All parties present were afforded the opportunity of questioning the applicant on his submission.
The Sub Committee did not receive any oral representation from the objector as they were not in attendance.
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED to retire into private session in order to receive legal advice pursuant to Paragraph 16 of Schedule 12 to the Local Government Act.
Following the adjournment, the Sub Committee reconvened to advise of its decision and, having regard to the relevant paragraphs of the Licensing Authority’s Statement of Licensing Policy and the guidance issued by the DCMS and the Home Office, it was
RESOLVED that having considered all the evidence before it, the Sub Committee finds that the application should be granted subject to the agreed licence conditions.
REASONS:
In coming to its decision, the Sub Committee had made the following findings of fact;
- There was no history of alcohol related crime and disorder or alcohol related public nuisance at or related to the premises.
- Wind Street, Ammanford was however identified as a crime and disorder hotspot in the Council's statement of Licensing Policy.
- None of the responsible authorities objected in principle to the grant of the licence.
- The Police and Public Health services had requested additional licence conditions to promote the licensing objectives.
- The applicant had accepted those additional licence conditions.
The Sub Committee had attached weight to the views of the responsible authorities and in particular that their proposed licence conditions had been agreed.
The Sub Committee recognised that its decision must be based upon real evidence, and that concerns and fears about what might happen if a licence were granted, where unsupported by such evidence, are not matters which they can properly take into account.
Based on the evidence before it the Sub Committee found that it was appropriate to grant the application as it was satisfied that the agreed licence conditions were appropriate to promote the licensing objectives and a proportionate response to the issues identified, including those raised by the local objector.
