The report of the Head of Elections, Licensing and Registration outlines an application for the grant of a premises licence, made by Twisted Bars Ltd, for LS20, 91-97 Otley Road, Guiseley, Leeds, LS20 8PS.

The Sub-Committee considered an application made by Twisted Bars Ltd. to grant a premises licence for LS20, 91-97 Otley Road, Guiseley, Leeds, LS20 8PS.

The application had received representations from responsible authorities and other persons. Representations from West Yorkshire Police and Environmental Health were withdrawn prior to the hearing as agreements had been reached.

A representation was also received by a member of the public. The representation was based on the grounds of prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance as at appendix E of the submitted report.

On this occasion the objector did not attend the hearing.

John Coen of Ford and Warren Solicitors attended the hearing with his client Paul Glendenning one of the Directors of Twisted Bars Ltd.

Mr Coen informed the Committee that his client had agreed to the measures proposed by West Yorkshire Police and Environmental Health. Twisted Bars Ltd agreed to;

·  Challenge 21

·  CCTV

·  Notice requesting patrons leave quietly

·  Joining the Pubwatch Scheme

The Members were informed that LS20 was aimed at a mature clientele serving food and drinks.

The application was for sale of alcohol on and off service with entertainment of live or recorded music until midnight. Members were informed that the live music would be acoustic only.

Mr Coen informed the Committee that he had travelled round the area of the proposed bar and noted that there were residents closer in proximity to the premises than that of the objector’s residence.

Members were informed that Adam Lewis would be the DPS of LS20 he had previous experience of this role.

RESOLVED – The Licensing Sub-Committee considered the application and the representation received from the member of the public and granted the premises licence on the basis of the application and the revised conditions set by Twisted Bars in agreement with West Yorkshire Police and Environmental Health.
