Conditions

The operation of the premises under the licence shall be subject to relevant mandatory conditions, conditions derived from the operation schedule highlighted in Section M of the application form, the conditions conciliated with the police and the environmental protection team and the following additional conditions agreed by the sub-committee:

1.  That the premises licence shall not take effect until an application to the licensing authority is made and granted to remove arches 32 and 33 from the premises licence for “The Arches” 6 O’Meara Street (Premises Licence No. 837602).

2.  That the operating schedule referring to Challenge 21 be amended to read Challenge 25.

Reasons

The reasons for the decision are as follows:

The licensing sub-committee heard from the applicant who advised that they had conciliated with the ward councillor and the licensing officer representing the council as a responsible authority on the basis of the conditions listed above.

The ward councillor and the licensing officer representing the council as a responsible authority advised that they were satisfied that the conditions addressed their concerns and that they had now withdrawn their representations.

The licensing sub-committee were pleased that the parties had conciliated and were satisfied that the application did not add to the exiting cumulative impact for the Borough and Bankside area.

In reaching this decision the sub-committee had regard to all the relevant considerations and the four licensing objectives and considered that this decision was appropriate and proportionate.
