Background

 

The premise is in a village location positioned on the Back Lane, in a residential area.

The applicant has requested a licence to cover activities both inside the pavilion and the outfield of the cricket pitch.

 

As part of the application process no representations have been received for Responsible Authorities, however a valid representation has been received from a resident in the area.

 

Relevant representations

 

Written representation has been received from a local resident on the grounds of public nuisance.

 

At the hearing, the Sub-Committee was advised that the local resident that had made representations would not be attending the hearing due to unforeseen circumstances. He did not object to the hearing taking place in his absence. He produced a further email with representations that were admitted into proceedings by consent of all parties.

 

Observations

 

The Sub Committee noted the reduction of the number of hours for licensable activities offered by the Applicant.

 

It was further noted that the application included licensable activities to take place in the cricket pavilion outfield which the Sub-Committee considered to be a significantly large area and difficult to supervise licensable activity. Evidence was heard from the Applicant that events to take place in the outfield would be approximately two a year.

 

The Sub-Committee felt that to advance the licensing objectives of preventing nuisance and promoting public safety, the Applicant should apply for a Temporary Event Notice for licensable activities that will take place in the outfield given the infrequency of the events, the size of the outfield and the infrequency of the proposed events during the year.

 

The decision

Taking all the above into account, the Sub-Committee decided to AGREE the application with conditions.
