PREMISES: 0084 Jenners Unit 7 Retail Crescent Lomond Shores Balloch G83 8QL PREMISES LICENCE HOLDER: House of Fraser Ltd Unit A Brooke Park East Shirebrook NG20 8RY Non-Payment of annual Fee 2021 The requirement to pay the annual fee is a mandatory condition of the premises licence. The Act requires that where a premises breaches a mandatory condition the Licensing Standards Officer must Issue a notice on the premises. Where the premises licence holder fails to comply with this notice then a premises licence review can be undertaken. The annual fee for WDLBPREM/0084 is £900. The Licensing Board initially suspended this Premises Licence following the non- payment of the Annual Fee due by October 2021 on Tuesday 15 February 2022 and remains suspended as this report goes to print. Non-Payment of Annual Fee 2022 At the time that this report was written, the Premises Licence Holder has failed to pay the annual fee due by 1 October 2022. A Section 14 notice was served on 17 December 2022. Following a failure to comply with this notice, a Premises Licence review application was made by the Licensing Standards Officer. At its meeting on 7 March 2023, the Licensing Board considered the review application. Despite proper notification of this meeting, including visits by officers to the Premises, the Licence Holder was not in attendance at this meeting and the Board decided that the matter should be continued and re-considered at its meeting of 9 May 2023. A letter was sent to the Premises Licence Holder via recorded deliver on 28 March 2023 and a copy of this letter was delivered to the premises by hand. This correspondence explained the importance of the Premises Licence Holder’s attendance at the subsequent meeting. Despite a copy of this also being sent to the Store Manager via email no contact from either the Licence Holder or the Store Manager has been forthcoming to date. Accordingly the Licence Holder has now been cited to attend the 9 May 2023 meeting of the Licensing Board. This information is respectfully submitted to the Board for its consideration.
