The Sub-Committee heard that the application was to permit the sale of alcohol and regulated entertainment, namely, live music and recorded music at the designated premises, on any day of the week, between the times as detailed within the report. Members were asked to note that if permission for the sale of alcohol was to be granted for the hours of the application, live and recorded music would not be a regulated activity under the Licencing Act 2003, under the hours requested.

It was confirmed that a consultation had been carried out by the applicant in accordance with the Act and the Licensing Act 2003 (Premises Licences and Club Premises Certificates) Regulations 2005, which concerned the displaying of a notice on the premises and an advertisement in a local paper, giving details of the application and serving a copy of the application on all responsible authorities.  It was further confirmed that the applicant had complied with all the statutory requirements.

The Licensing Manager informed Members that conditions had been agreed between North Yorkshire Police and the applicant and Environmental Health and the applicant following representations made by the responsible authorities. The necessary amendments had been incorporated into the operating schedule following these representations and formed the conditions of any granted licence.

Members noted that the 24 people who had made representations against the application had all objected on the grounds of the prevention of public nuisance objective.  It was also noted that letters of support for the application had been received and formed part of the supplementary agenda pack.

In response to a Member query regarding where the notice should be displayed, the officer explained that the notice should be displayed on the premises, but where it was visible to the public,without them having to enter the premises.  It was further explained that initially the notice outside the premises was not displayed in the correct place, however this was rectified, and the consultation period was extended.
