Minutes:

The Senior Licensing Officer (Technical) presented a report, the purpose of which, was to advise Members of an application made by NSA Afan Community Regeneration Ltd for a new Premises Licence for the above premises, which consisted of a Café, Bar and Function Hall at the Life Centre.

 

She advised that the application had been the subject of statutory consultation with the relevant bodies as well as being advertised in accordance with the Regulations, and a copy of the application was shown at Appendix A to the report together with the proposed Licence Plan.

 

The report outlined certain background information, and the nature of the application was for a Premises Licence which would authorise the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises only, as well as to include entertainment in the form of plays, recorded music and live music, as specified in the application during the hours as follows:-

 

Monday to Sunday - 09:00 to 2400 hours

Hours open to the public – 0900 to 0030 hours

These would be explained by the applicant when they gave their submission to Members.

 

PC Sarah Rowlatt advised that several meetings had taken place with the applicant where the changes proposed to the application had been openly discussed. She asked Members if the meeting could stand adjourned to go through the detail of these changes to the application.

 

The Legal Officer asked the SW Police representatives why these issues had not been concluded prior to today’s meeting.

 

PC Rowlatt advised that the main reason for this, was that the application had been submitted without it first having been presented to South Wales Police for consultation.
