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.
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 Petersfield Pub watch so long as it exists.
Contact numbers for local taxis will be prominently displayed to enable customers to disperse easily and quietly at the end of trading hours.
PUBLIC SAFETY OBJECTIVES
Function bookings in the function room will be limited to 60 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. At such times the Designated Premises Supervisor will agree in advance with the police the most effective means for control of numbers and behaviour, depending on the circumstances. My risk assessment identifies no other risk of crowding.
THE PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE OBJECTIVES
Live music will end at no later than 2300, except on New Years Eve and New Years Day.
Recorded music will end no later than 0100, except on New Years Eve and New Years Day. The volume will be reduced to background level during the wind down period to create a mood change.
Live music will be staged only in the lounge bar and the function room.
A notice will be placed prominently at the exits asking customers to leave quietly.
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 to children have been identified.
