To consider the report of the Head of Licensing and Registration on an application received to vary a premises licence held by Carnegie Sports Centre University Sport, Carnegie Facility, Headingley Campus, Leeds, LS6 3QS Additional documents:
Minutes: Members of the Licensing Sub-Committee were asked to consider an application to vary a premises licence held by Carnegie Sports Centre University Sport, Carnegie Facility, Headingley Campus, Leeds, LS6 3QS.
The premises currently have a premises licence which was applied for in 2006. The application was for Indoor sporting events, recorded music, anything of a similar description, from 8:00 hours until 23:00 Monday to Friday and 9:00 until 20:00 Saturday and Sunday.
The application is to include the sale of alcohol on the premises every day from 12:00 noon until 22:00, and to extend the regulated entertainment from 9:00 until 22:00 on a Saturday and Sunday.
The application had received no representations from responsible authorities. The application had attracted representations from other persons. The Licensing Section was in receipt of one individual letter and a petition containing eight signatures, all of which opposed the application on the grounds of noise nuisance.
David Collett the licence holder was in attendance for the hearing along with David Henderson and Oliver Hylands from Leeds Metropolitan University.
Members were informed that the University was part of a Basketball League and the games were played on Friday and Saturday evenings. The bottle bar at the facility was used to sell bottled beers and soft drinks. On previous occasions TEN’s had been granted for late night events.
At home games the audience is mainly made up of families and children of the players there are only a few students.
The TEN’s licence was used to sell bottled beers 30 minutes prior to the start of the game, 15 minutes during the break and refreshment for 30 minutes after the game. The Licensing Section were able to confirm that TEN’s had been used.
Security management is used on the doors and in the venue when an event is taking place.
Members took into consideration the concerns expressed by residents living close to the facility. They were informed that there was no anti-social behaviour in relation to the activities held at the sports centre. The Committee were informed that there had been one incident on a very warm day when the doors were open during a teaching session of movement and dance. The residents had complained that the music was too loud and this had been rectified and has not happened again.
In response to a question asked by Members they were informed that the distance from the fence line to the properties on Harrowby Road is approximately 50 metres.
The Committee was informed that complaints can be dealt with quickly usually within 10 to 15 minutes. The reception telephone number is on the website as is the contact number for Mr Henderson.
Alcohol is only sold when there is an event taking place or the facility is hired out. TEN’s have been used with no problems.
Members considered the report and took into account that TEN’s had been used successfully on previous occasions with no complaints. The petition was a small percentage of the nearby population with ... view the full minutes text for item 18. |
