Agenda and minutes

No declarations were reported at the meeting.

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meetings of the Licensing Sub-Committee held on 5th, 24th and 31st July, 2017 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chair.

The Sub-Committee considered an application for a new premises licence in respect of McDonalds Restaurants Ltd, Quora Retail Park, Delves Court, Thorne, Doncaster DN8 5UG. The procedure for considering the application is set out in Appendix A.

The Sub-Committee Members, the Applicant, and Responsible Authorities had received the agenda prior to the meeting.

A representation had been received from a resident which was attached at Appendix E of the report.

Following the circulation of the agenda papers, the Licensing department were made aware of an additional representation from a resident of Lyndhurst Close.  It was noted that although the letter stated it was on behalf of the residents of Lyndhurst Close it is only signed by Mr and Mrs Howard.

Whilst the representation did not come to the attention of the licensing officer until 10th August, after the statutory consultation period which ended on the 19th July,  Mrs Howard had declared that the representation was hand delivered to the Civic Office reception on 11th July before the 19th July deadline.

Whilst the licensing department did not appear to have received the letter before the 10th August they had made further enquires and it was confirmed that it was received at the Civic Office on the 11th July and forwarded to the Planning department in error. Following legal advice the view was taken that it was delivered to the Council in accordance with the terms specified on the public notices and for this reason the representation was accepted therefore two representations were included in the committee report. A copy of the representation was circulated to Members, the Applicant and other parties prior to the meeting.

The Chair made introductions and outlined the procedure to be followed.

The Applicant made representations and answered questions.

Representatives who had made written representations, made representations in respect of their objection to the application and answered questions.

All parties were then asked to leave the room whilst the Sub-Committee deliberated on the Application and reached a decision.

RESOLVED that the Licensing Sub-Committee having considered the application for a new premises licence for McDonalds Restaurants Ltd, Quora Retail Park, Delves Court, Thorne, Doncaster and having taken into account the written representations made and the evidence presented today, the steps that are appropriate to promote the Licensing Objectives, the Home Office Guidance and our Statement of Licensing Policy have decided to grant the application in the terms as set out in Appendix B subject to the following conditions:-

Litter patrols to take place on not less than 2 occasions per day to include the entirety of Lyndhurst Close and Kingfisher Way.
