DECISION NOTICE – VARIATION OF THE PREMISES LICENCE
Date: 25 May 2016
The Sub-Committee has taken note of all the written concerns raised in respect of the application for the variation of the premises license in respect of The Diamond Banqueting Suite, Skinner Street, Wolverhampton. It has listened to the arguments of those who have spoken at the hearing, both for and against the application.
The Sub-Committee is satisfied that the Cumulative Impact Policy applies to these premises. It is further satisfied that sufficient evidence has been provided by the applicant to illustrate that the premises will not add to the cumulative impact already experienced and that the presumption of non-grant has been rebutted.
Based upon the above the Sub Committee has decided that the application to vary the premises licence should be granted as applied for but subject to the following conditions agreed between the applicant and West Midlands Police:
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
The Protection of Children From Harm
The following conditions agreed between the applicant and the Licensing Authority:
Public Safety
· To meet the requirements of the Regulatory Fire Safety Order 2005
and meet the British standards or equivalent for all equipment and furnishing. Capacity numbers should be calculated for the different types of use of the premises and noted within the Fire Risk Assessment.
Conditions agreed between the applicant and Environmental Health (Commercial):
The Prevention of Public Nuisance
· Noise and vibration should not be allowed to emanate from the premises so as to cause a nuisance to nearby commercial properties or residents;
· Except for access and egress all doors and windows shall be kept closed during periods of entertainment associated with the Premises Licence;
· The manager, licence holder or other competent person shall carry out observations in the vicinity of the nearest noise sensitive properties, at regular intervals whilst the Premises Licence is being exercised in order to establish whether there is a noise breakout from the premises. If the observation reveals noise breakouts at a level likely to cause disturbance to the occupants of properties in the vicinity when the volume of music shall be reduced to a level that does not cause disturbance;
· Clear notices should be displayed at all points where customers leave the building instructing them to respect the needs of local residents and leave the premises and the area quietly;
· Clear notices should be displayed at exits to smoking areas requesting customers to use such areas quietly.
It is considered that the above conditions should be attached in support of all the licensing objectives.
It is intended that these agreed conditions will replace those in the Operating Schedule of the current premises licence shown at pages 32 – 34 of the documents attached to the report and will also replace proposed conditions on the application at Section M, page 24 of the bundle of documents attached to the report. Finally, mandatory conditions required by the Act will be attached to the licence.
Written confirmation of the Sub Committee’s decision will be forwarded within the next five working days.
All parties have a right of appeal to the Magistrates Court within 21 days of receipt of this decision.
