The Licensing and Enforcement Officer presented Members with an application to vary the Premises Licence made by Gloucester City Council under Section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003 to vary the existing Premises Licence it holds for Plock Court Playing Fields, Longford Lane, Gloucester, GL2 9DW. The application had been brought before Members following receipt of a relevant representation from a local resident necessitating its determination under Section 35 of the Act. The Objector was not present at the meeting. Members were informed that the application sought approval for the provision of late night refreshment every day from 23.00 – 00.00 hours, the extension of the existing licensable activities to 23.30 hours every day, and for the sale of alcohol every day from 09.00 to 22.30 hours.
