ANNEX 3 - LICENSING OBJECTIVES
GENERAL LICENSING OBJECTIVES
The types of regulated entertainments proposed re-instate and then enhance the normal pub entertainments that were previously unregulated, with the benefit to enhance the local facilities for social entertainment and reduce the focus on alcohol.
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 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 will promote this objective as the last drink will be consumed less quickly, with access to the pubs toilet facilities and the provision of non-alcoholic refreshment during this period.
A personal licence holder or responsible person will be present on the premises whenever they are trading after 23.00 hours.
PUBLIC SAFETY OBJECTIVES
Function bookings will be limited to 50 persons indoors and 200 persons outdoors.
THE PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE OBJECTIVES
Live music will end at 23.00 except on New Year's Eve and New Year’s Day
Live or recorded music in the garden will end at or before 22.00
Live music will be staged only in the bar
Recorded music indoors will end at 01.00 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
The garden will be closed at or before 22.00
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
Photographic proof of age will be required to be shown by anyone seeking to purchase alcohol who appears to be under the age of 21 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 unusual risks of harm to children have been identified
Children under 16 will not be allowed on the premises after 00.00 hours
