    The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting.

     

    a)             The Licensing Department's Report

     

    Submitted – the report of the Licensing Manager giving details of the application for a premises licence for Bala Rugby Club, Maes Gwyniad, Heol Tegid, Bala. The aim of the application is to be allowed to sell alcohol during matches throughout the rugby season between September and May, with the licence being used mainly over the weekend.

     

    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. Reference was made to the measures recommended by the applicant to promote the licensing objectives, and it was highlighted that these measures would be included on the licence.

     

    Attention was drawn to the responses that had been received during the consultation period which included a number of objections from the public expressing concern that allowing the club to sell alcohol would create antisocial behaviours, disruption, an increase in vandalism and concerns for public safety if they walked home intoxicated near the lake and railway.

     

    A representation had been received from North Wales Police reporting that no incident of crime and disorder associated with the Rugby Club had been reported during temporary event notice periods, and therefore they had no objection. It was added that Bala Town Council supported the application but recommended that the hours be restricted to 13:00 - 21:00.

     

    ⁠It was reported that additional observations supporting the application had been received outside the consultation period. It was noted that there would be a need to obtain legal advice as to whether or not the letters should be taken into consideration.

     

    The Officer recommended that the Sub-committee considered the respondents' observations/concerns received, together with the applicant's response to those observations/concerns. It was highlighted that no complaints had been received by the Licensing Authority or the Public Protection Unit following several permitted events using Temporary Event Notices. Consequently, the Officer recommended that the application be approved with conditions.

     

    b)             In considering the application, the following procedure was followed:

    ·       Members of the Sub-committee to be given an opportunity to ask questions of the Council’s representative.

    ·       At the Chair’s discretion, the applicant or his/her representative to ask questions to the Council’s representative.

    ·       The applicant and/or his/her representative to be invited to expand on the application and to call witnesses.

    ·       Members of the Sub-committee to be given the opportunity to ask questions of the applicant and/or his/her representative.

    ·       At the Chair's discretion, the Council’s representative to ask questions to the applicant or his/her representative.

    ·       Every Consultee to be invited to  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.
