Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Panel considered an application for a Premises Licence in respect of Folklore, 13 Westcliffe Drive. The application sought the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises between 8am and 8pm daily.
Mr Janusz Kuca, applicant, was in attendance and made representations to the Licensing Panel. Mr Kuca highlighted the modest nature of the application and the specialised nature of the premises. Mr Kuca emphasised that the products on sale would be the Eastern European to reflect the food range already offered in the premises. It was also highlighted that the Police had agreed conditions with the applicant.
Ms D Creighton and Mr J Widdop, public objectors, were in attendance and outlined their concerns regarding anti-social behaviour in the area.
The Licensing Panel considered carefully the evidence submitted by all parties including the public objectors who were not in attendance. It considered that there were issues in the area but these could be addressed by applying a condition to restrict the use of the premises to a specialised East European food store with ancillary small scaled specialist alcohol sales and the conditions agreed with Lancashire Constabulary.
Resolved:
That the application for a Premises Licence in respect of Folklore, 13 Westcliffe Drive, be granted subject to additional conditions as outlined above restricted alcoholic products to 10% of the floor space and to specialised East European alcoholic drinks only and the conditions already agreed with Lancashire Constabulary. |
