Following the recent history of non-annual fee payment the Licensing Board suspended the Premises Licence following the non-payment of the Annual Fee due by 1 October 2021 at the meeting of the Licensing Board which took place on Tuesday, 15 February 2022. Current position The LSO is now able to update that at the current date the premises have failed to pay the annual fee due by 1 October 2022. A Section 14 notice was served on 14 December 2022. Following a failure to comply with the aforementioned notice, a review application has been submitted in relation to this matter. The Licence Holder has failed to make contact with the Licensing Team despite multiple requests to do so. At its meeting on 7 March 2023, the Board considered the review application. The licence holders did not attend and the Board decided that they should be written to and the matter considered at the subsequent Board hearing. A post Board determination letter was sent on 28 March 2023 by recorded delivery explaining the importance of attendance at the subsequent meeting. No contact has been forthcoming. A further citation letter has been sent by recorded delivery. This information is respectfully submitted to the Board for its consideration.
