The report of the Head of Elections, Licensing and Registration was for an application for the grant of a premises licence, made by Mr Jean Bruno Kidiadi, for Chez Bisoo Bar and Restaurant, 143 Harehills Road, Harehills, Leeds, LS8 5BW.

Mr Jean Bruno Kidiadi and his business partner Mr Emeka Susakani were present at the hearing. They requested an adjournment as they had not been fully aware of the legislation in this country when applying for a premises licence.

Mr Kidiadi explained that the premises at 143 Harehills Road had been a restaurant business previously. However, he had now been made aware that proper permissions from the Planning Department had not been received prior to him taking over the premises.

Mr Kidiadi said that he was now receiving guidance on planning applications from the Planning Department and had submitted a planning application on 5^th December 2017.

The Police who were also at the hearing said that they had no objections to the adjournment.

Members proposed a date for reconvening the hearing to be Tuesday 13^th March 2018. This was agreeable to all parties.

The Chair suggested that it might be advisable for Mr Kidiadi to employ the services of a solicitor.

RESOLVED – To adjourn the hearing until Tuesday 13^th March 2018.
