a)
The Licensing Department's Report
Submitted – the report of
the Licensing Manager giving details of the application for a premises licence
for a light refreshment café / bar with seating areas inside and outside the
property.
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 that had been
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 response that had been
received during the consultation period. It was noted that Snowdonia National
Park Authority objected to the application because it was contrary to the
rights of planning application number NP5-61-T2E-DN but if the applicant were
to amend the hours to comply with the conditions of the application, it would
be acceptable.
It was recommended that the Committee should approve
the application in accordance with the observations of Snowdonia National Park
Authority and the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003 and the following
reasons in particular:

Disappointment was
noted that the Harlech Community Council had not submitted their opinion and that
including photos of the property and/or photos of the square / street would
have been beneficial.
In response to a
question regarding the recommendation of the Licensing Unit, it was confirmed
that it recommended approving the application in accordance with the
observations of the Snowdonia National Park Authority, and not the observations
of Public Protection, as noted in the report.
Elaborating on the application, the applicant noted:
·
That she had a small, light
enterprise in mind
·
She would not venture with
anything bigger as it was difficult to recruit staff
·
Happy to amend the opening
hours to coincide with the planning application
