Page 44
1.2 The Act provides that a variation, in relation to a Premises Licence, means any variation of: 1.2.1 any of the conditions to which the licence is subject (other than the Statutory Conditions); 1.2.2 any of the information contained in the operating plan contained in the licence; 1.2.3 the layout plan contained in the licence; or 1.2.4 any other information contained or referred to in the licence, and includes an addition, deletion or modification. 1.3 If the variation sought is a minor variation, then the variation must be granted, and powers have been delegated to the Clerk to approve these minor variation applications. Minor variations are: 1.3.1 any variation of the layout plan, if the variation does not result in an inconsistency with the operating plan; 1.3.2 where, under the operating plan contained in the licence, children or young persons are allowed entry to the premises, any variation reflecting any restriction or proposed restriction of the terms on which they are allowed entry to the premises; 1.3.3 any variation of the information contained in the licence relating to the premises manager (including a variation so as to substitute a new premises manager); and 1.3.4 any other variation of such description as may be prescribed. 1.4 Section 30 of the Act provides that if the variation(s) being sought are not minor, the Licensing Board must hold a hearing to determine the application. The Board must, in considering and determining the application, consider whether any of the grounds for refusal apply and 1.4.1 if none of them apply, the Licensing Board must grant the application, or 1.4.2 if any of them apply, the Licensing Board must refuse the application. 1.5 The grounds for refusal are: 1.5.1 that the application must be refused under Section 32(2) of the Act (the Licensing Board had previously refused an application for the same variation of the premises licence within the preceding one year), Section 64(2) of the Act (alcohol would be sold for a continuous period of 24 hours from the premises, unless there are exceptional circumstances which justify allowing the sale of alcohol on the premises during such a period), or Section 65(3) of the Act (if alcohol is to be sold for off sales purposes before 10am or after 10pm, or both); 1.5.2 that the Licensing Board considers that the granting of the application would be inconsistent with one or more of the licensing objectives, 1.5.3 that having regard to: 1.5.3.1 the nature of the activities carried on or proposed to be carried on in the subject premises; Page 44 of 110
Page 45
1.5.3.2 the location, character and condition of the premises; and 1.5.3.3 the persons likely to frequent the premises, the Board considers that the premises are unsuitable for use for the sale of alcohol in accordance with the proposed variation, 1.5.4 that, the Licensing Board considers that, if the application were to be granted, there would, as a result, be overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of the same or similar description as the subject premises (taking account of the proposed variation), in the locality. 1.6 Where the Licensing Board grants the application, the Board may make a variation of the conditions to which the licence is subject. 1.7 Where the Licensing Board refuses the application, the Licensing Board must specify the ground for refusal and if the ground relates to a licensing objective, the Licensing Board must specify the objective or objectives in question. 1.7.1 The licensing objectives are: 1.7.1.1 preventing crime and disorder, 1.7.1.2 securing public safety, 1.7.1.3 preventing public nuisance, 1.7.1.4 protecting and improving public health, and 1.7.1.5 protecting children and young persons from harm. 2.

Date: 21st November 2025 Dear Sir/Madam LICENSING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 APPLICATION TO VARY PREMISES LICENCE PREMISES: The Cottage, 13 High Street, Newarthill ML1 5JU Thank you for notification of the above application. We have considered this application and are concerned about the alcohol provision and harms in this area and specifically how increasing off sales of alcohol through off sales and home deliveries may further contribute to these harms. We are also concerned about the visibility of alcohol to children, young people and those in recovery. Alcohol outlet density and alcohol related harms As noted by the World Health Organisationi, one of the most effective options for reducing alcohol harms is to restrict the availability of retailed alcoholii and data suggests purchasing alcohol for off sales consumption is a main factor in driving alcohol harms from unregulated consumption, due to the high volume of alcohol sold via off sales compared to on sales.iii Based on the most recently published data availableiv, the intermediate datazone of Newarthill already has a high provision of alcohol outlets and is in the highest 20% for off sales density in Scotland (number of outlets per 1000 population). A previous Scottish level study suggests a relationship between alcohol outlet density within an area and alcohol-related health harm. The relationships between availability and harm were found even when other possible explanatory factors, such as age, sex, urban/rural status and levels of income deprivation, had been taken into account. v Within the vicinity of this premise, there are a range of premises where alcohol can be purchased including: Day Today, a 6-minute walk (0.3 miles), USave, 4-minute walk (0.2 miles); Popin stores, 4-minute walk (0.2 miles); Shahzad stores, 12-minute walk (0.6 miles); Morrison’s Daily, 12 min walk (0.6 miles).

