Conditions Consistent with Applicant’s Operating Schedule
The Prevention of crime and disorder
The company monitors the need for door supervisors and in doing so takes into account any advice given by the Police
The pub manager is required to actively participate in and support the local Pubwatch scheme (where active).
Text and/or radio pagers, where already used will be used for any additional hours.
Toughened glass is currently in use and will continue to be used during any additional hours.
Existing CCTV system will continue to operate during the additional hours.
In line with our Alcohol and Social Responsibility Policy there will be no promotions that encourage illegal, irresponsible or immoderate consumption
Public Safety
We already understand our obligations under existing Health and Safety legislation, take our responsibilities seriously and have extensive policies and practices in place to meet these obligations
It is our opinion that the nature of the operation and proposed variation will not lead to any increase in risk of the public safety. The existing policies will simply be extended to cover the relatively small increase in opening hours. Our internal health and safety due diligence and incident reporting system will operate during the additional hour(s).
The prevention of public nuisance
The style and nature of the operation will not differ significantly from the existing trading operation during the extended hour(s). Indeed the grant of the additional hour(s) will itself promote the licensing objectives as stated in paragraph 3.29 of the Guidance, in allowing customers to emerge from premises at a more gradual rate.
Reasonable steps are taken to recognise the rights of local residents and to encourage customers to leave the premises quietly
Managers are required to liaise with local neighbours as part of their duties and resolve any reasonable concerns in accordance with our Role in the Community Guidelines
The protection of children from harm
We recognise the importance of protecting children from harm and this is supported by:-
- Our commitment to health and safety in the operation and maintenance of the premises
- Our approach to managing the risk of under-age drinking
We will at all times observe the law and ensure that alcohol is not served to people who are under 18 years of age. The manager and staff are briefed on the importance of their responsibilities in ensuring customers are over 18
No adult entertainment (paid for by the company of a nude physical nature) is permitted at these premises. Any children under 16 remain the responsibility of the accompanying adult when using the premises (and/or exterior area). Staff are not allowed to be in sole supervision of children which remains the responsibility of the accompanying adult at all times
