WHILST THE TIMINGS QUOTED ABOVE ARE APPROXIMATE, IT IS HEREBY CONFIRMED THAT THE BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED WILL NOT COMMENCE IN ADVANCE OF THOSE TIMINGS.

The Sub-Committee adjourned and reconvened on site at Glanrannell Park Grounds, Crugybar, Llanwrdaat 10.05 a.m. in order to view the location of the premises in relation to objector’s property. The Sub-Committee was afforded the opportunity of touring the grounds and viewing the proposed locations of various elements of the event. Following conclusion of the site visit the Sub-Committee reconvened in the Chamber, County Hall, Carmarthen at 11.45 a.m. in order to consider the application.

The Legal Services Manager briefed all present on the procedure for the meeting and advised the Sub-Committee that an application had been received from The Big Cwtch Ltd for the grant of a premises licence for an annual event at Glanrannell Park Grounds, Crugybar, Llanwrda as follows: -

To permit:-

Supply of Alcohol:              Saturday 11:00-23:30

Regulated Entertainment:  Saturday 11:00-23:59

Late Night Refreshment:    Saturday 23:00-23:59

Opening Hours:                 Saturday 10:00 to Sunday 14:00

The Sub-Committee noted that the following documentation was attached to the report:-

·       Appendix A – copy of the original application submitted by the applicant;

·       Appendix B – representations submitted by the Licensing Authority, which had been agreed by the applicant;

·       Appendix C – representations submitted by Dyfed Powys Police, which had been amended and agreed with the applicant;

·       Appendix D – representations submitted by Public Health Services, which had been agreed by the applicant.

·       Appendix E – representations submitted by other persons.

The remaining Responsible Authorities had not made representations in respect of the application.

The Sub-Committee was circulated with copies of the following additional documentation, with the agreement of all parties:-

·       e-mail from Mr David Drinkall dated 18^th August, 2015 attaching 2 letters from neighbours and an e-mail detailing agreement between the applicant and Public Health Services to the proposed additional 6 licensing conditions attached to the e-mail at Annex 2;

·       Event Management Plan;

·       a list of observations made by the objector on the Event Management Plan.

The Licensing Authority representative referred to his representations as detailed within Appendix B to the report and stated that the wording set out in the operating schedule was not sufficiently precise to enable it to form clear enforceable licence conditions in accordance with section 18(2)(a) of the Licensing Act.  He felt that, if the application was granted, it would be appropriate to replace the statements made in the operating scheduled with conditions 1-8 as requested by the police.   He informed the Sub-Committee that he had liaised with colleagues in Public Health Services to prepare one set of conditions which were detailed in Annex 2, circulated earlier.

All parties were afforded the opportunity of questioning the Licensing Authority representative on the representations made.

The Sub-Committee thereupon received a representation from an interested party objecting to the grant of a premises licence on the following grounds:-

·       there was no consultation prior to last year’s inaugural event;

·       it is not a one day event as many days are required for preparation which cause disruption to his home and his holiday cottages;

·       the event jeopardises the quiet  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.
