Agenda item

To receive and consider the attached report of the Head of Elections, Licensing and Registration.

The report of the Head of Elections, Licensing and Registration presented an application for the renewal of a Sex Establishment Licence at Silks, 2 Sovereign Place, Leeds, LS1 4SP.

The Licensing Officer presented the application and gave a brief summary of the renewal history of the premises along with the hours of operation.  There had been no representations made from responsible authorities or objections to the application.

The following were in attendance:

Anthony Lyons – Representing Silks

Elizabeth Morris – Silks

Maria Cunningham – Silks

Mr Lyons addressed the Sub-Committee.  This was the sixth year that the premises had held a Sexual Establishment Licence and there had been no issues with the operation over the previous twelve months.  All operating policies and safeguarding procedures would remain the same and renewal was sought on the same terms as the previous year.  The Sub-Committee’s attention was brought to photographs of the frontage of the premises which was also to be agreed as part of the application.

The Licensing Sub-Committee carefully considered the application, the report and the representations made at the hearing.

RESOLVED – That the application be granted as applied for.
