Minutes:

The Licensing Sub-Committee considered the Application for a New Premises License at 53 Purley Bury Avenue, Croydon, CR8 1JF and the representations received as contained in the report of the Executive Director ‘Place’.

 

The Sub-Committee further considered the representations from the parties including the verbal representations of the objectors to the premises license and the verbal representations of the applicant, and the further documentation submitted by the applicant during the hearing of the application.

 

The Sub-Committee, having reference to the licensing objectives under the Licensing Act 2003 and the Council Licensing Policy the Sub-Committee, had RESOLVED to GRANT the premise license, on the basis that the grant of the application would support the promotion of the licensing objectives of prevention of crime and disorder; the prevention of public nuisance; and the protection of children from harm.

 

In granting this application, the Sub-Committee hereby imposed the following conditions in addition to the conditions agreed by the applicant with the Police in paragraph 1.5 of the application.

 

Further as agreed by the applicant, the Sub-Committee hereby, imposed the following conditions:

1.    The Premises shall not be hired out to the general public.

2.    The Premises shall only be used by Members of the Purley Bury Bowling Club and Members of the Purley Bury Croquet Club including their bonafide guests.

3.    As agreed by the applicant, the premises shall be operated as a private club.

 

In granting this application the Sub-Committee focused itself on the steps considered appropriate to promote the relevant licensing objectives raised in the application and did not stray into areas not relevant to the application. In particular, the Sub-Committee note that the issue regarding the covenant contained in the freehold title was raised by the objectors but the Sub-Committee did not consider this issue as it believed this was a private law matter and not relevant for consideration of the application.

 

The Sub-Committee were of the view that this decision was based on evidence adduced at the hearing including written representations, as the conditions were appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives and proportionate to what the Sub-Committee aimed to achieve.
