Variation of Premises Licence - Sir Joshua Reynolds PDF 618 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee having:
a)
Considered the contents of the Variation of Premises Licence Notice
Report and written representations submitted to the Licensing
Authority; b)
Heard from the applicant as follows: ii)
The applicant also owned the Post Office Public House, located on
the Ridgeway, Plympton. They had liaised exclusively with the
police and Plymouth City Council Environmental Health before
submitting the application in relation to the Sir Joshua Reynolds
Public House; iii)
The application was made with the Post Office Public House in mind,
with the intention to reduce the hours at the Post Office Public
House, if the increase of hours was granted. The Post Office Public
House was approximately 1 minute walk from the Sir Joshua Reynolds
Public House. The application was made to align the conditions in
both public houses and alleviate the bottle neck at the end of the
Ridgeway. It would also bring it into line with the Wetherspoons on
the Ridgeway and reduce the strain on the Post Office Public House
which was a smaller venue; iv)
The application in regard to the Post Office Public House could be
done by minor variation, which would only take a couple of weeks.
This would mean there was no overall increase in hours on the
Ridgeway; v)
Live music at the Sir Joshua Reynolds Public House did not go
beyond 2300 hours and occurred once a week. It attracted 60-100
people on a Saturday;
vi) The comprehensive list of new,
robust conditions were agreed with the Responsible
Authorities; vii)
A key issue that had been raised was the behaviour of people away
from the Sir Joshua Reynolds Public House, and the applicant would
agree a written dispersal policy to show how they would manage
this; ix)
There would be total sound containment between 2300 hours and 0800
hours and late-night music would be strictly policed by the
applicant. The staff would close the doors and windows when
entertainment was taking place, and noise checks were taken outside
with a meter; x)
There was no mechanical ventilation beyond opening windows and
doors and the applicant advised there would not be music on when it
would be necessary to have the doors/windows open and would end
entertainment if they could not maintain a safe level of
ventilation; xi)
The applicant had put in additional resource, including two
security staff on the front door and one at the rear
garden; xii)
There had been no representations from Responsible Authorities and
no complaints made to the applicant since they had taken over. The
police were overstretched in the area and so would have objected if
there were issues with the application; xiii) A number of issues contained in the representations pre-dated the applicant’s ownership of the Sir Joshua Reynolds Public House ... view the full minutes text for item 61. |
