Decision

That the application for a Premise Licence in respect of Beverley Park, Goodrington Road, Paignton be approved, as applied for.

Reason for Decision

Having carefully considered all the written and oral representations, Members resolved to grant the application having been reassured that the new application mirrored the existing Premises Licence provisions, except for the additional one hour opening time.

In coming to this decision, Members noted that the only licensable activity applied for during this additional hour, was the provision of late night refreshment which in their opinion, would not increase any risk of crime and disorder, public safety and/or public nuisance.

Members were further reassured by the oral confirmation at the Hearing from the Licensing Authority’s Public Protection Officer, in that they had not received any complaints in respect of these premises over the last 10 years and that should issues of concern arise, the Officer had every confidence that the premises management would engage with the Authority to resolve this.

In concluding, Members noted the absence of Representations from any of the Responsible Authorities and that should issues of concern arise as a result of granting this application, a Review of the Premises Licence could be called.
