Minutes:

Mr Foord, Divisional Manager for Communications; Licensing & Events outlined details of the application. Explained that application relates to the site at 11 North Street, Midhurst, West Sussex. The basis on which this Sub-Committee had been convened was that 13 representations had been received, 11 of these representations were from members of the public, 1 from Sussex Police and 1 from the Environmental

Protection Team at Chichester District Council.

 

Mr Foord, confirmed that following mediation by Sussex Police with the applicant, evidence had been provided to the Council of an agreement having been reached in principle between the applicant and the Police in their role as a Responsible Authority. This had resulted in revised and new conditions which are shown at pages 96 to 103 in the agenda pack. He confirmed that any result of mediation was ultimately for the Sub-Committee to determine. Further mediation with the Councils Environmental Protection Team can be seen at page 88 of the agenda pack associated with potentially reduced hours.

 

Mr Denny confirmed he was happy with the report presented by Mr Foord.

 

The Chairman then asked if there were any further questions from the Sub-Committee members of which there were none.

 

Mr Foord then invited Mr Denny to summarise his client’s application along with providing any additional comments he wanted to make.  Having summarised his client’s application the Sub-Committee members were then invited to ask any further questions of Mr Denny of which there was one from Cllr Potter which was seeking clarification as to whether the operational hours applied for, were similar or the same as his client’s other premises in Haslemere. Mr Denny confirmed that they were similar. Further clarification was sought as to why there was a need for the premises to have a license that incorporates an 8:30am start time to sell alcohol. The Chairman then asked his question which specifically related to the management of the incident book that had been proposed. He also wanted clarification regarding the retail sale of alcohol in the evenings in terms of customers purchasing alcohol and then taking it off site. Mr Denny provided a detailed response to the questions asked of him.

 

Mr Foord confirmed that the retail sale of alcohol that was to be taken off site was required to be in sealed container, and this had already been covered by a condition set out in the documents within the original Police representation on page 107 in the agenda.

 

Ms Di Lauro confirmed that management of the incident book was also a condition documented within the Police representation.

 

The other representors in attendance at the meeting were then invited to present their case to the Sub-Committee.

 

Mrs Jandac, who had made a relevant representation, outlined her concerns to the Sub-Committee.  She referred to the mediation that had taken place with the applicant, and confirmed that her concerns remained as to the lateness of the opening hours and the effect of noise created by people leaving the premises and those arriving  ...  view the full minutes text for item 69.
