Minutes:

The Licensing Sub-Committee received a report presented by the Senior Licensing and Enforcement Officer on the application for a new premises licence for Standon Calling Limited, Standon Lordship, Barwick Road, Standon, Hertfordshire, SG11 1PR.

The Senior Licensing and Enforcement Officer summarised the application and said that the public objectors had not been able to attend the hearing. The Sub-Committee were advised that their representations had not been changed or updated as there had been no mediation with the applicant during or since the consultation period.

The Senior Licensing and Enforcement Officer said that Hertfordshire Police Licensing, assisted by Hertfordshire Highways, had been mediating with the applicant and had provided a list of proposed conditions. He said that these conditions had been agreed upon and as such mitigated the police representations. He said that the Sub-Committee should consider whether these agreed conditions mitigated the public representations.

The Licensing Sub-Committee and the applicant asked a number of questions of the Senior Licensing and Enforcement Officer, which he responded to.

There were no questions from the Police to the Senior Licensing and Enforcement Officer.

The applicant made his submission in support of the application. The Sub-Committee asked a number of questions of the applicant, and he responded to the questions from Members.

The Sub-Committee asked a number of questions of the Police as the responsible authority.
