Additional documents:
Minutes: The Panel considered an application for a review of a premises licence for the Waterloo Hotel and Bowling Club on the grounds of prevention of public nuisance. It noted that the licence holders at the time the review was submitted had subsequently surrendered the licence and that the new licence holder was HS Inns (Waterloo) Ltd.
Mr Marshall, Licensing Health and Safety Enforcement Manager presented the application for review on behalf of the Licensing Authority.
Mr Audin, Manager of Waterloo Hotel and Bowling Club and Mr Hannon from HS Inns (Waterloo) Ltd attended the meeting and made representations to the Panel.
The Panel noted the concerns that had been raised by residents following the outdoor event that had been held at the premises during the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd August. The specific concerns related to major noise disturbance from the loud music being played at the event and the lack of prior notice that the event would be taking place. The Panel also noted the petition that had been received objecting to future outdoor events and acknowledged that this demonstrated that the event had had a widespread impact on a significant number of people.
The Panel noted reassurances from Mr Audin and Mr Hannon not to hold similar outdoor events in the future and their intention to use the outdoor space solely as a bowling green.
The Panel carefully considered the representations made by both parties at the meeting. It also had regard to the Revised Guidance under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the Live Music Act 2012.
Members noted that both parties concurred to conditions being added to the licence to prevent regulated entertainment being played outside the premises and in the event of a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) being sought in the future to permit regulated entertainment outside the premises, local residents within a specified area would be notified of the event prior to the application.
Resolved: 1. That it would be appropriate to promote the licensing objective of prevention of public nuisance to add the following conditions to the premises licence of the Waterloo Hotel and Bowling Club:
· No regulated entertainment to be permitted outside the premises at any time. · That in the event of a future TEN being sought to permit regulated entertainment outside the premises, local residents within a specified area would be notified prior to application.
2. That the provisions of the Live Music Act 2012 be disapplied. |
