The application
The application for a variation of premises licence for the Co-Op Stores, Church Street Gamlingay, was served in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003.
The requirements for advertising and displaying relevant notices were carried out in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003.
The proposed variation if approved would extend the hours for the sale of alcohol to the public
A summary of the main changes are: -
*Since receiving the representee’s objection to the proposal for an extension to the permitted hours for sale of alcohol, the Co-Op has applied to vary its application. The Co-Op is applying to amend its commencement hours for sale of alcohol from 07.00 to 23.00 Monday to Sunday all year.
Background
The Co-op is located on Church Street running through the village and is generally located in close proximity to residential premises.
The current premises licence does not limit opening times to the public.
The current permitted hours for sale of alcohol are:
Monday to Saturday 08.00 to 23.00
Sunday 10.00 to 22.30
Good Friday 08.00 to 22.30
Christmas Day 12.00 to 15.00 & 19.00 to 22.30
The Sub-Committee must be mindful to focus only on the proposed variations when considering representations e.g. extension to alcohol sales.
Relevant representations
A written representation from Mrs Kennedy who lives in close proximity to the Co-Op was received on 1st June 2017 concerning the proposed alcohol extensions. The representation is primarily concerned with the Public Nuisance objective relating to noise from deliveries and customers. The Licensing Officer notified Mrs Kennedy in writing that the Co-Op had amended its application in light of her written representations. No reply has since been received.
The representative for the Co-Op made the following representations:-
