Minutes:

The Sub-Committee considered an application for a new premises licence in respect of The Old Brewhouse, Cusworth Hall, Back Lane, DN5 7TU. The procedure for considering the application was set out in Appendix A.

 

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

 

At the commencement of the hearing, the Chair made introductions and outlined the procedure to be followed.

 

David Smith, the Licensing Officer, introduced the report and outlined the key points.

 

The applicant, Mr Chris Hone, and his business associates, Mr Steven Parker and Mr Michael Hart, were in attendance at the meeting and put forward their application to the Committee, and answered any questions from both Committee Members and from the objectors in attendance at the meeting.

 

A number of objectors who had made written representations were in attendance at the meeting, and made representations in respect of their objections.

 

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

The Applicant states they have no control over people who buy drink and drink it elsewhere in the grounds of the Park. However, the Applicant has made it clear that the only off sales were to be their own brewed products for off sales in takeaway containers. The Applicant has therefore made it clear they do not intend the premises to be an off licence selling all types of alcohol. The Committee believes that the condition imposed would ensure that the premises would not be a general off licence.

 

The Applicant says that people leaving the area were out of the control of the Applicant. The Committee does not agree but have noted that a condition already proposed in the Application is for signage asking patrons to leave the area quietly. The Committee notes there is a statutory restriction on selling alcohol to drunk or intoxicated persons. The Committee also notes the application has conditions already suggested to prevent antisocial and drunk behaviour emanating from the premises.
