Additional documents: Minutes: The Director of Environment and Community Services had circulated a report outlining an application for a Premises Licence in relation to 31-33 Saltersgill Avenue, Middlesbrough, TS4 3LD, Ref No: PR0149, as follows:- Summary of Licensable
Activities and Hours requested Sale of Alcohol (Off Sales) – 9.00am to 10.00pm daily. Full details of the Premises Licence application and accompanying operating schedule were attached at Appendix 1. Two representations had been made in response to the application – a local business owner and a local Ward Councillor. At the commencement of the meeting, it was noted that the Ward Councillor was not in attendance despite her indication that she would attend. The Chair adjourned the meeting for a period of 20 minutes in order for the Democratic Services Officer to make enquiries as to whether the Councillor still intended to attend. The Democratic Services Officer made enquiries and returned to advise the Committee that the Councillor had stated that she had not received an agenda pack but that she wished to attend. The Committee subsequently agreed that a further adjournment for a period of one hour be made to allow the Ward Councillor time to attend and the Ward Councillor was advised accordingly. At 11.20am, the meeting reconvened. The Chair opened the meeting and highlighted the Council’s fire evacuation procedure, should the fire alarm sound. The Chair explained, under Regulation 20 of the Licensing Act (Hearings) Regulations 2005, the reasons for the adjournment. The Ward Councillor, who was now in attendance at the meeting, subsequently requested a further adjournment of 24 hours in order for the objectors to read through the agenda pack. The applicant’s representative advised that neither he nor the applicant would be available to attend a reconvened hearing in 24 hours. The Committee retired to consider the request and all parties other than officers of Legal and Democratic Services left the meeting. All parties subsequently returned and the Chair announced the Committee’s decision to adjourn the meeting until 1.00pm which should provide sufficient time for the objectors to read the report and the information in relation to the conditions agreed between the applicant, Police, Public Health and Trading Standards – contained at pages 34 to 36 of the pack – including a reduction in the requested hours of sale from 7.00am – 11pm daily to 9.00am – 10.00pm daily. At this point in the meeting, the applicant’s representative requested that the meeting be adjourned to a new date, after 22 October 2025, and explained that he had other commitments which would require the meeting to finish before 1.00pm. In view of the information provided, the Chair and Members of the Sub Committee considered that it was not feasible to proceed with the meeting and that it should be adjourned to a new date and time to be advised. ORDERED that the meeting be adjourned to a date and time to be agreed, as follows:- The Committee decided to adjourn the Hearing and extend time until a date to be ... view the full minutes text for item 25/2 |
