LSO REPORT GLENGORM COFFEE SHOP & FARM SHOP, GLENGORM, ISLE OF MULL, TOBERMORY, PA75 6QD An application for a new premises licence to add to the services provided by a long standing coffee/farm shop. The farm steadings were converted during 2002 to form the coffee shop with an upstairs art gallery/entertainment space. Offers include lunch, teas and coffees and as a farm shop they sell local produce, all within a rural setting. Layout Plan; a Layout Plan has been submitted and has been adjusted and updated to show current areas for alcohol supply and display, baby changing facilities and an outline of the actual areas to be licensed.

Proposed; at the moment we hope to remain open at weekends during the winter months, this depends upon demand. Winter months; explained as, 31st October and re-opening at Easter, if no demand during the off season we may wish to close. The applicant has been advised of the following Board policy “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.” The applicant asks that the previous proposed outline be considered and accepted.
