The requirements for advertising and displaying relevant notices were carried out in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003.

Relevant representations

Written representations were received from Margaret and David Blackman, Derek Marston, Ashley and Hilary Gordon, Paul Harvey, Joanna Sheldon and Oliver Morley.

Observations:

The Sub Committee noted the amended hours offered by the applicant to accommodate the concerns of the interested parties. It was further observed that the amendments were broadly welcomed by interested parties attending. It was further observed that the applicants were seeking to establish a gastro-pub with no regulated music and the emphasis of the business would be fine dining.
