Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Sub-Committee considered an application for the variation of a premises licence for Head of Steam, 13A North Lane, Headingley, Leeds, LS6 3HG.
In attendance at the hearing were:
• Sarah Smith – Solicitor, Stantons Solicitors; and • Simon Ritson – Manager, Cameron’s Brewery Limited
A summary of the application can be found at paragraph 3.1 of the submitted report.
The application had been brought to the Licensing Sub-Committee as the proposed premises had attracted representations from a member of the public.
Agreements had been reached over suggested measures offered by Health and Safety, The Environmental Protection Team and West Yorkshire Police.
The representation received was on the grounds of public nuisance. The person who made the representation was not in attendance. The Sub Committee agreed to proceed to hear the application without the objector being present.
Ms Smith informed the Sub Committee that Cameron’s Brewery had been trading for 150 years and had 83 pubs. The brewery had purchased the “Head Of Steam” brand in 2013, which specialised in craft and cask beer.
Ms Smith confirmed the venue had been purchased by Cameron’s and that £500,000 was to be invested in the premises and that 30 full and part time jobs would be created.
Members of the Sub – Committee were informed of the changes that would take place to the premises including moving the kitchen and toilets to the 1st floor.
It was confirmed that food would be served at the venue all day and that one element of the operation would be the broadcasting of live and recorded music. All live music would be performed on the ground floor of the venue.
Ms Smith informed the Sub Committee that the extension of the licensable hours kept the venue in step with other licensed premises in the area and also to ensure consistency of opening hours over the 7day week.
Members sought confirmation that agreement had been made with the other responsible authorities. It was confirmed this was the case and that the member of public who made the representation had also been contacted.
Members sought clarification as to the size and capacity of the external area to the rear of the premises. It was confirmed that this area had a capacity of approximately 40 people.
RESOLVED - The Licensing Sub-Committee considered the application and the representation received from the member of public and granted the premises licence as applied for subject to the agreed conditions of all responsible authorities.
