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 by risk assessment in relation to the four licensing objectives, except as below.
We have considered the terms of your local licensing policy in preparing this application.
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. No entry or re-entry after 2300. The designated premises supervisor is a member of the Petersfield Pubwatch so long as it exists. CCTV has been in place for the last 2 years and will remain.
PUBLIC SAFETY OBJECTIVES
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 60. My risk assessment identifies no other risk of crowding.
THE PREVENTION OF PUBLIC NUISANCE OBJECTIVES
It is our intention to continue to run the Royal Oak as we have done for the last 3 years in a fare but firm manner in relation to the consumption of alcohol and behaviour of our customers on and off the premises.
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 that appears to be under 20 years of age. No unusual risks of harm to children have been identified. In relationship to the harm to children it is intended to continue our policy of no children under the age of eighteen after 7pm on any night.
