Agenda and draft minutes

There were no declarations reported at the meeting.

The Chair opened the meeting stating that a request had been submitted by the Applicant and their representative for an adjournment of the hearing. The Sub-Committee invited the applicant’s representative to explain their reasons for the request. The Chair advised all parties that the sub-committee would only consider an application for an adjournment at this stage and would only hear representations regarding the application for premises licence if the Sub-Committee decided they would not allow an adjournment.

It was noted that there had been several additional submissions of evidence presented prior to the meeting and it was felt that to provide all parties with the opportunity to read and respond accordingly a request for an adjournment would be appropriate.

This request was put to those who had made representations in objection to the application for the licence. No objections to the request for an adjournment were presented.

All parties were asked to leave the room whilst the Sub-Committee deliberated the request.

All parties were invited back into the room to hear the Sub-Committee decision.

Discussion took place regarding the deadline for submission of evidence.

It was subsequently agreed between the parties that:-

·    the applicant will present their final evidence to those who have made representations within 7 days;

·    those making representations will respond to the evidence presented within a further 7 days; and

·    this would then allow a period of 7 days for both parties to prepare for the sub-committee hearing.

RESOLVED that the meeting stand adjourned, to be reconvened on a date and time to be confirmed once all parties had provided their availability.
