Applicant Present

 

Mr M Horstead and Mrs K Horstead.

 

The Chairman opened the meeting and introduced Mr Laurence Foord, Divisional Manager for Communications, Licensing and Events, as the licensing team representative.

 

Mr Foord confirmed that there were no items arising from Regulation 6 (notice of hearing) of the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005.  He also confirmed that no representations had been withdrawn. The applicant and Sussex Police had agreed conditions in principle.

 

The Chairman introduced fellow members, officers present, the applicants and representors. He explained that the nature of the decision is to consider the granting, or otherwise, of a premises licence for the sale of alcohol, indoors only, at ‘Dartagnan’, 39 North Street, Chichester, PO19 1LX.

 

The Chairman asked Mr Foord to introduce his report.

 

Licensing Application

 

Mr Foord explained that the Sub-Committee is convened to determine an application made by Mr Matt Horstead, of 46 Maplehurst Rd, Chichester, for a permanent Premises License under the Licensing Act 2003.

 

The application relates to a site at 39 North St, Chichester trading as Dartagnan Clothing – a male retail store. The business is described by the Applicant in page 21 of the pack as “clothing retail for men, split over three floors; two for retail, one for office and a small bar area for customers to sit and enjoy a drink whilst shopping”.

 

Mr Foord clarified that the basis on which the Sub-Committee has been convened is because of the Licensing Authority (CDC) receiving five  relevant representations in opposition to the application. Three from members of the public, one from Cllr Martyn Bell and one from Sussex Police in their role as a Responsible Authority under the Licensing Act 2003. He explained that the main concerns related to the promotion of two licensing objectives, namely; The prevention of public nuisance and the prevention of crime and disorder, if a license is granted as per the original application. (Shown as attachment 3 on page 19 of the pack).

 

 

Mr Foord drew the Sub-Committee’s attention to paragraphs 4.4 and 4.5 of his report, highlighting for the avoidance of doubt, that it seeks a license for the one licensable activity of the Retail Sale of Alcohol for consumption on the premises only. The hours which would be applied to the license would be Monday to Saturday from 10am until 8pm, and from 11am until 4pm on Sundays.

 

He informed the Committee that on 16th November this authority received a request from Mr Horstead asking for the circulation of a message to the Representors to clarify certain points of his application and hopefully appease any concerns associated with it.

 

The Chairman asked Mr Horstead if Mr Foord’s report had outlined his application accurately. He agreed that it was but clarified the opening hours of his shop did not mirror the times applied for in the License. He stated that his shop closes at 5pm Monday to Saturday and would only be open until 8pm on  ...  view the full minutes text for item 77.
