REVIEW OF PREMISES LICENCE - THE COOPERAGE, 134 VAUXHALL STREET, PLYMOUTH (TO FOLLOW) pdf icon PDF 36 KB

The Director for Community Services will submit a report on the review of a premises licence.

Minutes:

The Committee having –

 

(a)

considered the report from the Director for Community Services;

 

(b)

heard from a representative of the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary that –

 

 
  •  

the application for review of the premises licence was made on 22 June 2006;

 

 
  •  

the hearing had subsequently been adjourned on several occasions;

 

 
  •  

the review of these premises was based on the fact that the Dance Academy had been taken for review following a police drugs raid and the owner Mr Bahmanzadeh had moved the business to these premises which he also owned;

 

 
  •  

the premises licence had been transferred;

 

 
  •  

Mr Bahmanzadeh no longer had any connection to the property or the premises licence.

 

The Committee did consider the conditions currently on the premises licence and considered these to be sufficiently robust to alleviate any concerns regarding any future possible trading of the premises.

 

Having taken into account all the relevant representations made, the members have agreed to take no action as the committee did not deem it necessary.
