Representations Received
Summary of issues raised by objectors
· LA sought further submission regarding the increase of capacity by 25 people in the cumulative impact area, how the supply of alcohol will be controlled and monitored, and noted that the applicant will need to satisfy the concerns of the Licensing Authority by demonstrating that the application will not add to cumulative impact if granted. It will be for Licensing Sub-Committee Members to determine this application, given its location within the West End Cumulative Impact area and the proposed hours of operation. · CGCA objected on the basis that the later operation of the premises is very likely to increase the level of nuisance when it closes at 01:00 there will be harm to the Licensing Objectives.

According to the application, this premises plans to operate as an Adult Gaming Centre (AGC). The application has been made under Section 187 of the Gambling Act 2005 (2005 Act).
