Conditions Consistent with Applicant’s Operating Schedule
General
The Premises Supervisor will be the Brewery Director who will be on site virtually all the time to supervise licensed activities. When not on site, the Visitor Centre Manager (who also holds a Personal Licence) will be responsible. The Brewery Director will also have total responsibility for all site specifications, policies and activities. This will aid co-ordinating all the necessary activities below to promote the four licensing objectives.
The prevention of crime and disorder
Being a mostly daytime activity (with occasional evening visits) will reduce the risk of disorder to the neighbourhood.
The licence holder will ensure that during their stay, visitors will be well supervised in a controlled environment that will offer high quality food and drink and as such would discourage unruly behaviour.
The licence holder will ensure that all alcoholic drinks packaged in small containers will be stored in a secure area when not in use. The main body of the building will also fall within a secured area with a perimeter fence and separate entrance.
Public safety
By its very nature the facility will be a new one and so will have the proper and appropriate safety measures to protect the public i.e. use of proper fire doors, fire exits, fire alarms, safety lighting etc. The public licensed area will be essentially an open room with little in the way of corridors or passage ways so improving access and egress.
The licence holder will ensure that all food preparation and presentation areas will meet with the current Environmental Health guidelines and preparation of foods will be supervised by suitably qualified personnel.
The prevention of public nuisance
As detailed in ‘The prevention of crime and disorder’ section above, the activity will be mostly a daytime one and as such is unlikely to cause a nuisance. The licence holder will ensure that nearly all activities will take place inside the building with occasional use of the small area outside. The types of activities such as food and drink sampling are unlikely to cause a disturbance to neighbouring buildings. The nearest residential building is a detached property and is approximately 50m along the road. The next nearest collection of residential buildings is a further 225m along the road.
The protection of children from harm
The licence holder will ensure that only children supervised by their parents or teachers will be allowed to visit. The facility is more likely to appeal to adults/families seeking to either purchase food and drink or learn more of the manufacturing processes associated with the products on sale. The public licensed area is a small distinct one with no gaming machines etc. and as such any children present will be highly visible and well supervised.
