All parties will receive written confirmation of the decision and reasons.
The Sub-Committee considered very carefully the application to vary a premises licence in respect of Isis and gave due regard to the Licensing Act 2003, the Licensing Objectives, statutory guidance, the adopted statement of Licensing Policy and in particular the Cumulative Impact Policy.
The Sub Committee considered representations, both written and given orally today, by all parties, including the additional information received. Human rights legislation has been borne in mind whilst making the decision
Legal advice was accepted by the Sub-Committee in relation to the Cumulative Impact Policy. It was noted that the premises is located within the boundary of a previously identified stress area, and is subject to the provisions of the formally adopted Cumulative Impact Policy “CIP” ( adopted 13 May 2009, confirmed upon review 17 November 2010) that applies to that area.
The Committee noted in particular that:-
The Sub-Committee have determined to refuse the application.
REASONS
The Sub-Committee were of the opinion that the application was for a significant variation to the existing premises licence in that it requested an extension of the licensable activities and opening hours by 3 hours Monday – Saturday and 4.5 hours on a Sunday with the exception of alcohol which was an extension of 2.5 hours Monday – Saturday and 4 hours Sunday.
The Sub-Committee has considered very carefully all of the evidence, including the additional information containing an amended operating schedule.
The Sub-Committee focused its consideration upon whether, in light of the policy, the proposed extension in hours would, on the balance of probabilities, not add to the cumulative impact already being experienced in the area.
The Sub-Committee considered carefully the following points raised by the applicant:-
