Minutes:

Consideration was given to an application (made in accordance with Section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003) for the grant of a Premises Licence at Valentines, Unit 1 Atlas Court, Brinsworth, Rotherham S60  5DL.

 

The applicants, Mr. C. Valentine and Mrs. S. Valentine, were seeking authorisation to allow the sale of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises on every day of the week between 0930 hours and 2130 hours as well as the provision of live and recorded music (inside) on every day of the week between 0800 hours and 2200 hours.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Valentine were present at the hearing.

 

It was noted that a licence was not required for the playing of live or recorded music if a premises had an alcohol licence subject to certain criteria.  Any condition attached to a licence referring to the playing of live or recorded music would not come into force between 08.0 hours and after 23.0 hours as it was unlicensable during those hours.

 

Consultation on the application had been carried out in accordance with all statutory requirements and the Council procedure.  During the consultation period one objection had been received from a local resident citing concerns regarding the level of noise created by the activities taking place at the premises.  The applicant had responded to the representation.
