Agenda and minutes

RESOLVED:  That Councillor Ramji Chauhan be appointed Chair of the Licensing Panel Hearing.

RESOLVED:  To note that there were no declarations of interests made by Members.

[Note:  Licensing Panel minutes are:-

(1)          approved following each meeting by the Members serving on that particular occasion and signed as a correct record by the Chair for that meeting;

(2)          not submitted to the next panel meeting for approval.

Reasons: The Licensing Panel is constituted from a pooled membership. Consequently, a subsequent Panel meeting is likely to comprise a different Chair and Members who took no part in the previous meeting’s proceedings. The process referred to at (1) above provides appropriate approval scrutiny].

Report of the Divisional Director of Environment and Culture.

In attendance:

RESOLVED:  That, having taken into account the following,

·                     Written and any oral representations by all the parties. This included the viewing of a video titled ‘Spice Rack Customers’ that was a late submission by representatives of Elm Park Residents’ Association. The video purported to show the behaviour of individuals and the disturbance being caused to residents of Elm Park, which the applicant’s representative did not object to but considered to be irrelevant to the application. The Panel agreed the video was not relevant as it purported to relate to customers of other premises;
