Providing warehouse tours; tastings and sale of distillery merchandise. Layout Plan & Site Plan The layout plan and site plan show the addition of a separate building housing a ticketed tasting area for warehouse tours. The applicant wishes this second building to be included in the premises licence. Although separate premises on the one premises licence is novel, there is no restriction of this in The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. The definition of a premises in the Act is “any place and includes a vehicle, vessel or moveable structure.” As usual it will be the responsibility of the Designated Premises Manager to monitor and supervise this new building as part of the overall estate. EHO The EHO is aware of this application and has no adverse comments. POLICE COMMENTS: No Police objections OBJECTIONS/REPRESENTATIONS: None POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION:- 1) There has been a comment from the Planning Department which states:- The proposed area to the north of Bolgam Street would appear to require planning permission. Based on our records, it is not clear whether the remaining elements to the south of Bolgam Street (out with the whisky shop) benefit from planning permission. 2) There has been a comment from Building Standards which states:- There are no building warrant applications for the change of use from an office to a public access building(s) on our system and thus further information will be required.
