ITEM 6(c) 
PROPOSED CAPACITY: 11.74m2 
LSO COMMENTS:  Morrison’s have recently taken over a number of shops previously run by RS
McColls and as such, have embarked on a refurbishment programme to bring the Lochgilphead shop
into line with the Morrison’s local model and branding. The premises licence has been transferred.
Question 7 capacity
Current,   5.75 M2 
Proposed, 11.74 M2. (Corrected measurement)
Despite the apparent increase in capacity, the actual displays are as was in the past. The overall
percentage retail floor space, given over to alcohol display is 3.9%, below the 10% maximum the
Board expects. 
4.025 square metres (alcohol display, (length x depth, divided by 104 square metres, (floor space)
multiplied by 100 = 3.87%
A new layout Plan has been submitted.
EHO. Has been informed, no issues arising.
POLICE COMMENTS:  No Police objections  
OBJECTIONS/REPRESENTATIONS:  
(1) Change to the layout plan following refurbishment
(2) Increase in capacity from 5.75 square metres to 11.74 square metres. Although, on the face of it,
this appears to be a considerable increase, there was an error previously in how the figure was
calculated and this reflects what was had by RS McColls and the percentage of retail space given
over to alcohol display is 3.9%
