Application Notes:
Members are somewhat confused as to what the applicant is requesting. It would suggest that the applicant is not only requesting extensions to trading outside until 2.00am but also there shall no longer be any requirement to remove the furniture outside licensable times. Members do not see that parity with a neighbouring premise is justifiable reason for extension of licensable hours. This premise is nearer the town centre where there is an established precedence for earlier closing. In the interests of residential amenity (of which there is a greater concentration of residencies nearer to this premise than the neighbouring premise the applicant refers) all activity outside should cease at 10.00pm in line with the existing permission. Members also see that given the location on a busy footway with bus stops in the vicinity it is not unreasonable in the interests of highway safety that those tables and chairs be put away. This application would however need to be tied with application 16/00370/VAR so as not to conflict with hours of operation.
