Minutes:

The Sub Committee at its meeting on the 26th June 2018 resolved to defer the decision of the Temporary Event Notice to 31st July 2018 and 26th September 2018, in order to gather further evidence.

 

The Legal Services Manager briefed all present on the procedure for the meeting and advised the Sub Committee that an objection notice had been submitted by the Public Health Department of Carmarthenshire County Council in relation to a Temporary Event Notice which had been submitted by Mrs Maria Dallavalle of La Scala, 15 Bryn Mawr Avenue, Ammanford, SA18 2DA.

 

The Temporary Event Notices related to the sale by retail of alcohol, the provision of Regulated Entertainment and Late Night Refreshment, on the premises on the following day and hours:-

 

Saturday 3rd November 2018 - Great Hall, Derwydd Mansion.

·         Supply of Alcohol, Regulated Entertainment and Late Night Refreshment 12:00-00:30.


 

The Legal Services Manager informed the Committee that the Public Health Department had objected to the Temporary Event Notice on the grounds of noise nuisance arising from previous events held at the premises.

 

The Licensing Officers circulated additional information from the applicant and the Environmental Health Services department.  The Sub Committee considered the documents submitted including the additional information, and all relevant written representations received before the hearing from the parties.

 

The Sub Committee received an oral representation from the Environmental Health Practitioner:-

  • The Environmental Health Practitioner expressed his disappointment to be here again today as it was hoped that this would have been resolved amicably.

  • The Sub Committee was informed that the focus of evidence today would relate to indoor weddings. However, since the last meeting, the Environmental Health Practitioner highlighted to the Sub Committee that an Abatement Notice in respect of Noise Nuisance had been issued to Derwydd Mansion Events Limited on 21st September 2018.

  • With reference to the Noise Management Plan (NMP) provided in the additional information, the Environmental Health Practitioner highlighted the key elements of the mitigation measures to the Sub Committee and that it was not clear if the plan was actually being implemented by the applicant.

  • Following the last event held on 1st September 2018, Mrs Dallavalle had been requested to clarify what elements of the NMP had been done, Mrs Dallavalle, at the request of the Environmental Health Practitioner, provided clear Yes/No answers in respect of each specific point.  The Environmental Health Practitioner highlighted that he had personally witnessed incidents in breach of the plan, contrary to responses provided by Mrs Dallavalle. 

  • Reference was made to a map provided in the additional information, which showed a plan of Derwydd Mansion and its surrounding area.  The map displayed two different paths marked ‘Path A’ which was located on the West side of the property and travelled from the Car Park to the Marquee and ‘Path B’ from the Mansion to the Marquee which travelled on the East side of the property closest to the neighbouring properties.  In order to minimise noise and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.

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 Mr Cefin Llewellyn Evans,  for the grant of a variation of the premises licence in respect of the Pelican Inn, Sycamore street, Newcastle Emlyn, SA38 9AP as follows:-

 

·         “The Provision of Late Night Refreshment Sunday to Thursday 23:00-00:00;

                                                                  Friday & Saturday 23:00-02:30.

 

·         The Supply of Alcohol Friday & Saturday 10:00-02:00.

 

  • Opening Hours Friday & Saturday 10:00-02:30.                                        

 

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

 

Appendix A – copy of the application and 2 letters of support;

Appendix B – copy of the existing premises licence;

Appendix C – representations submitted by the Licensing Authority;

Appendix D – representations submitted by Dyfed Powys Police Authority;

Appendix E – representations submitted by other persons.

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

 

In addition to the above the Sub Committee received, with the consent of all parties, a Geo-Discoverer map of Sycamore Street and the surrounding area which had the premises of the Pelican Inn, supporters and objectors marked out.

 

The Sub Committee considered the documents submitted, and all relevant written representations received before the hearing from the parties.

 

The Dyfed-Powys Police Authority Representative referred to his representation, as detailed within Appendix D to the report and advised that:-

 

  • subsequent thereto he had been in contact with the Newcastle Emlyn PCSO, the Neighbourhood Police Team Sergeant and the Licensing Officer from Cardigan for their views regarding the application. He had also met with the applicant and tenant at the premises in June to discuss the plans. 

 

  • as a consequence of the discussions and subsequent visit, he had on the 7th August, 2018 written to the applicant informing him that whilst there were no formal Police objections to the proposed variation, the Police, due to the later hours applied, believe it necessary and appropriate to promote the Licensing Objectives to include of a number of additional conditions as outlined in the letter (Appendix D appended to the report refers) to the premises licence should the Sub Committee be minded to grant the variation application.

 

  • the applicant volunteered to include point 19 of the conditions “No Persons to be allowed entry or to re-enter the premises after midnight”.

 

  • the Police were of the view that a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) with a personal licence must be in day to day control of the premises.  Currently, the tenant did not have a personal licence and Mr Evans who was the current DPS holder could not be at the premises regularly.  However, other persons working at the premises were personal licence holders.

  • there was one other premises in the town that currently stayed open to 2am. The Police were content with the 2:00am licence as this would be fair and consistent with other licenced premises in the area and would help prevent migration.
