Minutes:

Members considered an application by QM Hotel (UK) Limited for a Premises Licence [Section 18(3)(a)] in respect of Moxy Hotel, York Stonebow, Black Horse Lane, York, YO1 7NE (CYC – 063711).

 

In considering the application and the representations made, the Sub-Committee concluded that the following licensing objectives were relevant to this Hearing:

 

1.           The prevention of crime and disorder

2.           The prevention of public nuisance

 

In coming to their decision, the Sub-Committee took into consideration all the evidence and submissions that were presented, and determined their relevance to the issues raised and the above licensing objectives, including:

 

1.           The application form.

2.           The following late evidence, circulated prior to and at the hearing:

·                    Updated proposed hours and conditions received from the Applicant’s Solicitor

She noted the information contained within the annexes to the report and advised that the premises were not in the cumulative impact area. She explained that consultation had been carried out correctly.

 

Sub-Committee Members were advised that representation had been received from North Yorkshire Police on the grounds that the prevention of crime and disorder and prevention of public nuisance licensing objectives would be undermined if the licence was granted under the terms applied for. The Licensing Manager reported that since the report had been published both the Applicant and North Yorkshire Police had been in contact and mediated an agreed set of conditions. City of York Council Public Protection (Environmental Protection) had also made a representation on the grounds that the prevention of public nuisance licensing objective would be undermined if the premises licence was to be granted in the terms applied for. There had been 17 representations received from other persons mainly on the grounds that three licensing objectives would be undermined if the application was granted. She added that there were no planning issues in relation to the application. She ended by outlining the 4 options available to the Sub-Committee.

 

In response to questions from the Sub-Committee, the Licensing Manager clarified that the proposed activities of showing films indoors referred to the showing of films in guest rooms and that late night refreshments (indoors) referred to the serving of drinks to members of the public not resident at the hotel.
