the application for the Temporary Event Notice (TEN) was for Sunday 30 August 2015 for the hours of 11pm – 4am which represented the licensed hours of operation for the Friday and Saturday opening under the premises licence;

·          

with regard to the Environmental Health objection about alleged complaints of noise from the premises they considered that this noise was taking place at 6am and that it could not be attributed to Angels as they close at 4am and can provide CCTV evidence to show that the premises had been cleared of all patrons at that time;
