This application was for a club premises certificate in respect of High Royds Sports and Social Club, Block 11, Clock Tower Chevin Park, Menston, LS29 6AQ.

 

Members noted that this was the first application for a club premises certificate for these premises at this location.

 

Members also noted that the premises were previously located in another part of the grounds but due to the development of the site the club had to be relocated on a temporary basis until such time as a permanent club house was constructed.

 

A summary of the application was set out at 3.2 of the submitted report.

 

The proposed operating schedule was attached at Appendix A of the submitted report.

 

Representations had been received from Environmental Health Noise and Nuisance Team in the capacity as a responsible authority. Measures were agreed with Environmental Health prior to the hearing and a copy of the agreement was attached at Appendix D of the submitted report.

 

The Licensing Authority had received 2 representations from members of the public. Redacted copies of these representations were attached at Appendix E of the submitted report.

 

In attendance at the hearing was Mr Booth the applicant and Mr White a club member and resident of Chevin Park.

 

Mr Booth informed the Committee that the Sports and Social Club were applying for a licence as they were relocating due to the developer refurbishing the current premises. They had been informed by the developer that the refurbishment could take between 12 and 18 months.

 

Mr White informed the Members that the events that they had were attended by 40 to 45 people. The events range from quizzes, tango dance lessons and darts and dominoes.

 

The Committee were informed that the developer had marked out 22 parking spaces. However, Mr Booth said that they were in negotiations with the developer for more parking in front of the old hospital building.

 

Members noted that parking would transfer to residents in the area when the Sports and Social Club move to the newly refurbished premises.

 

Members were informed that the permanent site for the Club would be next to the cricket and football pitch located across the road from the development.

 

Mr White explained that to alleviate noise nuisance the developer would install secondary double glazing. Mr White also explained that he would be taking sound pressure readings in the gardens close to the proposed premises and that adapted equipment would be used for music, there would be no live music events.

 

Both Mr Booth and Mr White said that they realised that the location was not ideal for the residents but that the ethos of the club was to provide events for the community. They would provide telephone numbers to neighbours in the area in case any issues should arise.
