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

 

Mr Kevin Jackaman (Presenting Officer) confirmed the application, advising the Sub-Committee that this was a new premises licence application submitted by Grosvenor West End Properties (Applicant Company).  He advised that the Environmental Health (EH) Services made a representation, however after agreeing conditions with the Applicant, EH had since withdrawn their representation. One local resident representation had also been received, however the resident was unable to attend today’s hearing.  Mr Jackaman advised the Sub-Committee that the Premises were within West End Ward and not located in the Cumulative Impact Area (CIA).

Mr Thomas advised the Sub-Committee that he had spoken with the objector at some length on the telephone, and exchanged e-mail, where an example of a similar A3 premises was used, this premises was also granted planning permission without a refuse condition. Mr Thomas felt that this was because there were standard WCC collection times and for this location it was in the morning between 07:00 hours and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.
