Minutes:

The Licensing Panel considered an application for the review of the Premises Licence in respect of the Crystal Hotel, 7 Crystal Road from the Licensing Authority.

 

The Panel noted that the licence holder was not in attendance but agreed to hold the hearing in his absence as he had been notified of the hearing.

 

Mr Mark  Marshall was in attendance from the Licensing Authority and outlined the application for a review of the Premises Licence. Mr Marshall confirmed that many of the Licensing Authority’s concerns came from the inability to contact the previous Licence Holder who it is believed had moved abroad. Since the new Designated Premises Supervisor had been appointed the premises had improved compliance and the only issue remaining was that of noise during the use of the outdoor area.

Mr Marshall proposed dealing with the review by means of adding a condition restricting the use of the outdoor area after midnight to ensure that the Licensing Objectives were promoted.

 

The Panel considered that in light of the improvements to the operation of the premises this was a reasonable and proportionate step.

 

Resolved:

 

That the review of the Premises Licence for the Crystal Hotel, 7 Crystal Road, be dealt with by adding a condition to the licence restricting the use of the outside area at the rear of the premises between 12midnight and 7am
