Report by the Corporate Director of Services and Neighbourhoods. Additional documents: Minutes: The Licensing and Enforcement Officer presented an application to vary a premises licence made under Section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003 from Mr Ibrar Ahmed Malik in respect of a business known as Peri Peri’s Chickenland, operating from 152 Southgate Street, Gloucester. The application requested the removal of the provision for the retail sale of alcohol and the adding of the provision of Late Night Refreshment both on and off the premises between the following times:-
Sunday to Thursday 23.00 to 02.00 hours Friday and Saturday 23.00 to 03.00 hours
Details of the application and a copy of the current licence were referred to as Appendix A to the report.
Members noted that the only licensable activity on the existing licence related to the sale of alcohol and that with the exception of the following two conditions, all other conditions related purely to this function:-
The Licensing and Enforcement Officer advised Members that should they agree to vary the premises licence, they should consider removing all the existing conditions relating to the sale of alcohol, with the exception of the two conditions above and that they should consult with the two Responsible Authorities if they were minded to do so.
The Sub-Committee was informed that the applicant had left Section P of the application blank and had not proposed any additional measures to support the licensing objectives.
Members noted that representations had been received from two Responsible Authorities directly relating to the licensing objectives. Gloucestershire Constabulary had concerns regarding crime and disorder and public nuisance and the City Council’s Environmental Protection Team considered public nuisance would be an issue if the variation was approved.
The Committee’s attention was drawn to the list of existing licensed premises in Gloucestershire Constabulary’s representation and it was noted that one of these premises was now closed and that the Applicant’s premises had also been included in this list.
Representations had also been received from three nearby residents either living above the actual premises or above the adjoining premises. They had concerns regarding alleged existing nuisance and the potential for this to continue into the early hours, should the licence be granted.
The Licensing and Enforcement Officer summarised the application and referred Members to the relevant sections of the Home Secretary’s Guidance and the City Council’s Licensing Policy Statement.
Members were advised that having considered the application, any relevant representations, the legislative provisions, the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy and the Home Secretary’s Guidance, they had the following options as considered necessary to promote the Licensing Objectives.
(a) To accept the application and attach conditions as consistent with the operating schedule.
(b) To accept the application and modify the conditions of the licence which includes altering, omitting or adding new conditions.
