The Chairman formerly opened the hearing and introduced the Sub-Committee members and Chichester District Council officers present as well as outlining the process of today’s hearing. 

 

Mr Foord outlined the details of the application for a new premises licence.  The formal notice of hearing had been published on 15 October 2015 and on the same day Mr and Mrs Shah had responded advising they would be in attendance and would like to address the Sub-Committee.  Confirmation that the representors, Mr J Parker and Mr L Howard, would be in attendance had not been received until the day before the hearing following further contact by officers of the Licensing Authority.  Consent was given by the Sub-Committee for them both to be able to address the Sub-Committee if they wished.  Mr Foord confirmed that no representations had been withdrawn.

 

Mr Foord reported that the applicant did not have a legal representative with her today but was accompanied by her husband.  He reported that the proposed designated premises supervisor would be a Mr C Jogi who was unable to attend today’s hearing due to work commitments.  The application was for the single licensing activity of the sale of alcohol only for consumption off the premises, which was proposed to be a convenience store.  The proposed hours that the premises would be open were 07:00 to 21:00 hours Monday to Saturday and 08:00 to 20:00 hours on a Sunday, which would mirror the proposed opening hours.  He reported that a valid application had been received on 2 September 2015 and that the representation period had run for 28 days until 30 September 2015.  The statutory notices had been displayed at the premises and the appropriate advert published in the Chichester Observer series of newspapers on 17 September 2015.  Representations had been received from two local residents.  A representation had also been received for Sussex Police who had resolved their concerns following mediation with the applicant and an agreement in principle of a number of conditions.  Nonetheless it was still a matter for the Sub-Committee to consider the inclusion of these conditions or otherwise. 

 

Following correspondence received by the Licensing Authority from Sussex Police referring to the “variation of a premises licence” confirmation was obtained that this was a typing error and that Sussex Police had considered the application based on it being for a new premises licence.

 

Mr Foord reported that mediation with the local representors had unsuccessful. 

 

The application set out the steps the applicant proposed to take to promote the four licensing objectives and it was for the Sub-Committee to determine the application and give their reasons for that determination. 

 

In response to a question from Mr Potter regarding the request from Sussex Police that a condition should be included requiring the provision of CCTV and whether this would include a requirement for CCTV outside the premises, Mr Foord confirmed that Sussex Police’s request reflected current Home  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
