Any Other Business Following the deadline for applying for Extended Hours and Occasional Licence Applications in respect of the FIFA World Cup, Mr Pollock gave the Board a brief update on the number of applications received. He confirmed that 57 Licensed Premises had submitted Applications for Extended Hours covering 336 separate dates. To date 22 applications have been processed and work on these is well underway. It is hoped that in the next few weeks, subject to satisfactory responses from the statutory consultees, we would be in a position to provide confirmation to licensees and issue licences. All applications received have been vetted and are within the Board’s Policy. It was highlighted that only one premises who did not have Televised Sport within their Operating Plan had applied for an Extended Hours application. This was later withdrawn when they were advised that a Major Variation Application would require to be submitted and granted to allow the Extended Hours Application to proceed. To date there has been no late applications submitted however we are aware of a situation involving a potential Premises Licence transferee who is not yet able to submit such an application. In relation to Occasional Licences, no applications have been received to date however there has been an enquiry that is currently with Community Facilities as it would require the use of a Council run hall. The Convenor thanked the Licensing staff for the work put into processing these applications and noted that Premises Licence Holders will be keen to receive advance confirmation of Extended Hours licences so events can be advertised.

Agenda Item 3 29 April 2026 North Ayrshire Licensing Board Title: Applications for Licences and other matters arising under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. Purpose: To advise the Board of the Law and the factual background. Recommendation: That the Board determines the matters before it and takes such action as is competent in each case. 1. Executive Summary 1.1 The Licensing Board is responsible for determining Applications for Licences and other matters arising under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (such as Review Hearings involving holders of Premises Licences and Personal Licences). 1.2 The Board has approved a Scheme of Delegation whereby certain matters can be delegated to the Clerk and other licensing staff. Matters which cannot be delegated, or where the officers have declined to exercise the delegation, are referred to the Board. 2. Background 2.1 The Applications and other matters before the Board are detailed in the attached summaries. Each summary contains details of the application for each individual case before the Board. These summaries set out the particular factual and legal issues which the Clerk considers arise in each case. 2.2 Where relevant, any reports have been copied to the Applicants or Licence- Holders. Where objections or representations are competent, these have been copied to the Applicant so that a response might be made at the Board Hearing. 3. Proposals 3.1 In each case, after considering the Application and after hearing any submissions for the Applicant and persons making objections or representations, the Board should determine each matter before it and decide whether to grant the application, where applicable, or otherwise take such action as is competent.

4. Implications/Socio-economic Duty Financial: There are possible financial implications in relation to any Licensing decision. Human Resources: None. Legal: There are possible legal implications in relation to any licensing decision. Many Board decisions may be appealed against, but not all, and not all parties to a case have a right of appeal. Equality/Socio- economic Duty: Equality Act 2010 imposes duties on the Council: Section 1(1) (“Public sector duty regarding socio- economic inequalities”): the Council: “must, when making decisions of a strategic nature about how to exercise its functions, have due regard to the desirability of exercising them in a way that is designed to reduce the inequalities of outcome which result from socio-economic disadvantage”. Section 149(1) (“Public sector equality duty”) the Council: “must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to- (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under [that Act]; (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a “Relevant Protected Characteristic” and persons who do not share it; (c) foster good relations between persons who share a “Relevant Protected Characteristic” and persons who do not share it.” The “Relevant Protected Characteristics” are age; disability; gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; and sexual orientation. The Clerk has considered these Duties in preparing this Report and any specific impacts will be evaluated where appropriate. Unless the Clerk advises the Board otherwise in a particular case, there are no significant impacts to be considered.

Climate Change and Carbon: None Key Priorities: North Ayrshire Council has priorities for "Communities and Local Democracy" and "Wellbeing" in the Council Plan 2023-2028. An effective licensing system, for example monitoring the ‘fit and proper’ status of licence- holders and the suitability of premises, helps achieve Strategic Aim-Wellbeing. Community Wealth Building: There are no Community Wealth Building issues. 5. Consultation 5.1 Consultation has taken place in line with statutory requirements. The requirements vary depending on the particular issue raised, and where appropriate these are detailed in the report for each case.

