That the an application for a Premises Licence in respect of Krates Ltd, Unit 4, Longpark, 163 Newton Road, Torquay TQ2 7AL be granted as applied for, subject to the agreed position reached by both parties and that Condition 1 proposed by the Police will not be added to the Premises Licence.

Reason for Decision:

Having carefully considered all the written and oral representations, Members resolved to grant the Licence in the manner that they had, having been satisfied that the previous 2 year trade by the Company has not resulted in the issues or concerns raised by the Police and therefore, Condition 1,sought by the Police was in their view not appropriate and on hearing from all parties present would be difficult to enforce given the nature of the business.
