AMENDMENT G

 

Moved: Councillor Victoria Mills

Seconded: Councillor Jane Salmon

 

That the report is amended to include additional recommendations to those made by the Licensing Committee as follows:

 

1.e) is deleted and replaced by:

 

e) A 30% reduction to the levy is given to premises licence holders in relation to on-trade premises that are in receipt of Small Business Rate Relief (as specified in Part III of the Local Government Finance Act 1988) and have a rateable value of £12,000 or less.

 

After 1.f), insert new point:

 

g) After 12 months from the commencement date of the Late Night Levy, the licencing committee will undertake a review of the levy, to include the possible introduction of a further reduction category for a best practice scheme.

 

Reasons

 

This reduction is only available to holders in relation to premises that supply alcohol for consumption on the premises, typically small public houses in the levy band A and a part of B.

 

There is further information not available to the Licensing Committee when their recommendations were made as follows:

 

That the premises in receipt of small business rate relief do not include the pleasure boats that are run by larger companies, or off-licensed premises.

 

Premises that choose to operate between midnight and 6am and have been identified as struggling business and already receive small business rate relief from the Council should also receive assistance from the Council in the form of a 30% reduction in the Late Night Levy.

 

There are twenty premises that currently fall into this category listed below:

 

The Grange

Black Horse

Rising Sun

La Bodeguita Cafe Bar

Crown and Anchor

New Saigon Restaurant & Bar

Champagne Bar & Lounge

Duke of Sussex

The Waverley Arms

The Beer Shop London Ltd

Artusi

White Men Can't Jerk / Prince of Peckham

The Olde Apple Tree

Mingles Restaurant

Stanley Arms Public House

Whelan's Free House

Jake Farey

The Gladstone

American Hot Pizza

Canterbury Arms

MozahAnx

Flying Dutchman

 

The reduction in funds received from the levy would amount to about £8,423 and should not substantially affect the viability of the levy in providing the night time economy Police and Council teams.
