Jimmy’s 52 Low Petergate, agreements made with Public Protection

I have received further correspondence from the applicants and have considered the proposed alterations to the application and as the music, which was our biggest concern, has been withdrawn from the application, the licensing hours reduced and a suitable conditions submitted in relation to a noise management plan and use of the rear yard area, Public Protection’s representation is withdrawn.

For clarity please see below the proposed alterations and conditions that should be attached to any granted premises licence:

• Live and recorded music shall be removed from the application in its entirety.
• The hours shall be reduced to 2300 for the sale of alcohol (closing 30 minutes thereafter) on Sundays to Thursdays and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays (plus 30 minutes).

Conditions that shall be attached to the licence:

1. The exterior of the building shall be cleared of litter at regular intervals.

2. A Dispersal Policy will be implemented and adhered to.

3. The emptying of bins into skips and refuse collections will not take place between 11pm and 7am.

4. Doors and windows at the premises are to remain closed after 11pm, save for access and egress.

5. A documented noise management plan shall be submitted to and approved by the City of York Council within two months of the licence being granted, once approved it shall be implemented. The noise management plan will also include a procedure for investigating noise complaints.

6. After 11pm the rear courtyard shall be used only for smokers, and customers shall not be permitted to take drinks outside into this area after this time.

D) The Protection of Children from Harm

1. A “Challenge 25” Policy shall be implemented in full and appropriate identification sought from any person who appears to be under the age of 25.  The only acceptable forms of ID are photographic driving licences, passports, HM forces warrant cards, EU/EEA national ID card or similar document or a form of identification with the "PASS" hologram.

2. Staff training will include the Challenge 25 Policy and its operation.  In particular, staff shall be trained to take such action as is necessary to prevent the sale of alcohol to persons over the age of 18 where those customers are engaged in the distribution of alcohol to persons under the age of 18.  The training must be given to a new member of staff before they commence employment, and all staff must receive refresher training every 6 months.

3. Notices advising what forms of ID are acceptable must be displayed.

4. Notices must be displayed in prominent positions indicating that the Challenge 25 policy is in force.
