Minutes:

 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 Dyfed-Powys Police for the Review of a premises licence in respect of Greenbridge Inn, Pendine, Carmarthenshire, following a visit to the premises by Police and the Council’s Licensing Officer, as well as other intelligence logs submitted, which had identified a lack of management and control at the premises

 

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

 

Appendix A – background to the review and copy of the application;

Appendix B – Licensing Authority representations.

 

The Police Authority Representative referred to his representations, as detailed within Appendix A to the report, and advised that subsequent thereto he had met with the Premises Licence holder and his two daughters to discuss the application. As a consequence of that visit, Mr. Owen had agreed to cease to be the Designated Premises Supervisor and this would transfer to one of his daughters. Mr. Owen and his daughters had also agreed to accept the 22 additional conditions listed in Appendix A subject to condition 17 being amended, at their request, to the Challenge 25 scheme. It had been suggested that the CCTV should be installed by 31st July 2019. Both daughters had since undertaken licence holder courses.

 

All parties present were afforded the opportunity of questioning the Police Authority representative on his submission.

 

The Licensing Authority Representative referred to his representations, as detailed within Appendix B to the report and advised that the Licensing Authority supported the measures proposed by the police and considered that these measures were appropriate and proportionate.

LICENSING ACT 2003 FILM CLASSIFICATION REQUEST pdf icon PDF 280 KB

Minutes:

The Sub Committee considered a request received from Mrs Mair Craig, on behalf of Llansadwrn Reading Rooms, seeking a recommendation regarding the admission of children to view three previously unclassified short films.

 

The applicant intended to screen the three films, “Heartstrings”, “Neckface” and “Iawn Dol prior to the screening of a certificated feature film at the community cinema.  Furthermore, the premises intended operating the community cinema under the community premises exemptions set out in paragraph 6A of Schedule 1 of the Licensing Act 2003.

 

The Sub Committee noted that in order to satisfy the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003, the films shown must have a recommendation concerning the admission of children issued by either the British Board of Film Classification Body (BBFC) or relevant Licensing Authority. 

 

To enable the Sub Committee to make the required recommendations regarding the admission of children to view the films, it was afforded the opportunity of viewing the three short films and took into consideration the guidelines in relation to age ratings produced by the BBFC.

 

Having considered all the evidence before it, the Sub Committee

 

RESOLVED that

 

3.1 the film entitled “Heartstrings” be classified with a ‘U’ rating;

3.2 the film entitled “Neckface” be classified with a ‘15’ rating;

3.3 the film entitled “Iawn Dol” be classified with an ‘18’ rating.
