b. DETERMINATION OF THE APPLICATION FOR A PREMISES LICENCE- Koziolek, 271A Church Street
c. ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DECISION FOR THE APPLICATION FOR A PREMISES LICENCE- Koziolek, 271A Church Street
Additional documents:
Minutes: The Panel considered an application for a Premises Licence in respect of Koziolek, 271A Church Street. The application was for the permission to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises.
Ms M Antczak, Applicant, and Ms R Brzozowksa in support of the applicant were in attendance and made representations in support of the application. The applicant explained that their application was of a modest nature to allow the ancillary sale of alcohol alongside other Polish and East European products. They highlighted that the applicant and the proposed Designated Premises Supervisor were experienced in the licensed trade and the specialist nature of the shop.
Ms S Slater and PC Driver presented objections on behalf of Lancashire Constabulary.
Mr M Marshall from the Licensing Authority presented objections to the application. The Panel noted Mr Marshall’s view that the application did not include sufficient detail as to how the licensing objectives would be upheld.
Mr M Akhtar a member of the public also spoke in objection to the application.
The Panel noted that the premises were located within Talbot ward which was one of the four wards that form part of the Off Licence Saturation Policy. The effect of this policy is to create a rebuttalable presumption that applications would be refused.
The Panel considered the application, the representations, the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy and the Secretary of State’s guidance.
The Panel considered that the applicant had not proved that their application should be granted as an exception to the Cumulative Impact Policy. Therefore the application would impact on the promotion of the Licensing Objectives in the area.
Resolved:
That the application for a Premises Licence for Koziolek, 271A Church Street, be refused. |
