OFFICIAL 17 April 2026 Our Ref: L/LIC Your Ref: The Clerk West Dunbartonshire Licensing Board Municipal Buildings College Street DUMBARTON G82 1NR Argyll & West Dunbartonshire ‘L’ Division Headquarters Stirling Road DUMBARTON G82 3PT Tel: Dear Sir LICENSING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005: SECTION 29 APPLICATION FOR VARIATION OF A PREMISES LICENCE APPLICANT: HBR (DUMBARTON) LTD PREMISES: LOMOND SPORTS BAR & KITCHEN, 127 COLLEGE STREET, DUMBARTON I have to inform you that the Chief Constable wishes to make the following representation in relation to the above application. The Chief Constable would seek clarification in terms of the outside area. The application states that no alcohol will be consumed outside after 10pm however also mentions that the outdoor drinking area will still be used outwith core hours. Due to neighbours living within a close proximity and due to recent noise complaints, Your Honours may wish to consider if an outside area for the hours requested are appropriate at this time. If the Board decide to grant an outdoor area, Police Scotland would seek that the supplemental conditions for outdoor areas, which the Board have agreed on for similar premises, be added to this licence. These conditions relate to capacity levels, removal of furniture, delineation, staff supervision and noise. This is being requested due to the close proximity of the entrance to residential flats above the premises and also due to the area being a thoroughfare for commuters to and from the train station. Your Honours will also be aware that the current operating plan and Question 3(b) of this variation application, there is mention that alcohol may be required at 9am for reasons such as club meetings. Your Honours may wish to clarify what the applicant defines as ‘club meetings' that would require alcohol at 9am. For example, does this include football club supporters meeting up before travelling to games either on the train or supporter’s bus. If so, a 9am commencement time for alcohol would be inappropriate for this type of activity.

OFFICIAL If your Honours are minded to include the 9am requirement for alcohol within the licence, the Chief Constable requests that a condition be added to the licence that any meetings or events with a commencement time of 10am or earlier, that the licence holder is expected to submit extended hours applications with an reasonable notice period (excluding funerals) to the Board. This representation is submitted for your attention in considering this application. Yours faithfully Gary I’Anson Divisional Commander
