Decision:

That in respect of the application for a Review of a Premises Licence of Jackz Bar, Parkham Road, Brixham, Members resolved to modify the conditions of the premises licence to include the conditions proposed by the Police and Public Protection Officers, as agreed by the Respondent, Premises Licence Holder, along with the following two conditions:

1)    That Mr Ross Hennessey be prohibited from entering the premises during operational hours.

2)    That Mr Ross Hennessey shall not be involved in or influence the operation of these premises; and

That the premises licence shall be suspended until 7 January 2022.

Reasons for Decision

In coming to this decision, Members had careful regard to all the written and oral representations from both the Respondent, Premises Licence Holder and the two Responsible Authorities, namely, the Police and Public Protection.

Members noted the Respondent, Premises Licence Holder’s acceptance in full of the proposed conditions put forward by the Police and the Public Protection Officers and were satisfied on the evidence before them, that these were both appropriate and proportionate.

In respect of the two additional conditions which prohibit Mr Ross Hennessey from entering the premises during operational hours, and from having any involvement or influence in these premises’ operations, Members determined this was again both necessary and proportionate, to enable the new Premise Licence Holder, Ms Stephanie Trust, an employee of Mr Hennessey, the opportunity to operate the Premises without influence or interference by him which ensured that the conditions of the premises were complied with and that the Licensing Objectives would be promoted.

In determining this, Members noted that Mr Hennessey had applied for a transfer of the premises licence to himself in respect of these premises and that at a Licensing Sub-Committee hearing held on the 24 June 2021, Members of that Committee unanimously resolved to refuse this application, following an objection by the Police, coupled with determining at an earlier hearing that same day, that Mr Hennessey’s Premises Licence  ...  view the full minutes text for item 26.
