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.
Prevention of Crime and Disorder Objectives
Providing a 60 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. A personal licence holder or responsible person will be present on the premises whenever they are trading after 2300 hours. The Designated Premises Supervisor will be a member of the British Institute of Inn Keeping.
Public Safety Objectives
Function bookings will be limited to 100 persons. My risk assessment identifies no risk of crowding.
Prevention of Public Nuisance Objectives
Live music will end at 00.00 except on New Years Eve and New Years Day and Bank Holidays. Live or recorded music in the garden will end at or before 22.00. Recorded music indoors will end at 01.00 except on New Years Eve and New Years Day and Bank Holidays. Recorded music volume will be reduced to background level during wind down period to create a mood change. A notice will be placed prominently at the exits asking customers to leave quietly. Kitchen extract filters will be cleaned regularly 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 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.
