Application for Grant of a Premises – Granary Store to Mansion Road SO153BJ. Minutes: All parties received formal written confirmation of the decision and reasons.
This hearing was held as a virtual meeting using Microsoft Teams.
The Sub-Committee considered very carefully the application for grant of a premises licence for Granary Store 2 Mansion Road, Southampton, SO15 3BJ as submitted.
It gave due regard to the Licensing Act 2003, the Licensing Objectives, statutory guidance and the adopted statement of Licensing Policy. The Human Rights Act 1998, The Equality Act 2010 and The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 Section 17 were considered whilst making the decision.
The Sub-Committee made its decision on the basis of all of the evidence submitted, both in writing and given orally at the Hearing.
The Sub-Committee heard from Mr Suresh Kanapathi the Applicant’s Agent and the Applicant Mr Ratheesh Odalanickal.
The Sub-Committee noted that none of the Responsible Authorities attended the Hearing, but that conditions had been agreed by the Police and Environmental Health with the applicant, to be added to the licence, should the application be granted. The residential objector Mr Webb did not attend but his written objection was considered.
Having considered all of the above the Sub-Committee agreed to grant the licence in accordance with the application covering the supply by retail of alcohol during the following hours: Monday 06:00 - 23:00 Tuesday 06:00 - 23:00 Wednesday 06:00 - 23:00 Thursday 06:00 - 23:00 Friday 06:00 - 23:00 Saturday 06:00 - 23:00 Sunday 06:00 - 23:00
In addition the licence will be subject to the additional conditions contained in an email from Matthew Taylor Principal Environmental Health Officer to the Applicant’s Agent dated 16th July 2024.
The licence will also be subject to the additional conditions set out in an email from PC Lee Scott to the Applicant’s Agent dated 9th July 2024.
Reasons:
The Sub-Committee noted the concerns of the local resident about the proximity to a local school and potential problems regarding the sale of alcohol. Questions were asked of the Applicant regarding potential for underage sales and training. The Sub-Committee was satisfied with the responses provided as to the adoption of Challenge 25 and the training that would be provided to all staff.
Questions were also asked regarding the CCTV system and its immediate availability on request. The Sub-Committee was satisfied that all staff will be able to provide access to the CCTV system when required.
The Sub-Committee was reminded that the Police and Environmental Health were satisfied that conditions had been agreed with the applicant and therefore did not attend the hearing. They would be the proper authority to make representations regarding crime and noise.
The Sub-Committee received legal advice that the legislation provides for a presumption of grant of an application for a premises licence, and an application should only be refused if conditions on the licence could not address issues raised. In this case additional conditions had been agreed with the Police and Environmental Health, which dealt with those issues satisfactorily.
Advice was also given that in accordance ... view the full minutes text for item 19. |
