Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Panel considered an application for a Premises Licence in respect of 378-380 Vicarage Lane. The application was from Pizzaco Limited trading as the Pizza Company. The proposed licence would grant permission for the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises 12.00 to 23.00 daily. It was also intended that alcohol would be supplied with food as an alcohol delivery.
Mr J Seedle was in attendance and outlined the application. He highlighted that his company operated a similar premises in Lytham. He explained that there had been no issue with the operation of that premises and that experienced staff would operate the premises. He outlined the agreement reached with Lancashire Constabulary over conditions which reflected in any case the way the premises would be operated.
Councillor Hutton was in attendance and outlined objections on behalf of himself and Councillor L Taylor, the other ward councillor. He expressed concern as to the risks for staff and the difficulties inherent in the alcohol delivery model. Councillor Hutton suggested that a limit could be placed restricting staff members delivering alcohol to those over 21.
In response Mr Seedle explained that while this would almost certainly be the case, such a condition would unfairly restrict the business’s flexibility to operate its premises.
The Licensing Panel considered carefully the evidence submitted by both parties. It considered that it was necessary and proportionate to impose one additional condition restricting the delivery of alcohol to those aged over 18 years of age.
Resolved:
That the application for a Premises Licence in respect of 378-380 Vicarage Lane subject to the condition as outlined above. |
