The Licensing Sub Committee had noted prior to the meeting that this area was not covered by a Cumulative Impact Policy (CIP). However, they also noted that there was a proposal to have the area covered by CIP and that the proposal was due to come before full Council in the near future.
The applicant was applying for sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises, every day between 08:00 – 22:00.
