Representative from Devon & Cornwall Police

The Representative from Devon & Cornwall Police outlined the Police’s representation and responded to Members’ questions.

Public Protection Officer

The Public Protection Officer outlined his representation and responded to Members’ questions.

 

In light of the Applicants proposed changes and the subsequent oral representation from the Responsible Authorities which highlighted their concerns in respect of the lack of notification or opportunity to consider the impact of these changes, the Chairman adjourned the meeting to determine whether the hearing should be adjourned to a later date to enable the Responsible Authorities sufficient time to consider and respond to that now being put forward by the Applicants.

 

Decision:

 

That the application for a premises licence in respect of Gio’s Bar, 18 Esplanade Road, Paignton shall be deferred until 23 November 2017.  

 

Reasons for decision:

 

Following significant proposed changes to the application by the Applicants and the subsequent oral representations from the Responsible Authorities, Members resolved that they were unable at this stage to make an informed determination on this application which ensured that the Licensing Objectives would be promoted.

 

At this juncture the meeting was adjourned until Thursday 23 November 2017.

 

Members of the public who attended the hearing were thanked for their attendance and assured of the purpose for this adjournment.
