Minutes:

4.1             The report of the Licensing and Systems Officer, circulated at Pages No. 1-54, outlined an application for a premises licence in respect of Emporium, High Street, Winchcombe.  The Licensing Sub-Committee was asked to determine the application, taking such steps, if any, as it considered appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives.

4.2             The Chairman asked all parties present to identify themselves and explained the procedure which would be followed by the Sub-Committee.  The Licensing and Systems Officer advised that the premises licence application sought permission for recorded music between the hours of 08:00 and 00:00 Sunday to Thursday and 08:00 and 02:00 on Friday and Saturday; late night refreshment between the hours of 23:00 and 00:00 Sunday to Thursday and 23:00 and 02:00 Friday and Saturday; and supply of alcohol between the hours of 10:00 and 00:00 Sunday to Thursday and 10:00 and 02:00 Friday and Saturday.  The application set out that the premises would be open to the public between 08:00 and 00:00 Sunday to Thursday and 08:00 and 02:00 Friday and Saturday.  The applicant had also applied for non-standard timings during National Hunt meetings at Cheltenham Racecourse with the opening time and sale of alcohol starting at 07:30 hours. The application was attached in full at Appendix A to the report.  Officers had drafted a number of conditions for inclusion on the licence if the application was granted.  The conditions were considered to be consistent with the steps the applicant intended to take to promote the licensing objectives, as identified in the Operating Schedule accompanying the application.  These conditions related to the installation of a CCTV system to be maintained in good working order; the protection of the premises by an alarm system to be maintained in good working order; staff being trained on general health and safety; signage being displayed asking patrons to leave quietly; the adoption of the Challenge 25, or equivalent scheme, so that any customer attempting to purchase alcohol who appeared to be under the age of 25 would be asked for an accredited photographic proof of their age, and that a sale would not be made unless that evidence was produced; and a refusal register being maintained on the premises to record details of any alcohol purchases refused by staff.  No other responsible authorities had made representations about the application, however, the applicant had agreed with Gloucestershire Constabulary to modify the application on the basis of sale of alcohol being between the hours of 10:00 and 23:00 Monday to Saturday and 10:00 and 22:30 on Sundays with non-standard timings between the hours of 07:30 and 02:00 during Bank Holiday weekends; Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day; New Year’s Eve; and Cheltenham race meetings scheduled for March and November.  The applicant’s agreement with the Police was attached at Appendix B to the report.
