Decision:

 

That the Premises Licence for The Old Coaching Inn, 61 Fore Street, Brixham, be modified as follows:

 

1)    A minimum of one SIA licensed door supervisor shall be employed at the premises on a Friday and Saturday from 21:00 hours until all patrons have left the immediate vicinity of the premises on closing.

 

At all other times, the Premise Licence Holder or Designated Premises Supervisor will risk assess the need for SIA licensed door supervisors, based on anticipated patron numbers and employ SIA licensed door supervisors at such times as deemed necessary by the risk assessment.

 

2)    An alcohol sales refusal register shall be kept at the premises and be maintained to include details of all alcohol sales refused.  The register will include:

 

·         The reason for refusal

·         Details of the person refusing the sale

·         Description of the patron being refused

·         Any other relevant observation

 

The refusals register will be made available for inspection and copying on request of an authorised officer of a Responsible Authority. 

 

In addition, Members resolved to remove the current Designated Premises Supervisor of the premises known as The Old Coaching Inn, 61 Fore Street, Brixham, with immediate effect.

 

 

Reasons for decision

 

Having carefully considered all the written and oral representations, Members unanimously resolved to modify the premises license by adding the two conditions and to remove the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) with immediate effect, as they were satisfied on the evidence before them that such modification and removal was appropriate and would alleviate the concerns raised by the Applicant and the Police, and in turn, seek to ensure that the premises future operation would promote the Licensing Objectives.
