Licensing Standards Officers Report LICENSING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 “the 2005 Act” PROVISIONAL PREMISES LICENCE APPLICATION PREMISES: Lucky Break Snooker Club, 26-30 Glasgow Road, Clydebank G81 1SE. PREMISES LICENCE HOLDER: John Rea and Frances Rea, as partners, residing at 22 Drumry Road, Clydebank, G81 2LL 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 IZ02 Clydebank Central inc. Dalmuir (part) & Whitecrook (part), which is a locality considered to be overprovided for in terms of alcohol provision. This application seeks to licence the premises until 2am the following day on a Friday to Sunday. This is contrary to the Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy which states: 32.2 For applications relating to premises licences where the consumption of alcohol is a main activity and significant entertainment facilities throughout the licensing 31 hours are not provided (on-sale hours), subject to paragraph 32.4, the Licensing Board considers that the commencement of the sale of alcohol shall ordinarily be: - no earlier than 11 a.m.; and no later than 12 midnight Sunday to Thursday and 1a.m. Friday and Saturday other than when an occasional extension is in place, and in accordance with paragraph 34 of this policy. The Licensing Board will recognise the importance of tourism in certain locations within the Licensing Board’s area and other determining factors such as the location of the licensed premises and may allow exceptions to this general rule. For the Licensing Boards information, this premises previously held a licence (WDLBPREM/0096) where the premises were licensed for the sale of alcohol until 2.am on a Friday to Sunday. If the Licensing Board are minded to grant the application, the Licensing Standards Officer recommends that the following licence conditions be applied to the licence: Part A – Children and Young Persons Access The holder of the premises licence must make sure that: - 1. Children are supervised at all times by an appropriate adult while on the licensed premises. 2. Children and Young Persons will only be permitted into licensed premises where the primary purpose of allowing them access is to consume a meal or ITEM 4

attend a private pre-booked function [or insert reason]. 3. No gaming and/or amusements with prizes machines are to be located in the part or parts of the licensed premises where children and young people are permitted. 4. In the case of events which are to be held exclusively for children, or children and young persons, such as a discotheque, adequate supervision and stewarding arrangements should be in place in relation to children attending the event. 5. Where televisions or video machines are intended to be used in areas where children are permitted, the programmes or video films must be of a type suitable for family and children’s viewing. 6. Toilets should be of a suitable type and standard for children. 7. When meals are sold within licensed premises, a children’s menu shall be available or the menu should clearly state that children’s portions are available. This would not be satisfied by the provision of for example soft drinks and snacks but would require to be of the plated food variety in addition to any form of sandwiches etc, which may be available. 8. Electrical sockets within the part of parts of the premises to which children have access should, when not in use, have plug caps thereon. 9. Where open fires or electrical or gas fires or radiators are within part or parts of the premises to which children have access, it is expected that such fires and radiators etc. will be securely guarded.
