Licensing Standards Officers Report LICENSING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 PREMISES LICENCE VARIATION APPLICATION PREMISES: WDLBPREM/0316 Teamsport, 25 John Knox Street, Clydebank, G81 1NA PREMISES LICENCE HOLDER: Go Karting For Fun Limited, Teamsport, C1 Endeavour Place, Coxbridge Business Park Alton, Road, Farnham, Surrey, GU10 5EH, Company number 05030696 This application may be contrary to the Licensing Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy; Overprovision. The Premises are located within IZ 01 - Clydebank East inc. Whitecrook (part). The applicants have proposed a bespoke children’s access condition as follows; “Children and Young Persons will only be permitted into licensed premises where the primary purpose of allowing them access is for the participation in and/or spectating of karting and laser tag and/or to attend a private pre-booked function”. If such a condition or a condition of similar intent is acceptable to Board members I would recommend in accordance with the Licensing Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy that for the purposes of the licensing objective of protecting children and young persons from harm, that the conditions narrated in the Board's policy at Appendix 1, Part A – Children and Young Persons Access (undernoted) are considered by the Board for appending to the Licence. It is recommended that the proposed condition replaces condition 2 of the Board’s standard children conditions (undernoted). The Licensing Standards Officer also recommends that for the purpose of protecting the licensing objectives in general, that a local condition be applied to the effect that; “The premises licence is to operate only in accordance with an Alcohol Management Plan that has been agreed between the Licence Holder and the LSO.” The Licensing Standards Officer can confirm that a suitable Alcohol Management Plan has been submitted.
