As per the attached Licensing (2003 Act) Committee Procedure Minutes: The Chairman and remaining members of the Panel introduced themselves, as did the officers present. Richard Wormold, Barrister was present representing the Applicant and was accompanied by Barry Todd and Fran Gillgallan, tenants of the Duke of Wellington.
Also in attendance at the meeting were five members of the public who had made representations to the application; four indicated their wish to speak at the hearing. There were also two members of the press present.
The Assistant Solicitor for the Council informed the Chairman that the representation from Councillor RMA Manning included in the agenda papers should be disregarded. It was an invalid representation and should have not been accepted as it was not clear whether it was a personal representation or one made on behalf of the public. One of representees present disagreed with the action taken as he had been informed during a discussion with a member of the licensing department, that the letter had been re-written and submitted to comply with the appropriate criteria. The Chairman, confirmed that that the Sub-Committee would follow the legal advice given in respect of that representation. |
