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.
There is a policy of no entry or re-entry after midnight to prevent persons from other establishments trying to continue drinking in this premises.
THE PREVENTION OF CRIME AND DISORDER OBJECTIVES
Providing a 30 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.
The Designated Premises Supervisor will be a member of the local Pubwatch so long as it exists.
PUBLIC SAFETY OBJECTIVES
Function bookings will be limited to 200 persons.
On certain occasions my risk assessment indicates a risk of crowding and, on those occasions, the capacity of the whole premises (including staff and performers) is not to exceed 200.
My risk assessment identifies no other risk of crowding.
THE PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE OBJECTIVES
Live music will end at 0000 except on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
Live or recorded music in the garden will end at or before 2300.
Recorded music indoors will end 0130 hours except on New Year's Eve and New Year's 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.
Either a payphone or a facility is made available for customers to call a taxi/private hire vehicle, and to display local company numbers. Doors and windows are to be kept closed after 2200 when live and compered music is playing, and that noise will not be audible within the nearest residence.
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 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 have been identified.
