Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”).

 

The Premises proposes to operate as a luxury coffee shop, selling coffees, teas, soft drinks, hot chocolate, pastries and snacks. The Premises is located within West End and is not located within the West End Cumulative Area Zone.

 

The application has since been amended following consultation with Environmental Health Services in that the terminal hour for the sale of alcohol will now cease at 21:00 hours.

 

The Special Consideration Zone applies.

 

There is a resident count of 35.

Summary of Objections

 

The Environmental Health Services state:

The Residents States:
