• CONDITIONS FOLLOWING HEARING

   

  1. Outdoor events with live and recorded music shall comply with Clause 3.3 of the   Council's Policy for the avoidance of Public Nuisance.

   

                3.3 The Licensee shall ensure that the volume of noise due to music and

                       singing and fixed plant and equipment shall be so controlled by the

                     licensee so as not to give reasonable cause for annoyance. 

                       Notwithstanding the above, any noise shal not be audible within any

                     noise sensitive premises.

   

  Where this has been breached, the licensee will review the noise control measures that are in place and implement a revised scheme that has been agreed with the Licensing Authority.

   

  2.  Certain types of events may be considered major events.  Major events are deemed to be those events which might breach Clause 3.3, such as Pop Concerts, Dances and Disco's,  and are expected to attract large numbers of people.  It is not the Council's intention to prevent such events altogether and therefore the following conditions shall apply to major Events.

   

                2.1  The number of Major Events per year shall not exceed four.

   

                2.2  The date and start time of each Major Event shall be notified to

                      the Council at least seven days in advance of each event.

                      and recorded music, shall not exceed 65dBA at the boundary of the

                        nearest noise sensitive premises.

   

                2.4  A major Event shall cease no more than four hours after the start time

                       notified in Clause 2.2 above but must comply with Clause 2.5 below.

   

                2.5  Live or recorded music shall not be audible at the boundary of any

                     noise sensitive premises after 23:00 hours Monday to Saturday, or after

                       22:30 hours on a Sunday.
