Proposed; “During peak/winter periods the hours will reduce” 
The applicant has been advised of the following Board policy and will provide further
detail. 
“Applicants should be aware that the Board anticipates that applicants will only apply for the
licensed hours that they intend to operate. The Board recognises, however, that at certain
times of the year demand may diminish to the point where it is no longer economically viable
for premises to remain open, particularly on weekday evenings. The Board expects that
premises licence applicants ensure that if they anticipate being affected by this and wish to
close early, for example during the winter months, that this is specifically referred to in their
operating plan. For guidance, the Board is likely to 
Consider the following variation acceptable: The Management reserve the right to open the
business one hour later than the commencement of licensed core hours or close one hour
earlier than termination of core hours on any day of the week during winter months i.e. 1st
October to 31st March.”
