The Licensing Standards Officer makes the following comments: This application may be contrary to the Licensing Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy; namely Part 4: - Overprovision. For the Boards information these premises are located within IZ15 which is an IZ considered to be overprovided for in terms of alcohol provision. Should the Licensing Board consider granting this application, the LSO recommends that the following licence conditions, as detailed in appendix 1 “Style Conditions” of the Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy should be applied; Part B - Off sales The holder of a premises licence shall ensure that:- 1. A refusal register is maintained in the premises recording all incidences of refused sales, including the date and time, the reason for refusal and the member of staff refusing the sale. 2. The refusal register is inspected by the Designated Premises Manager, or his nominated representative, at least on a fortnightly basis. 3. The refusal register is made available for inspection by the Police and Licensing Standards Officers on request. The refusal register may be kept in electronic form, in which event the obligation imposed by condition 3 above may be discharged by making available for inspection as aforesaid a printed copy of the refusal register’s entries. The Board may consider extending the terminal hour for off sale type premises up to 10pm provided that suitable enhanced control measures have been put in place to promote the licensing objectives. Enhanced control measures must include CCTV cameras covering the interior of the premises and the exterior area adjacent to the entrance to the premises. Given that a terminal hour of 10pm is sought then the board may wish to consider the CCTV condition.
