• LICENSING SUB COMMITTEE 21st February 2012 - NOTICE OF DETERMINATION

   

  RESOLVED:

   

  Having regard to the Licensing Act 2003 and the guidance thereunder; the Council’s Licensing Policy statement and the representations made, the following decision was reached:

   

  The Sub Committee thanked all of the participants for attending the Licensing Sub Committee Review of the Prince of Wales.

   

  It was noted for the record that the Prince of Wales had had sufficient notice of the hearing and that Mr Bampkin, the holder of the Premises Licence had been made aware of the hearing. No one from the Prince of Wales, nor any representative had attended.

   

  On a balance of probability the Sub Committee was satisfied that the current operation of the premises is not promoting the Licensing Objectives of the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance.

   

  Therefore the Sub Committee decided that it was appropriate and proportionate to revoke the premises licence from the Prince of Wales particularly given PC Bryan’s view that the current situation at the Prince of Wales cannot be redeemed.

   

  This decision takes effect 21 days after receipt of this notice.

   

  In the meantime the Sub Committee urged the Fire Officer to urgently review the public safety concerns at the premises and take whatever appropriate action thought necessary.

   

  This Notice Dated Wednesday 22nd February 2012
