Philip Day – Lacey’s Solicitors (representing the Applicant)

Ollie Spratley (Regional Manager for The Stable)

 

Responsible Authorities:

The Interim Licensing Manager introduced the report which set out an application for a New Premises Licence under Section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 for The Stable, 31B The Square, Winchester and responded to questions thereon. The premises were described as a ‘bar and restaurant’ and a plan of the premises location was set out in Appendix 4 to the report. 

 

The premises had an existing premises licensing in effect, as set out in Appendix 3. This application was seeking to retain the same operating hours as the existing licence, with some modifications and conditions that reflected the current operation of the premises. The application specified live music, recorded music, late night refreshment and supply of alcohol (for consumption on and off the premises) as the licensable activities. The full application was set out in Appendix 1 to the report. 

 

The Sub-Committee were advised that one representation had been received by a Responsible Authority; PC Brian Swallow of Hampshire Constabulary, on behalf of the Chief Officer of Police. The representation related to the licensing objectives of prevention of crime and disorder, public safety and the prevention of public nuisance and were set out in full in Appendix 2. No representations had been received by Other Persons.

 

The Sub-Committee were advised that it was understood that discussions about possible conditions had taken place between PC Swallow and the applicant’s representative during the consultation period and up to and including 19 January 2022 and the correspondence received from both parties was set out in Appendices 5, 7 and 8 to the report. The correspondence set out in Appendices 7 and 8 suggested that the two parties had agreed on a number of conditions, but there were several outstanding issues for discussion.   

 

In conclusion, the Interim Licensing Manager advised the Sub-Committee that, if minded to grant the application, there were conditions to consider, as set out in Section 5 of the report and in the appendices, which the Sub-Committee could consider and amend as appropriate to promote the licensing objectives.
