Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Panel considered an application for a new Premises Licence in respect of Bella Pizza, 89 Dickson Road.
The applicant, Mr Shojaee was in attendance and spoke in support of his application. He explained that he had recently taken over the premises and sought the licence to expand his operation.
Mr Shaw, Health and Safety, was in attendance and spoke in objection to the application. He highlighted the previous poor operation of the premises and the concerns noted by his colleague during a recent inspection, this included the lack of a recent electrical safety certificate and concerns regarding the gas installation on the premises.
The Panel expressed concern at the poor state of the premises and that the Health and Safety department’s issues had not yet been addressed. It considered that at present that the risks of the premises undermining the licensing objective of Public Safety were significant. It considered that the applicant should concentrate on ensuring that the premises were safe for the public before considering a licence for Late Night Refreshment.
Resolved: That the application for a Premises Licence for Bella Pizza be refused. |
