ANNEX 3
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 by risk assessment in relation to the four licensing objectives, except as below.
I have considered the terms of your local licensing policy in preparing this application.
Prevention of Crime and Disorder
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 a more orderly egress.
The DPS will be a member of the local Pubwatch so long as it exists.
Not less than five working days written notice will be provided to Police, if they require it, when the premises will be open outside normal permitted for recognised international televised sporting events.
Public Safety Objectives
My risk assessment identifies no risk of overcrowding.
Prevention of Public Nuisance Objectives
Live music will end 1 hour prior to the end of permitted hours for the sale of alcohol. Recorded music will be reduced to background level 30 minutes prior to the end of permitted hours for the sale of alcohol to create a mood change.
All windows will be kept closed after 23.00.
The beer garden will be closed at 22.30.
Kitchen extract filters will be cleaned at least once a week to minimise the impact of cooking smells on neighbours.
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 20 years of age.
Persons under the age of 18 will not be permitted on the premises after 21.00 except for a seated meal or a pre-booked bona-fide function.
No unusual risks of harm to children have been identified.
