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

Minutes:

The Committee having

(i)

considered the report from the Director for Community Services

(ii)

heard from the new Premises Licence Holder (PLH) that he had taken over the premises recently and that he had agreed conditions with the police which would assist him in running the premises. A new Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) is in place

(iii)

heard from a representative of Devon & Cornwall Police that

 

  •  

a review had been bought initially with respect to the poor management and the impact that was having on the crime and disorder licensing objective. This had been addressed with the transfer of the DPS and premises licence. However there was a problem at the premises in general under the prevention of crime and disorder licensing objective in that the current licence conditions were outdated and needed replacing in order to promote the licensing objective. Therefore the police had agreed conditions with the applicant which would address the problems which had been experienced as follows:

 

 

1.

A digital CCTV system will be installed operating both internally and externally to cover areas to which the public have access (save for the toilets)

 

 

2.

CCTV will be maintained in good working order at all times

 

 

3.

CCTV images will comply with the Home Office Guidance regarding quality of images and will be retained for a minimum of 28 days.

 

 

4.

the CCTV system will be capable of being downloaded into a viewable format (disc or memory stick)

 

 

5.

a notice will be displayed at the entrance to the premises advising that CCTV is in operation.

 

 

6.

the Police Licensing Department will be informed if the CCTV system is not working properly with 48 hours.

Having taken into account the representations made by the police and the premises licence holder the committee agreed to amend the licence in order to promote the licensing objective of prevention of crime and disorder as follows:

1.  The conditions agreed between the Police and the Premises Licence Holder at (iii) above would be attached to the licence

2.  To remove the existing condition on the premises licence at 'B Steps that have been taken to promote the Four Licensing Objectives' which reads

1. We will continue to adhere to the current PEL condition including door security to be removed and replaced with the conditions agreed between the police and the premises licence holder.
