Decision –

That the application for a Premises Licence in respect of the Jetty, 12 Victoria Parade, Torquay, TQ1 2BB be approved as applied for, subject to the conditions proposed by the Police and agreed by the Applicant, and that condition two of the Police’s proposed conditions shall be amended to read as follows:

‘Signage outlining the permitted hours for all licensable activities, consumption of alcohol not being permitted within Public Space Protection Order and the opening hours of the premises shall be prominently displayed at the premises entrance and exit’; and

Licensable activities in respect of late-night refreshment shall be removed from the application.

Reasoning –

Having carefully considered all the written and oral Representations, Members were satisfied that the proposed additional conditions alleviated the concerns of the Police and in turn, would ensure that these premises operations, upheld the Licensing Objectives.

Licensable activities in respect of late-night refreshment were removed from the application, following acceptance by the Applicant that late-night refreshment will cease at 10.30pm which removed the need for this activity to be licensed.

Should issues arise as a result of this grant, Members noted that a Review of this premises licence can be sought by any Interested party or Responsible Authority.
