• Licensing Conditions

  The proposed premises will be a safe environment, it being a state of the art Campus built with the needs and safety of the students in mind. Considerable investment has been put into planning the design and in the construction of the various buildings on the Campus (and areas of open land) with the Licensing Objectives( and other wider safety considerations) in mind. Accordingly there is extensive CCTV onthe Campus and initially there will be Police present on the Campus 24/7(which will continue(on a reducing scale) for next 5 years).

   

  The Licensing facilities(involving catering/the supply of alcohol and late night refreshment) listed in the Schedule (and provided elsewhere on the Campus) will be provided by experienced commercial caterers. The applicaant has entered into a contract for the supply of those services with CH & Co whch enjoys an excellent record in terms of the provision of licensed facilities at numerous venues across the country.

   

  Sample menus are provided to demonstrate the type of catering that will be on offer in the Waterside Restaurant.The price point of any alcohol is unlikely to be attractive to student population, the focus of the Restaurant being more the general public including those living and working nearby, as well as staff and/or visitors to the University. CH&Co offer full training to their staff regarding general licensing law and the responsible sale of alcohol.

   

  The caterers will operate:

  1.              Challenge 21

  2.              Log books (for refusals;alcohol related incidents); training register for staff.

  3.              A sensible approach to staffing the 'Premises' when alcohol is to be provided. Much will depend on the occasion but for the 'business as usual' operation (in the Waterside Restaurant,Sunley Hotel and the Thread Bar) there are likely to be a minimum of 8 managers/supervisors working across the Campus. At functions, depending on the nature of it, the profile of the guests etc.. manager/supervisor/staffing will be scaled up appropriately.

   

  The Premises will be a highly regulated environment to accomodate and to teach students and to provide a working environment for all, in safe secure premises.

   

  Any licensable activities will be conducted in a manner so as not to cause disturbance to those staying in student accomodation, in the Hotel or in the vicinity, or to students/others studying or working nearby.

   

  The profile of those who are likely to be on the Campus is typically likely to be over 18 year olds studying at the University. However the Applicant appreciates that the Campus will be open to all and under 18 year olds may visit the Campus and areas within it including the Waterside Restaurant,Sunley Hotel and other areas. Challenge 21  will be operated at all times that alcohol is available. 

   

  Police Conditions

  A fully working and maintained CCTV system capable of recording and storing images must be installed on the premises. The system must record at all times the premises is open to the public and images must be stored for a minimum of 28 days with date & time stamping. As a minimum this must cover all entry and exit points, both sides of all areas where the sale/supply of alcohol takes place.

   

  All recordings must be made available to an officer from a responsible authority upon reasonable request (meaning within 48 hours) and in line with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998.

   

  All staff involved in the retail of alcohol will be trained in relation to the law regarding its sale. This training must be completed prior to them being authorised to sell alcohol and refreshed every 12 months as a minimum.  A record of this training must be kept and maintained with a copy of the syllabus attached.  The recipient of the training must sign to state that they have received and understood the training and this should be dated. Training records must be kept on the premises at all times and made available to an officer from a responsible authority upon reasonable request.
