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 local Pubwatch so long as it exists.
All staff will have received drugs awareness training and will adhere to company policy on this issue. Training will be given to staff in crime prevention methods.
Risk assessment has determined that door supervisors are not required.
PUBLIC SAFETY OBJECTIVES
Based on the nature of the business, our fire risk assessment, seating capacity and available exits and emergency procedures identify no risk of crowding.
A full risk assessment has been undertaken relating to fire, health and safety and food safety and external auditing companies are used on a regular basis.
THE PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE OBJECTIVES
Live music will end at 0000, except on occasions of non-standard timings.
Live music will be restricted to a maximum of 24 occasions in any one calendar year.
Recorded music will end at 0030 on Monday to Saturday and 0000 on Sundays except on occasions of non-standard timings.
The 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 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.
