  Annex 3 - Conditions attached after a hearing by the licensing authority

   

  1.              Permission is granted for late night refreshment from 11pm until 2am the morning following Tuesdays and Wednesdays; from 11pm until 3am the morning following Mondays and Thursdays; from 11pm until 4 am the morning following Fridays and Saturdays; and from 11pm until 2 am the morning following Sundays.  We also grant permission for the premises to be open to the public until those times.

   

  2.              Permission is granted for alcohol to be sold for consumption on or off the premises between the hours of 3pm and 10 pm every day.  Permission is also granted for alcohol to be sold for consumption on the premises only until midnight every day.  We do not grant permission to serve alcohol for consumption off the premises after 10pm because we believe that such permission would have a negative impact on the prevention of crime and disorder.  In coming to this decision we have considered, in particular, the police representations about recent incidents at the premises.

   

   

   

  3.              We have heard that the music which is to be played at the premises will be for staff purposes only and that the speakers are located in the serving area, not the public area.  That being so, we have concluded that the playing of music will be incidental to other licensable activities at the premises and so it does not need to be licensed.

   

  4.              We do not exclude children from the premises; nor do we impose a door supervisor condition as we feel that these conditions are not necessary to promote the licensing objectives.  We do, however, impose those conditions that were offered by the applicant in his Operating Schedule toolkit, because we feel that they are necessary to promote the licensing objectives.

   

   

  Conditions attached following a Review Hearing by the licensing authority June 2010, as amended at Magistrates’ Court October 2010

   

   

  1.              The premises will be a member of the Police and Local Authority approved radio scheme (Currently Townlink/Leisure-Link and operated by Ipswich Central) to provide a communication system between the Police, Local Authority CCTV and other users of the system.

   

  The radio scheme shall be actively monitored and used during licensable activity.

   

  2.              CCTV

   

  A CCTV system equipped with a digital recording device shall be in continuous use to record time and date stamped images of all monitored areas during all of the opening hours permitted by the licence, whether or not licensable activity is taken place at any given time.

   

  The equipment shall have such number of cameras as necessary to cover all areas where licensable activity takes place, and any public entrance(s) to the premises. The number and location of the cameras to be subject to the approval of a designated police or local authority officer.

   

  A member of staff trained and capable of downloading the recorded images from the system to optical disc shall be available to do so during all of the opening hours for the premises.
