After midnight on these specified days of the week no members of public will be permitted on the premises.’

 

Reasons for the decision;

 

The Sub-Committee, took into account the following reasons, when making their decision:

 

1.     The additional information, as discussed at the meeting, which provided the Sub-Committee with the necessary clarity as to how the premises has operated previously and it’s proposed operation and management with regards to providing Late Night Refreshment, particularly in relation to when it will be operating and providing a delivery service only.

The Sub-Committee slightly amended condition 3 to ensure the rear of the premises would continue to be covered by CCTV and condition 9 was amended to ensure there was complete clarity as to how the premises would operate from Sunday to Thursday.
