None.

 

 

 

Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):

 

 

Granted, subject to conditions as set out below.

 

The Sub-Committee noted that this is an application for a variation of the premises licence to permit off-sales of alcohol by delivery only between 10:00 and 23:00 hours.  Members considered that the Applicant had proposed or agreed a number of conditions which were likely to ensure that the licensing objectives were promoted.  These included that off-sales would only be supplied with and ancillary to a take away meal and a Challenge 21 or 25 proof of age scheme would be operated for the home deliveries.  As a result of the proposed conditions, Environmental Health had withdrawn their representation prior to the hearing. 

 

Two local residents had submitted representations objecting to the application.  Mr Brown had submitted a written representation prior to the hearing which requested two specific conditions were attached to the licence.  These were that ‘any person engaged to deliver alcoholic beverages and/or food for consumption off the premises shall be required to park and wait on Thayer Street only, and not on Bulstrode Street or the corner of Bulstrode Street and Thayer Street’ and ‘no deliveries of alcoholic beverages and/or takeaway food for consumption off the premises shall be collected from the premises after 22.30’.  Mr Baylis, representing the Applicant, confirmed at the hearing that the two conditions were agreed by his client.  Mr Brown stated that on this basis the two residents’ key concerns were addressed.  The Sub-Committee, in granting the application, attached the two conditions to the licence. This effectively meant that off-sales of alcohol were restricted to 22.30 rather than 23.00. The Sub-Committee also noted that the applicant did not employ delivery staff directly but used an online company that drove to the licensed premises to collect the orders before delivering them to the customer. That significantly reduced the likelihood that drivers would hang around outside the premises and cause a nuisance to local residents.  

 

The Sub-Committee made two changes to conditions.  One of these changes was to replace the Applicant’s proposed condition that 'Sales of alcohol for consumption off the premises shall only be supplied with, and ancillary to take-away meal when delivered to the customers home address by trained delivery drivers' with ‘sales of alcohol for  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
