Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):
This was an application by Draft House Holding Ltd for a new premises licence to replace an existing premises licence. The application is for essentially the same hours of operation but does not include any regulated entertainment apart from the exhibition of films
Anthony Lyons (Solicitor, representing the Applicant Company) began by giving apologies for absence from James Brown, Retail Operations Director at BrewDog and director of Draft House Holdings Limited, who was away on business and had submitted a witness statement.

Mr Lyons referred Members to James Brown’s witness statement amending the sale and consumption of alcohol to 10:00 to 23:00 Monday to Saturday and 12:00 to 22:00 Sunday, in order to address residents’ ... view the full minutes text for item 1 |