LSO BOARD REPORT LSO Comments Introduction The Chief Constable has made an application on the grounds that in terms of Section 36(3)(b) of the Act, on the grounds relevant to one or more of the licensing objectives as articulated at Section 4(1) of the 2005 Act, namely: Preventing Crime & Disorder and Securing Public Safety. Police Scotland have provided and outlined a very detailed description of recent events. LSO Compliance History An LSO inspection first took place on 8th October 2025. The most up to date licence paperwork was not available and an old version of the summary licence was on display. A follow up inspection letter was issued to the premises, and I returned once again to ensure both matters had been rectified. I can confirm that both matters were. As mentioned by Police Scotland, I had also been present at an intervention meeting between Ms Paterson (Premises Manager), Niall Hassard (solicitor rep for Frank Gibson), Mr Gibson (family representative for Frank Gibson, who was unable to attend), PC Guy Jenner (Police Service of Scotland Divisional Licensing) and Aileen Dempster (Divisional Licensing Staff). In what seemed to be a positive meeting, a further incident then followed that evening at the premises. Within this report, I will refrain from detailing the various incidents which have been reported as I believe this would be a case of duplicating. I will, therefore, continue to detail some further interactions I have had at the premises in terms of compliance. Continuing from the above-mentioned inspection and meeting, I then had various drop ins at the premises. These included to see how things were in general and some joint visits with PC Guy Jenner. During the most recent joint visit with PC Jenner, we visited the premises on Thursday 19th February 2026 to discover that an untrained member of staff was working at the premises and Subject Section 36: Premises Licence Review Premises THE FOUR SEASONS, 8 - 10 GREEN STREET, SALTCOATS, NORTH AYRSHIRE, KA21 5HQ Premises Licence Holder Frank Bernard Gibson Premises Licence Ref 0353 Date of Assessment Tuesday 2nd April 2026 Recommendation That the Board have regard to the information provided in reaching its decision in the Premises Licence Review CASE 1

LSO BOARD REPORT serving alcohol. At that time, she was the only member of staff on the premises. As PC Jenner mentions, “For the safety of patrons, PC Jenner and Isaac Kerr remained in the area for two hours to ensure that alcohol was not served until a trained person was in place. That person was DPM Linda Paterson, who provided admissions that she had placed an untrained person in the pub due to her daughter, the bar staff member reportedly due to be working that day, having a hair appointment in Glasgow.” Following this incident, I wanted to ensure that staff training had been provided and training records completed. I was not content that training records were being kept in a neat and tidy fashion. In a letter to the Licence Holder on the 20th February, I explained the following, “It is the responsibility of the Premises Licence Holder to ensure that all staff are appropriately trained before being permitted to undertake the sale of alcohol. The failure to have suitably trained staff available created a clear breach risk and could have resulted in enforcement action. I was disappointed to find that such basic compliance measures were not in place, especially after I had conducted a licensing inspection in October 2025 and only found some minor issues which were promptly addressed. I will return to the premises on Monday evening, 23rd February 2026, to ensure that all licensing requirements are being properly adhered to and that all staff training records are fully up to date and available for inspection. Further to this, I have concerns that training records appear to have just been tippexed out and used again. Although I have already provided signage and other required documents for the licensing folder, I would be happy to work together and tidy up training records.” On the return visit, I was satisfied that staff training records were now of an acceptable standard and all staff had been accounted for. Conclusion The Board may, following a review, determine to take no action. However, if grounds are established, Section 39(2) of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 outlines the possible steps that could be taken. These are to: - issue a written warning, - vary the premises licence, - suspend the licence for such period as it considers appropriate, or - revoke the licence. Having regard to the information set out in this report, I make no specific recommendation as to the appropriate outcome. I invite the Board to have regard to the contents of this report in reaching its decision in relation to the premises licence review.

CASE 2 LSO BOARD REPORT Conclusion In terms of Section 84(6) of the abovementioned Act, the Board may, after giving the licence holder concerned and a representative from Police Scotland an opportunity to be heard at the hearing and if satisfied that it is necessary to do so for the purposes of any of the licensing objectives, make an order - (a) revoking the personal licence held by the licence holder concerned, (b) suspending the personal licence for such period, not exceeding 6 months, as the Board considers appropriate, or (c) endorsing the personal licence.
