APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY EVENT NOTICES- FOOD LOUNGE a. APPLICATION AND REPRESENTATIONS SUBMITTED. To consider the attached report
b. DETERMINATION OF THE APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY EVENT NOTICES- Food Lounge
c. ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DECISION FOR TEMPORARY EVENT NOTICES- Food Lounge
Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Panel considered applications for Temporary Event Notices submitted for Food Lounge, Market Street, by Amir Abdun in respect of events taking place 11-13 August 2017, 18 – 20 August 2017, 25 – 29 August 2017 and 1 -3 September 2017. The applications were dealt with immediately after the review of the Premises Licence for Food Lounge.
Mr Amir Abdun was in attendance and made representations in support of the Temporary Event Notices. He highlighted that he was not connected to the previous Premises Licence holder and that he would operate the premises in line with the Licensing Objectives.
Sergeant Helen Parkinson, Lancashire Constabulary, was in attendance and made representations on the application. She highlighted the Police’s significant concerns regarding the operation of the premises contributing to anti-social behaviour in the Market Street area and the involvement of Mr Nabel Awadi in the premises.
The Licensing Panel noted that it had already revoked the Premises Licence of the Food Lounge due to significant concerns that the premises undermined the Licensing Objectives of Prevention of Public Nuisance, Prevention of Crime and Disorder and Protection of Children from Harm. As at the review hearing the Panel did not consider that Mr Abdun would be suitably distant from Mr Awadi in the operation of the premises nor would his control of the business result in improvements in its operation.
Resolved:
That a counter notice be issued with the effect being to disallow the Temporary Event Notices in respect of events to take place 11-13 August 2017, 18 – 20 August 2017, 25 – 29 August 2017 and 1 -3 September 2017.
