APPLICATION FOR A PREMISES LICENCE PDF 262 KB The Firecat Country House, Camlan Uchaf, Mallwyd, SY20 9EP To consider
the above application Minutes: APPLICATION TO VARY PREMISES LICENCE - FIRECAT COUNTRY HOUSE B&B,
CAMLAN UCHAF, MALLWYD The panel and the officers
were introduced to everyone present. Councillor Annwen Daniels was
congratulated on her appointment as Vice-chair of the Council. Everyone was reminded that the hearing that was held on 21.7.2016 had been postponed so that the Licensing
Sub-Committee could carry out a site
visit following objections to the application on the basis of the public’s safety. It was confirmed that Members of the Sub-Committee had visited the site on 28 July
2016 with the Licensing Officer. On behalf of
the premises: Mr Robin Worgan
(applicant) and Amber Worgan Local Member: Councillor

of Preventing Public Nuisance and the Public Safety. It was noted that the Police did not object to the application and, following a visit to the site, it was noted
that the applicant had agreed to operate the Challenge 25 Policy. The Fire
Service did not object to the application,
but a recommendation had been given in
terms of total numbers which should
be allowed in the public rooms of the building. The Environmental Health Officer had held discussions with the applicant to obtain more details about the application. The Officer’s observations and recommendations were referred to.
