Decision details

To refer a request by Grantchester Parish Council for the adoption by South Cambridgeshire District Council of Broadway in the village of Grantchester to be designated a Consent Street under The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 and subsequent publication of the required public notices to confirm adoption.

The Licensing Committee refused the request by Grantchester Parish Council for the street of Broadway in Grantchester, to be designated a Consent Street under The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982. Members agreed the reasons for refusal were:

·         The committee took account of the representations made both in favour and against designation of Broadway as a Consent Street.

·         The committee considered that the public consultation had not demonstrated overriding reasons to support the Parish Council’s request.

·         No responsible authority had objected to pop-up food vans trading on Broadway.

·         The Committee took account of the representation made by the publican of the Blue Ball Inn, which stated that as the pub had a kitchen their intention was not to have a monthly pop-up food van and suggested that this may instead occur once every couple of months. The Committee also noted that it was indicated in the representation, that the last pop-up van on Broadway had been some time ago.
