Summary of Application

 

This is an application for a new premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”).  The former basement space was used as a nightclub but is now to be associated with external space on ground floor in Old Brewer's Yard.

 

The basement area will be conditioned and trade core hours and only used for private pre booked functions or as an event space. The Old Brewer's Yard will operate as an open space bar for the general public.

 

The premises has had the benefit of a nightclub premises licence since 2005 (21/09021/LIPT). The premises was granted a new premises licence at a Licensing Sub-Committee in June 2022 (22/02734/LIPN).

 

Both existing premises licenses are proposed to be surrendered subject to this application being granted.
