Hut in licensed garden area will be used to dispense alcohol to patrons using the garden. LSO COMMENTS: (Eric Dearie) The premises is an Hotel including lounge bar, 2 lounges, 2 dining/function rooms, letting bedrooms, owners accommodation, storage, cellar and toilet accommodation and external licensed areas. This is a tidying up application which has come about as a result of a licensing inspection by the LSO. The applicant had erected a Hut in the licensed garden to the rear of the Hotel to dispense alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks to those using the garden for outdoor drinking but was unaware that the Hut, although having the necessary planning certificates, was not included in the Hotel’s premises licence. The applicant seeks to update the operating plan and lay-out plan so they include reference to the Hut. The applicant is also looking to amend the activities to allow the outdoor area to be used outwith core licensing hours for the provision of breakfasts, snacks and hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks EHO (REPORT BY NICOLE REDMAN, EHO) Noise nuisance - as the shed is in the licensed garden area which has been used as beer garden historically without EH or Licensing receiving any noise complaints I do not foresee any issues regarding statutory noise nuisance. Food hygiene – the shed should have a means of wash and drying hands with a supply of potable hot and cold water. All food (drinks, crisps, nuts etc.) and drinks glasses must be stored in a suitable condition protected from contamination. If the drinks glasses are washed in the shed then they must have sufficient washing facilities, again with a potable supply of hot and cold running water. The shed must be structurally sound and prevent access for pests, with adequate mechanical or natural ventilation.
