Submitted – the report of the Licensing Manager giving details of an application for a premises licence variation by New Horizons company, in relation to extending the hours of the Sale of Alcohol, and hours of Live and Recorded Music. It was highlighted that the existing licence permitted Licensable Activities until 11pm Saturday and Sunday, and that the applicant proposed revised conditions to extend from 11pm to 2am.
