PANEL'S REASONS FOR REACHING ITS DECISION
The Panel considered the application and the representations made by both parties at the hearing.
The Panel carefully considered the relevant convictions as outlined on the Basic Disclosure and disregarded all convictions that were not relevant to the promotion of the licensing objectives. It noted that the applicant had submitted an appeal in relation to the latest conviction and that the appeal had not yet been determined.
The Panel concluded that insufficient time had elapsed since the relevant convictions for it to be satisfied that the granting of a personal licence would be necessary and appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objective of crime and disorder.
PANEL DECISION
That the application for a personal licence be refused and that the applicant be invited to submit a further application in the event that the appeal relating to the recent offence be upheld, or after a longer period of time had elapsed.
