b. DETERMINATION OF THE APPLICATION FOR THE VARIATION OF A PREMISES LICENCE- MILANO’S, 7 STATION ROAD
c. ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DECISION FOR THE APPLICATION FOR THE VARIATION OF A PREMISES LICENCE- MILANO’S, 7 STATION ROAD
Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Panel considered an application for the Variation of the Premises Licence in respect of Milano’s, 7 Station Road. The variation proposed to extend the hours for Late Night Refreshment until 5am on all seven days of the week.
The applicant Mr Hassan was in attendance accompanied a family member and made representations to the Panel. Mr Hassan highlighted the necessity of the extension in opening hours to allow the business to remain profitable. He also emphasised that he did not feel that such hours would affect negatively neighbouring residents.
The objector, Mr Muir accompanied by his wife was in attendance. He highlighted his current concerns regarding noise and other nuisance caused by the proposed extension in hours. He explained the proximity of his property to the premises and the residential nature of the area.
The Panel considered carefully the evidence submitted by all parties. It considered that there would be an unacceptable level of nuisance caused to neighbouring properties and this would undermine the Licensing Objective of Prevention of Public Nuisance. The Panel did not consider that conditions could be imposed which would mitigate these concerns and the only step it could take to promote the Licensing Objective would be to refuse the variation of the Premises Licence.
Resolved:
That the application for the variation of the Premises Licence for Milano’s, 7 Station Road be refused. |
