APPLICATION FOR A PREMISES LICENCE PDF 97 KB Snowdon
Mountain Railway, Llanberis To consider
the above application Minutes: On behalf of the premises: Mr Chris Jones a)
The report and recommendation of the Licensing Department. Submitted – the report of the Licensing Manager giving details of the
application for a premises licence for Snowdown Mountain Railway Attention was drawn to the details of the licensed activities and the
proposed hours in the report. It was noted that 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. Reference was made to the measures recommended by
the applicant to promote the licensing objectives along with the responses
received during the consultation period. It was noted that three letters had been received objecting to the
application due to concerns that the proposed licensed activities would
undermine two of the licensing objectives - ensuring public safety and
preventing public nuisance. In response to the objections, it was highlighted that a mediation meeting had been held on 20
February 2019 so that the objectors could discuss their concerns with the
applicant. Consequently, the applicant agreed to a substantial compromise, by
proposing changes and accepting new conditions on the application. It was reported that the objectors had now accepted the
application and that it was being presented to the Sub-committee in order to
confirm these changes formally. In considering the application, the following procedure was
followed: · Members of the Sub-committee and the applicant were given
the opportunity to ask questions of the Licensing Manager. · The applicant was invited to expand on the
application. · Consultees were
given an opportunity to present their observations · The licensee, or his representative, was invited
to respond to the observations. · Members of the Sub-committee were given an
opportunity to ask questions of the licensee. · Members of the Sub-committee were given an
opportunity to ask questions of the consultees. RESOLVED to approve
the application in accordance with the amended conditions 1. It was agreed to restrict the hours of alcohol sales
at the Trading Post from 09:00 to 18:00. 2.
It was agreed to only sell
'specialist' bottles of beer and spirits at the Trading Post. 3.

No recorded music to be played
from the Trading Post or the Car Park at any time. 5.
Hours of licensed
activities and proposed conditions to remain the same as the original
application for the Llanberis Station Cafe and Gift
Shop. In
reaching their decision, the Sub-committee considered the application form
along with written comments submitted by interested parties, the Licensing
Officer's report, and verbal comments from the applicant's representative at
the hearing. The Council's Licensing Policy and the Home Office guidelines were also considered. All considerations were
weighed up against the licensing objectives under the Licensing Act
2003, namely: i.
Crime and Disorder prevention ii. Public
nuisance prevention iii. Ensuring
public safety iv. Protection
of children from harm Specific consideration was given to the three letters received from nearby ... view the full minutes text for item 4. |
