APPLICATION TO VARY A PREMISES LICENCE – THE OLD MARKET HALL, PALACE
STREET, CAERNARFON The panel and the
officers were introduced to everyone present. It was announced that everybody
had up to 10 minutes to submit direct observations on the application. On behalf
of the premises: Mr David Williams (applicant) and
Mr Edward Grant (Capita PLC – the applicant's agent) Others in attendance: Corrina Favento, Mandy
Mathews and Cliff Roberts (nearby residents); Moira Duell-Parri (Environmental
Health Officer) The report and
recommendation of the Licensing Department. a) Submitted – the report of the Licensing
Manager providing details of the application to vary a premises licence for The
Old Market Hall, Palace Street, Caernarfon. It was highlighted that the
application form noted that the nature of the establishment had changed since
the business opened in July 2014 and that the premises had held several events
under the Temporary Event Notice procedure. The nature of the proposed
variation was to extend the licensable activities to include all kinds of
regulated entertainment, to extend the hours for the sale of alcohol and to
provide late night refreshments. Reference was made to the table that detailed
the variation. It was noted that the applicant had included the appropriate
steps to promote the four licensing objectives as part of the application. Following a consultation period, it
was noted that the Fire and Rescue Service had no observations on the application.
North Wales Police and the Environmental Health Service did not object to the
application, but they had proposed specific conditions to be imposed on the
licence. It was reported that the Licensing Authority had received confirmation
from the applicant that he accepted these conditions and wished to impose them
on the licence. Three objections to the
application had been received from local residents based on the licensing
objective of Preventing Public Nuisance. One objector had suggested that the
notice of the application had not been displayed in an obvious place, but the
Licensing Authority was satisfied that the notice met the relevant regulations.
One letter of support had also been received from Caernarfon Town Council. In response to a question regarding
the opening times of nearby establishments, the Licensing Manager noted that
the licensing hours of nearby establishments varied, with a range of alcohol
sales until 1am; playing music until 1am and closing hours up to 2am. b) In
