Conditions Consistent with applicant's Operating Schedule
General
The Variation to the Licence is requested to provide our patrons the option of obtaining alcohol beyond 11:00 pm without the necessity of ordering taxis to travel to Melton Town centre.
No promotion of the variation would be sought.
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
As is the case now, no drunkenness or rowdy behaviour would be allowed on the premises. Believe the variation would aide Melton Police, alleviating the town centre of a certain amount of people on Friday and Saturday night.
Public Safety
The Premises would be kept in good order and regular testing of safety equipment carried out.
The Prevention of Public Nuisance
Patrons would be encouraged to leave the premises in a sensible manner. We foresee the majority of customers would live in the village and be walking home.
The signage lights would be turned off by 11:30 pm
The garden area would close at 11:00 pm
All exit doors have self closers containing any noise.
The Protection of Children from Harm
There would be no change from our current policy of only allowing children on to the premises to consume food in non smoking areas.
Food service ceases at 9:30 pm.
