The report and recommendation of the Licensing Section.

 

a)     Submitted – the report of the Licensing Manager providing details about Mr Kenneth Richard Williams’s application for a premises licence for Pant yr Ardd, Tregarth, Bangor. Although it was an application for a public house with a beer garden, attention was drawn to the fact that the plan of the premises received with the application form did not include the location of the beer garden. In terms of background information, it was noted that a premises licence had existed for the property since 24.11.2005 but it was surrendered on 20.05.15. Reference was also made to the fact that the applicant had included appropriate steps to promote the four licensing objectives as part of his application and, following discussions with the Environmental Health Service and the Licensing Authority, has agreed to the noise conditions and to CCTV conditions.

 

b)     It was noted that, following a consultation period, the Environmental Health Service and the Licensing Authority had objected to the application. No observations had been received from North Wales Police and there was no objection from the Fire and Rescue Service. In addition, five objections had been received from other parties based on the licensing objective of Prevention of Crime and Disorder and the Prevention of Public Nuisance. The objectors’ main concerns were increase in noise, disorder, litter and licensable activities provided in the beer garden.
