               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:
