An application to review the Premises Licence was submitted by the Licensing Authority- Mark Marshall attended on behalf of this responsible authority and made representations on the grounds for review.

 

The Licence Holder and Designated Premises Supervisor of the Marton Institute were in attendance represented by their solicitor, Trevor Colebourne.

 

Additionally,  a number of public representors were in attendance and made representations in support of the premises.

 

The Panel considered carefully the evidence submitted by all parties, the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy and the Secretary of State’s guidance.
