The Licensing Department's Report
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. The live and recorded music would only
take place indoors.
It was noted that
the Licensing Authority Officers had sufficient evidence that the application had been submitted in accordance
with the requirements of
the Licensing Act 2003 and the relevant
regulations.
Attention was drawn to the responses received during the consultation period. It was noted that an objection
to the application had been
made by a neighbouring resident who was concerned about increased noise from the site and that extending the hours would change
the family feel of the park. North Wales Police had submitted observations which recommended conditions around CCTV, the Challenge 25 Policy, and no children to be allowed on the premises after 23:00.
It was noted that the Police had visited the site and the applicant had confirmed via e-mail that all the recommendations by the Police would be included in the new licence's
operating schedule should the Sub-committee approve the application.
