Exempt Information - Possible Exclusion of the Press and Public

To consider a report of the Head of Elections, Licensing and Registration which sets out details of an application for the grant of a premises licence, made by Pomidou Import Ltd, for Leeds French Wine 197 Chapeltown Road, Chapeltown, Leeds, LS7 3DX.
(Report attached) Additional documents:
Minutes: The Sub Committee considered the report of the Head of Elections, Licensing and Registration on an application for the grant of a premises licence made by Pomidou Import Ltd, for Leeds French Wine, 197 Chapeltown Road, Chapeltown, Leeds, LS7 3DX.
The original application sought the sale by retail of alcohol and provision of late night refreshment and had attracted representations from other persons and LCC Environmental Protection Team.
Prior to the hearing, the applicant and LCC EPT had reached agreement over measures to address the public nuisance licensing objective. LCC EPT had withdrawn their representation on the understanding that the agreed measures would be included within the operating schedule for the premises, should this application be granted. The agreement effectively restricted the hours to: Sale by retail of alcohol: Monday to Friday 11:00 - 23:00 hours Saturday and Sunday 14:00 - 00:00 midnight Late night refreshment: Saturday and Sunday 23:00 - 00:00 midnight Opening hours: Monday to Friday 11:00 - 23:00 hours Saturday and Sunday 14:00 - 00:00 hours
Members of the public who had submitted a representation did not attend the hearing. The Sub Committee resolved to take their representations into account and consider the application in their absence.
Mr Fabien P Dacleu, the applicant and proposed Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS), attended the hearing. Mr Dacleu explained that he had previously held a premises licence and operated a similar business with a partner, but had moved premises and forgotten to move the premises licence across. Mr Dacleu stated that he had discovered the error at the time of the Leeds West Indian Carnival when he had wanted to open later. At that time, he contacted West Yorkshire Police for advice when making the application. Since then, the premises had been closed. On receipt of the LCC EPT representation he had agreed to revert back to the former operating hours.
Responding directly to the comments made in the representations received from local residents, Mr Dacleu suggested that the person who stated they lived above the premises actually lived two floors above as he lived in Flat One immediately above the premises, with a travel agency on the top floor. He stated that the only other employee was his wife and confirmed that the premises had not previously operated until 02:00 hours
In response to queries from the Sub Committee Mr Dacleu provided further information on the following: - His previous business had failed as it was too large and he could not afford the rent. He had bought out his business partner, set up a company called Pomidou Import Ltd and intended to run this new business with his wife. - This new venture was in smaller premises. Essentially it was a small bar with a wine off-licence facility. No food was prepared or sold, as the venue had no kitchen to prepare meals - In respect of comments about patrons urinating in the street, Mr Dacleu stated that his local community patronised the premises. He felt that these comments ... view the full minutes text for item 6. |
