Licensing Standards Officers Report LICENSING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 “the 2005 Act” EXTENDED HOURS APPLICATION PREMISES: Stags Head, 116 Glasgow Road, Dumbarton G82 1JN PREMISES LICENCE HOLDER: Niall Hassard, Hassard Licensing Ltd on behalf of Stags Dumbarton Limited, 1 Stow Brae, Paisley PA1 2HF The applicants are applying for Extended Hours for an official after-party for the Dumbarton Rocks event. This event will see DJs throughout the extended hours period catering for those attending following the concert at Dumbarton FC. The applicants are requesting a 2am terminal hour rather than the current midnight on a Sunday evening. The Board may wish to consider the following paragraphs within their Statement of Licensing Policy; 27. Extended Hours Applications Special Events 27.1 The Licensing Board considers activities such as dances, discos and dinner dances, wedding receptions and parties where a disco or band is provided generally falls within the description of a special event or occasion to be catered for on the premises. Darts, dominos or pool competitions, karaoke evenings, parlour derbies or private parties where there is no significant entertainment are generally not considered to fall within the definition and there would be a presumption against granting any Extended Hours Applications in respect of such events. Hours 27.3 Other than during the festive period as defined within Section 26, or in relation to recognised events in the previous paragraph of this policy, the Licensing Board considers that it would be difficult for any application to justify the sale of alcohol earlier than 11 a.m. or after 3 a.m. other than in exceptional circumstances.
