Minutes:

Members considered an application by Event Coordin8 Ltd for a Premises Licence in respect of The Salix Yurts, Willow House Caravan Park, Wigginton Road, Wigginton, York, YO32 2RH.

 

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 Public Nuisance ;

2.   The Prevention of Crime and Disorder

 

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 objective, including:

 

1.           The application form.

 

2.           The papers before it.

 

3.           The Licensing Manager’s report and her comments given at the Hearing. The Licensing Manager outlined the report and the annexes, noting the details of the application submitted and the conditions agreed by the Applicant with the North Yorkshire Police and Environmental Protection should the licence be granted.  She also noted that the premises were not located within the cumulative impact assessment area and that the site did not have the correct Planning Permission for the intended use.  She drew attention to the representations that had been received from local residents, the parish council and ward councillors, as set out in Annex 6, and the Applicant’s letter in response to these at Annex 7.  She advised the Sub Committee of their options in determining the application. 

 

The Licensing Manager further noted that live and recorded music performed to an audience of less than 500 people was no longer a licensable activity between the hours of 8:00 and 23:00 on licensed premises and so was not subject to control between those hours.  Finally, she drew attention to the additional papers supplied by the Applicant, which had been circulated to all parties and subsequently published online as an Agenda Supplement.

 

Questions were then put to the Licensing Manager in relation to the capacity sought for the venue and the position on Planning enforcement under Temporary Event Notices (TENs) issued for previous events at the premises, to which she responded that:

·        Capacity had not been stipulated in the application;

·        A number of events had taken place at the premises under TENs; it would be a matter for Planning to take any enforcement action required.

 

4.           The representations made by Lee Cowell on behalf of the Applicant in writing and at the hearing, including the additional papers in the Agenda Supplement, and the representations made at the hearing by the Applicant’s witness, James Gallagher. 

 

Mr Cowell stated that he had run events successfully at the premises since April 2018 under TENs.  However, in order to accommodate the number of events that had been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, he now had no alternative but to apply for a permanent licence.  He was aware of concerns relating to licensed hours, noise, traffic and the location of the premises and in response had made concessions via the conditions agreed with the Police and Environmental Protection.  He pointed out that these would  ...  view the full minutes text for item 16.