Page 64
In terms of alcohol harms, across Scotland and North Lanarkshire, 20% of the adult population self-report as drinking alcohol to hazardous or harmful levels.vi Figure 1 outlines the trend in alcohol-related hospital admissions for the Newarthill intermediate datazone and Motherwell locality compared to Scotland. The rate of admissions per 100,000 population for this IDZ for the most recent year is 724.3 (CI 453.2-1094.8) whilst the Motherwell rate is 716.2 (645.5-792.4) compared to a Scotland rate of 548.5 (542.2-554.8). The Motherwell area has consistently had a higher rate of hospital admissions than Scotland in recent years. Figure 1 Alcohol-related hospital admissions Source: ScotPHO profiles Data demonstrates that there are some groups disproportionately affected by alcohol- related harms in terms of both morbidity and mortality. Those from areas of deprivation are five times more likely to be admitted to hospital for alcohol-related issues (see Figure 2).viii The datazone of Newarthill is in the 20% most deprived in Scotland. A key priority for improving the health of the population is the need for targeted approaches which will reduce inequalities in health outcomes. Figure 2 Page 64 of 110

From: To: LicensingBoard Mailbox Cc: Subject: Objection to license Date: 25 November 2025 13:45:30 Attachments: shield-advisory.png chevron-light.png External email Dear Sir/ Madam, I am emailing regarding The Cottage at 13 High Street, Newarthill ML15JU - formally a pub, now converting into a store with a premises licence. We're objecting to the license. There are multiple stores on High Street that already serve alcohol, all within a short distance of one another. As the store will have new owners, we are concerned that underage children will attempt to buy alcohol from the store, as they will be unknown to the store staff. This is an issue previously faced in Newarthill; however, as the existing store owners have been around for a while, they are now members of the community and can recognise underage individuals immediately. The store opening is increasing the number of places to purchase alcohol in the community. There are already approximately 6 stores selling alcohol in Newarthill, a village which is very small in itself. We feel that an additional store selling alcohol is promoting unhealthy behaviours to our community. Thank you for taking the time to listen to our concerns. Page 68 of 110

Background 1.1 In terms of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”), an annual fee is payable for each premises licence. The fee becomes due on 1 October each year. 1.2 The Licensing Board is required to give notification of the annual fee payment to the licence holder. Payment of the annual fee is a mandatory condition attached to a premises licence and therefore non-payment is a breach of that condition. 1.3 The Act provides that the Licensing Board, on its own initiative, can propose to review a premises licence on any of the grounds for review. Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to advise members of the non-payment of Annual Premises Licence Fees under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) as detailed in the Appendix A to this Report. Recommendations It is recommended that the Licensing Board consider and determine: 1. To review the premises licence (“a premises licence review proposal”) in respect of each of the premises detailed in the attached Appendix A; 2. To specify that the ground to be contained within the premises licence review proposal is that one or more of the conditions to which the premises licence is subject has been breached and that the condition alleged to have been breached is that the licence holders detailed in the attached Appendix A have failed to pay their annual fee; 3. To fix a Review Hearing date within 42 days of the decision to make the proposal in respect of each of those premises; and 4. To agree that any Review Hearing be cancelled should the outstanding fees be paid prior to the Hearing. Item 5 Page 103 of 110

2. Report 2.1 Paragraph 10 of Schedule 3 of the 2005 Act makes it a mandatory condition applicable to all premises licences that the fee must be paid as required by the Licensing Fees (Scotland) Regulations 2007. The Regulations provide for the fee being an annual fee and specifies the amounts due by different types of premises. 2.2 The Regulations specify that the first annual fee is due within 30 days after the date on which the licence takes effect. The Regulations further specify that the subsequent annual fees are due on 1 October each year, or where that date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, on the immediate following Monday. 2.3 Despite reminders for payment being issued to the licence holders, the annual fees in respect of each of the licensed premises detailed in Appendix A have not been paid. 2.4 Under section 37(1) of the 2005 Act, the Licensing Board may, on its own initiative, propose to review a premise licence on any of the grounds for review. The grounds for the Licensing Board making such a premises review proposal are under section 36(3): za) that, having regard to the licensing objectives, the licence holder is not a fit and proper person to be the holder of a premises licence; a) that one or more of the conditions to which the premises licence is subject has been breached; or b) any other ground relevant to one or more of the licensing objectives. 2.5 Under section 37(1) of the 2005 Act, a premises licence review proposal must specify the alleged ground for review, including in particular:- za) where the ground is that specified in za) above, a summary of the information on which the Licensing Board’s view that the alleged ground applies is based a) where the ground is that specified in a) above, the condition or conditions alleged to have been breached b) where the ground is that specified in b) above, the licensing objective to which the ground of review relates. 2.6 In respect of the premises detailed in Appendix A, it is recommended that the condition alleged to have been breached is that the licence holders have failed to pay their annual fee and that the Licensing Board ought to specify this in making a premises review proposal. 2.7 In making the premises review proposal, the Licensing Board may include in the proposal any information that the Licensing Board considers may be relevant to their consideration of the alleged ground for review, including, in particular, information in relation to: - 2.7.1 the licence holder, 2.7.2 where the licence holder is neither an individual or a Council, a connected person in relation to the licence holder, or Page 104 of 110
Page 105
2.7.3 any person who is an interested party in relation to the licensed premises. 2.8 If the Licensing Board decides to make a premises review proposal, they should be aware that the Review Hearing must take place within 42 days from the date they make the proposal in line with the Licensing Procedure (Scotland) Regulations 2007. 2.9 The Licensing Board is requested to determine to agree to make a premises licence review proposal in respect of the premises detailed in Appendix A, to specify the ground for review as being failure to pay the annual fee and to fix a Review Hearing within 42 days of the decision to make the proposal. The Licensing Board is asked to agree that any hearing be cancelled should the outstanding fees be paid prior to the Hearing. 3. Measures of success 3.1 Determining that a premises review proposal in respect of the premises detailed in Appendix A and specifying the ground for review as being failure to pay the annual fee and addressing this ensures continues compliance with the licensing legislation. 4.
