Minutes:

The report of the Chief Officer, Elections and Regulatory presented an application to vary a Premises Licence held by Deli 46, 46 Carlton Lane, Rothwell, Leeds.

 

The application was as follows:

 

·  Add sale of alcohol for on sales – Sunday to Thursday – 1:00 until 22:00; Friday and Saturday – 12:00 until 23:00

·  Add recorded music – Sunday to Thursday – 09:00 until 22:00; Friday and Saturday – 09:00 to 23:00

·  Vary the plans of the premises to outline its refurbishments from a shop to a café/deli

·  Add control measures from the pro forma risk assessment to promote the licensing objectives

 

The following were in attendance:

 

Mr Atabak Karvani Dilmaghani – Applicant

Mr Amir Karvani Dilmaghani – Representing the applicant

Councillor C Harrison – Local Ward Councillor

Mrs Dawn Knight – Local resident

 

Prior to the hearing, the Sub-Committee queried the applicant’s responses to information provided on the pro-forma risk assessment as there were concern to some of the suggested conditions which did not appear to but suitable for the Licence being applied for.  The applicant informed the Sub-Committee that there had been mistakes when the form was completed and the main purpose of the application was to allow the sale of alcohol until 23:00 on Friday and Saturday and until 22:00 on Sunday to Thursday.

 

Further issues highlighted in support of the application included the following:

 

·  The applicant had two other premises which had successfully operated without any objections or complaints.

·  The premises already had a licence for off sales of alcohol.  The application wold move the sale of alcohol from the shop floor to a behind counter operation which would provide a more controlled environment.

·  The applicant would not allow people to congregate outside the premises.

·  The premises would be operated primarily as a coffee shop/deli with alcohol sales secondary to this.

·  The applicant would do everything possible to eliminate nuisance to neighbours.

·  The applicant’s track record of working with the community and neighbours was reliable.

 

In response to questions from the Sub-Committee, the following was discussed:

 

·  Alcohol sales would not commence until 12:00.

·  Draught beer was sold at the applicant’s premises in Woodlesford.  The premises would not be a primarily bar led operation but may sell draught beer in the future.  Alcohol sales would include some basic cocktails, wines and spirits.

·  With regard to the pro-forma, the applicant was asked why it had indicated that door supervisors would be present and children would not be allowed in the premises.  It was acknowledged that there had been some errors made when the application had been completed and the Sub-Committee held a brief adjournment to clarify matters with the Licensing Team regarding the completion of the form and to allow the applicant to give further consideration to what measures they wished to include in the pro-forma.  The Sub-Committee was subsequently informed that the applicant had been provided with information as to what the conditions entailed but was not advised what to include in the application.
