Variation Application for Premises Licence - DPS Variation Confidential report of the Head of Legal, HR and Democratic Services detailing an objection by Hampshire Constabulary to a DPS variation application, attached. Minutes: The Sub-Committee considered the objection by Hampshire Constabulary to a DPS variation application.
The applicant, Mr Winterbottom, representing the DPS, PC Wood and PC Harris, Hampshire Constabulary were present and with the consent of the Chair addressed the meeting.
The Sub-Committee considered the decision in confidential session in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005.
RESOLVED that the variation application for a DPS at the premises be granted and that such variation have immediate effect.
REASONS
The Sub-Committee considered very carefully Hampshire Constabulary’s objection to a DPS variation application and gave due regard to the Licensing Act 2003, the Licensing Objectives, statutory guidance, the adopted statement of Licensing Policy, Human Rights legislation and all evidence presented both written and given orally today, including the additional evidence supplied by both parties at the hearing.
The Sub-Committee listened carefully to the evidence regarding the one incident leading to a conditional caution in December 2008. It noted the considerable experience of the proposed DPS gained, both prior to and subsequent to that incident. Whilst the particular circumstances of the incident were of concern, the fact that this was an isolated incident and the actions of the proposed DPS in writing a letter of apology and paying for damage caused, showed his remorse.
It was noted that Section 37 (5) of the Licensing Act 2003 made reference to “Exceptional Circumstances”, leading to the crime prevention objective being undermined. Whilst the Sub-Committee noted the concerns raised, it did not feel that such were sufficiently exceptional to warrant a refusal.
