The Ship Public House, New Road, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex - Application for the Grant of Premises Licence pdf icon PDF 132 KB

Report attached.

Minutes:

The Sub Committee received a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) concerning an application made by EI Group Ltd for the grant of a Premises Licence in respect of The Ship Public House, New Road, Leigh on Sea, Essex SS9 2EA..

 

The Application was presented by Mr Taylor (the Applicant’s Solicitor).  Mr Bushell (Regional Manager), attended on behalf of the Applicants.  At the hearing the applicant agreed for the application to be amended in relation to the extended hours on New Year’s Eve to terminate at 2.00 am on New Year’s Day.

 

The Sub-Committee noted that the application broadly replicated the previous licence which had been surrendered by a previous tenant of the premises.

 

The Sub Committee also noted that no objections were received from any of the Responsible Authorities, although conditions had been agreed with Essex Police and the Environmental Protection Team of the Council should the application be granted.  On this basis those objections had been withdrawn. 

 

Objections had been received from 8 interested parties, one of whom, namely Mr Power, attended the hearing and gave evidence. The objections primarily related to two of the licensing objectives, namely the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance.

 

The Sub-Committee welcomed the Applicant’s assurance to join a recognised local pub watch scheme.

 

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 amended application be granted subject to:

 

(i)  The Mandatory Conditions set out in Appendix 1 to the report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place); and

 

(ii)  The conditions set out in Appendix 2 of the Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place), subject to the following amendment to Condition 12 to now read:

12. Any event that involves live performers or amplified music outside the premises, including the outside areas illustrated on the plans attached to the licence, shall be notified to the Police and Licensing Authority 21 days prior to the event. A full risk assessment shall be completed covering any measures that shall be put in place. Only the most suitable polycarbonate or plastic drinking vessels shall be used for outside events. The Designated Premises Supervisor shall engage with the Police and Local Authority to address concerns such as noise, placement of speakers, times, location of barriers and the use of SIA door Supervisors. If the Police or Licensing Authority identify any potential problems that cannot be resolved by talking then these concerns shall be placed in writing and the event shall be withdrawn.
