Minutes:

The Chair confirmed that the Sub-Committee had read and considered the additional information as set out in the supplementary agenda pack that had been circulated, following the publication of the agenda pack on Monday 13 December 2021.

 

The Chair introduced all the parties present at the meeting and summarised the Licensing hearing procedure which had been circulated as part of the agenda pack. All parties confirmed that they had received a copy of the hearing procedure.

 

The Licensing Manager presented the report which outlined the details of the application for the determination of a full variation to the existing premises licence for The Comus Inn, Selby Road, Camblesforth, YO8 8HR.  The hearing had been necessitated by representations which had been received from 67 members of the public, 29 of whom had requested to remain anonymous. 

 

It was noted that six representations in support of the application had also been received. 

 

The Sub-Committee heard that the application was to extend the licensable hours at the designated premises, between the times as detailed within the report, and clarification was given that the licensable area of the premises had not changed from the existing licence.

 

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.

 

Members noted 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 proposed conditions of any granted licence.

 

It was further noted that additional amendments to the proposed conditions had been made to the operating schedule in terms of an amendment to condition 14 under the prevention of crime and disorder to be amended to 22:00 hours to correspond with condition 10, under the prevention of public nuisance relating to the use of external areas; and conditions 7 & 9 under the prevention of public nuisance were duplicates and would be removed and replaced with condition 2 under annex 3 of the current premises licence.

 

The Sub-Committee was informed that of the 67 people who had made representations objecting to the application, these had predominantly been based on the grounds of the prevention of public nuisance objective.

 

Member’s attention was drawn to the supplementary agenda that had been circulated and the photographs contained therein.

 

The Sub-Committee listened to evidence on behalf of the applicant, Campey Estates Limited, from Mr Ian Campey and Miss Jade Campey and evidence in support of the relevant representations from five members of the public.
