Minutes:

The Hearing Panel considered a report of the Head of Planning, Building Control and Licensing regarding an application for a new premises licence.  The hearing Panel noted that agreements had been reached with the Responsible Authorities, however local residents had submitted representations to the application, some of whom attended the hearing.

 

The Applicant advised the Hearing Panel that the venue would be a cocktail bar playing background music on the ground floor and the basement will be a space to host events.
