPS or authorised member of staff will remove all outside furniture when the premises are not trading.
  • The DPS will not use any outside furniture that could be used as a seat/bench or allow persons to lean on.
  • All reasonable steps will be taken to prevent youths, homeless persons, street drinkers, beggars etc. from hanging around the front of the shop.
