ANNEX 3 - LICENSING OBJECTIVES
GENERAL LICENSING OBJECTIVES
The types of regulated entertainments proposed firstly re-instate normal pub and family facilities and entertainments that were previously unregulated. Then facilities for live and recorded music, dancing and voice are proposed in support of bookings, events and the core business of a pub.
Staff will be trained on the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003 when they are recruited and given training in "drugs awareness" as part of their induction.
No new steps have been identified in relation to the four licensing objectives, except as below.
I have considered the terms of your local Licensing Policy in preparing this application.
THE PREVENTION OF CRIME AND DISORDER OBJECTIVES
Providing a 60 minute extension of opening hours after the end of the sale of alcohol, with continued sale of refreshments will promote gradual and orderly dispersal of customers.
A personal licence holder or responsible person will be present on the premises whenever they are trading after 0000.
The Designated Premises Supervisor will be a member of the British Institute of Innkeeping.
PUBLIC SAFETY OBJECTIVES
Function bookings will be limited to 80 persons.
My Risk Assessment identifies no risk of crowding.
THE PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE OBJECTIVES
Live music will end at 2300 except on New Years Eve and New Years Day.
Live music will be staged only in the bar.
Recorded music indoors will end at 0100 except on New Years Eve and New Years Day.
Recorded music volume will be reduced to background level during the wind down period to create a mood change.
A notice will be placed prominently at the exits asking customers to leave quietly.
Kitchen extract filters will be cleaned regularly to minimise the impact of cooking smells on neighbours.
THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN FROM HARM OBJECTIVES
The restrictions set out in the Licensing Act 2003 will apply, but children will be permitted on the premises between 0000 and 0700 as bona fide residents in the letting rooms.
Photographic proof of age will be required to be shown by anyone seeking to purchase alcohol who appears to be under 20 years of age.
AWP machines and cigarette machines will be sited in areas that are visible to staff to ensure that children do not have access to them.
No other risks of harm to children have been identified.
