APPLICATION FOR THE VARIATION OF A PREMISES LICENCE, STRADEY PARK HOTEL, FURNACE, LLANELLI, SA15 4HA

Minutes:

The Sub Committee having convened at 10.00 a.m. in the Council Chamber, County Hall, Carmarthen, adjourned at 10.10 a.m. to undertake a site visit to the Stradey Park Hotel, Furnace, Llanelli in connection with a variation application received for the Hotels Premises Licence. The Sub Committee arrived on site at 11.00 a.m. and viewed the Hotels roof top lounge area, being that part of the premises subject to the variation application. It also viewed from the Hotel Balcony the location of the objectors properties, following which it proceeded to the highway fronting the properties at ‘The Dell’ to view the proximity of that development to the hotel. Following conclusion of the site visit at 11.20 a.m. the Sub Committee reconvened at the Council Chamber, County Hall, Carmarthen at 1.30 p.m. 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 Gryphon Leisure for the grant of a variation of the premises licence in respect of the Stradey Park Hotel Furnace, Llanelli as follows:-

 

“Annexe 3 – 1. Only residents of the hotel will be permitted to purchase alcohol in the rooftop lounge”.

 

The Legal Services Manager advised that as the nature of the variation was specific to the roof top lounge area only at the Hotel, the granting of the application would enable non –residents attending the lounge to purchase alcohol. If the application were to be granted any conditions to be imposed on that variation could only be applied to that lounge and not to the general operation of the hotel or in respect of a Late Night Refreshment Licence.

 

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

 

Appendix A – copy of the application

Appendix B – copy of the existing premises licence

Appendix C – representations submitted by the Licensing Authority

Appendix D – representations submitted by the Public Health Services

Appendix E – representations submitted by other persons.
