Note to Designers and Contractors
Under the CDM2015 regulations BSC has
sought to eliminate or reduce risks where
possible as part of the design process.
Significant residual risks, or areas of work that
require special attention during construction,
which have been identified by BSC, are
indicated on project drawings by the following
symbol        .
It is anticipated that other designers and
contractors will co-operate to identify any
potential construction hazards and to
eliminate them were possible.
Measures to minimise residual hazards will be
reviewed on a regular basis.

Oana Anghel
Flat C,33 B Combie Street
Oban, PA34 4HS 
4th of April 2025 
To Whom It May Concern, 
I have received a letter notifying me of the application for the Lochavullin Bar,35 Combie Street
,Oban, PA34 4HS. 
I would like to formally object to a 1 am licence being granted at those premises. I live locally to the
Lochavullin bar and firmly believe that should the premises be allowed to stay open that late
contradicts the licensing objectives stated in the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 
Firstly, Preventing Crime and Disorder. In the past the aforementioned premises were frequented by
certain individuals that seemed to attract crime and disorder. I believe that should they be allowed
to stay open later this problem will only be exacerbated. My close is next door to the Lochavullin Bar
and was previously used by the patrons for all sorts of disruptive activities, to the point that we had
to install a passcode lock. 
Secondly, Preventing Public Nuisance, the Lochavullin bar is located in a densely populated area of
Oban. There are lots of residents in this area that will be affected by the disruption caused by this
application. Again, in the past,the premises has always had an issue with patrons causing disruption
on the street and is not welcome with the residents of the area. The pavement was used as a ashtray
and a bin at the same time, with broken glass and cigarettes littering the pavement. Passing the pub
was always difficult as the narrow pavement basically became a smoking area for the Lochavullin
bar. 
I firmly believe that even though the premises has a new owner the problems and patrons of old will
return and the Lochavullin Bar will once again become the negative externality it was in the past. I
believe that should this licence be granted there will be more problems than previously with these
premises, it was for good reason this licence was not granted to the Lochavullin bar historically. The
Page 39

Page 40

police will also be required to attend disruption that will inevitably be caused by any extension to
their licence, I sincerely hope they will be consulted before any Premises Licence is granted. 
Yours Sincerely, 
Oana Anghel

POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION:-
(1)Extend the commencement hour for on-sales from 10a.m. to 9a.m. Monday to Sunday. The agent
for the licence holder has been in touch regarding the 9.00am start. They have asked for the
following information to be passed to the Board Members:-
It was indicated that the reason for early start is to allow those who are on tours or who have
been on tours. Our suggestion is that a condition might be applied to give some comfort that it
would not be a bar open for all. Wording which is suggested and has been used in other areas is as
follows "Alcohol for consumption on the premises prior to 10:00 hrs on any day may only be sold to
persons participating in a formal tasting or sampling session, or to such persons following on from
their participation in a formal tasting or sampling session, and a notice to that effect will be
displayed on the premises."
(2) Addition of bar meals and indoor/outdoor sports as activities.
(3) Addition of reference to the use of the premises for other activities
(4) Increase in the capacity figures for on-sales and off-sales. Currently the on-sales capacity is 472
persons and proposed is 999 persons with additional 2000 in external area for events. Currently
the off-sales capacity is 25.82m2 and the proposed is 38.965m2 and 16.76m3.
(5) The layout plans have been updated to reflect the additional areas and changes to the
operational activities.

LSO; an application to extend Friday and Saturday core hours from 01:00 to 02:00 
The applicant has added a letter with additional information; 
“Dear Board/Madam/Sir.
I wish to explain my reason for the major variation application, asking for operating
hours to be extended from 1am to 2am on Friday and Saturdays.
During the period from 17th December 2021 to 15th February 2025, I have applied,
and have been granted, in total 70 successful extensions to 2am and 3am. (56
events till 2am and 14 events till 3am)
This figure of 70 includes, granted 4 times, the Christmas and New Year festive
policy applications. These festive extensions, allowed for 26 festive extensions till
2am. With 12 New Year extensions to 3am. And 2 Kings Coronation extensions to
3am.
This protracted length of time from December 2021 to present, allowed me to see,
and put right any potential emerging issues. And build a proper management plan to
make a successful late night event, a safe environment for patrons. Working with
police and other partners, no incidents or noise nuisance to nearby neighbours
occurred.
I do hope the board look favourably at my application, and wish to ask, as I do not
have access to Microsoft teams’ video. If I can be called on my phone 07810 602
119 to board meeting.
LSO cont’d; I can confirm I have not received any complaints nor notification from
police Scotland of any issues due to core or extended hours.
