NOTE: The jurisdiction of the Regulatory Committee, when acting as Licensing Committee, under the Licensing Act 2004.

             

              (NB Councillor Wainwright arrived during the meeting and took no part in the proceedings)

            The Committee considered an application, which had been made under section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 for a premises licence in relation to the above property. 

 

            The hearing was held in accordance with the provisions of section 18 Licensing Act 2003 and the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005.

 

            The applicant, James Edward King was represented by Simon Taylor (Solicitor) and they were assisted by Jim Griffiths (Vanguardia, Noise Consultants) and Stephen Fitsimmons (Proposed DPS Cream)

 

            Warrington Borough Council were represented by Jan Souness (Head of Service Chief Executive’s Office) Phil Ramsden (Principal Environmental Health & Protection Officer): also in attendance were John Holmes  (Solicitor) and Lisa Capper (Solicitor)

 

            Cheshire Constabulary were represented by Ian Seville  (Police Licensing Officer) and Inspector David Price: also in attendance was Holly Simpson (Press Officer)

 

            Halton Borough Council Environment, Enforcement & Building Control Division were represented by Yee May Sung (Principal Environmental Health Officer (Health & Safety)) and Wendy Salisbury (Principal Environmental Health Officer) and Isobel Mason (Senior Environmental Health Officer)

 

            The following interested parties made oral representations objecting to the application on behalf of 465 residents who submitted collective representations

 

·        Julian Wrigley       – Hatton

·        Claire Priestner      – Higher Walton

·        Albert Beckett       – Moore

·        Mathew Nicols       – Hatton

·        Frances Hough -  Daresbury

 

            Revd Canon David R Felix made oral representations objecting to the application on behalf of All Saints Church Daresbury and in his capacity as a local resident

 

            Mr Owen (from Daresbury) also asked a question relating to public transport.

 

            The Committee heard representations in person from the applicant, Warrington Borough Council (which had objected to the application), Cheshire Constabulary and Halton Borough Councils Environment Enforcement and Building Control Division: these bodies had not objected to the application but had requested that a number of conditions be attached to the premises licence if it were granted by the Committee.  In addition the Committee considered representations made in person by interested parties who had previously given notice that they had wished to speak at the hearing together with one individual interested party who requested to speak at the hearing.  The Committee considered all written relevant representations as well as the oral representations made at the hearing.

 

            As part of their presentations Cheshire Constabulary and Halton Borough Council’s Environment Enforcement and Building Control Division outlined a number of conditions which they requested to be attached to the premises licence should the application be granted.  The applicant confirmed that should the Committee impose such conditions they would be acceptable to the applicant.

 

            Following the hearing the Committee retired to consider the application and all relevant representations. The Committee considered the application and all relevant representations and found that the application was not inconsistent with the licensing objectives but that a number of conditions should be imposed.

 

            RESOLVED:

 

(1)       That having considered the application in accordance with section 4 Licensing Act 2003 and all other relevant considerations it is decided that the application be granted subject to the conditions set out in Appendix 1 to this minute.
