Decision:
That the application for a variation to a Premises Licence in respect of Park Lane, 1 Torwood Street, Torquay be granted as applied for.
Reason for Decision:
Having carefully considered all the oral and written representations, Members resolved to grant the licence having been satisfied that historical concerns raised by either members of the public or the Responsible Authorities had been addressed by the Applicant and that by the Responsible Authorities oral submissions at the hearing, the Applicant has demonstrated a real willingness to operate his premises in harmony with nearby residents so as not to cause a nuisance.
In coming to that decision, Members noted the considerable and costly efforts made by the Applicant in structurally altering the premises to ensure that any potential noise outbreak emanating from his premises would not cause a nuisance to nearby residence.
Members further noted that the both the Police and Public Protection had not objected to this application and that the Applicant having consulted the Responsible Authorities prior to submitting his application, had taken on board their submissions which were reflected in the applications operating schedule.
In respect of increasing the capacity of patrons using the roof terrace from 80 to 100, Members gave careful consideration to how this could potentially impact nearby residence but resolved that there was no real increased risk, having heard from the Council’s Public Protection Officer.
When examining the intended use between this premise and the neighbouring premise, Members resolved that the internal door would in fact reduce the number of potential patrons from transferring on the street level and in doing so, would decrease noise levels previously experienced and complained of by members of the public present at the hearing.
In concluding Members noted that should issues arise and not be resolved as a result of granting this licence, members of the public and the Responsible Authorities would be able to review the premises licence.
