Applicant’s Representations The Sub-Committee were advised that the original application had been granted in 2021. This was a variation application in order for the premises to extend its footprint into the premises next door. The application was an extension and there were no issues with the existing operation of the premises. The applicant had engaged with the Licensing Authority and the Police. The premises was part of the development of the Canal Quarter in Cardiff. The Sub-Committee were provided with a booklet outlining the operations at the premises, which was being run as a smart cocktail bar. The proposed operating schedule of the conditions of the premises were described as significant, with additional conditions agreed with South Wales Police. The police had not objected to the application and no residents in the vicinity had objected to the application. The applicant made reference to some of the objections received from residents which related to another premises in the vicinity and were very similar to objections received in 2021. Responding to questions from the Sub-Committee, the applicant referred to the non-glass vessel policy and the suggestion of live sport at the premises. The applicant also provided information on the promotion of drinks offers that would be available. Responding to the questions from the Ward Member, the applicant provided the capacity at the premises and policy in place to deal with children. Interested Other Representations Speaking as the Ward Member, Cllr Mackie advised the Committee that residents had concerns about the premises and other premises in the vicinity. The concerns were directed at noise and anti-social behaviour. There was evidence of crime in the area and residents were also concerned about the overspill into Charles Street when the premises closed. Responding to questions from the Sub Committee, Cllr Mackie confirmed that residents’ complaints had been forwarded to South Wales Police. Summing Up Cllr Mackie reiterated the increase in crime and disorder in the area and the concerns of residents. The applicant’s representative stated that this was an upmarket establishment which local residents had not complained about. Decision RESOLVED: That the Sub Committee, having considered all the information, and in accordance with the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003, the Section 182 Guidance and the Licensing Authority’s own Statement of Licensing Policy, GRANTED the application. The Sub Committee noted that neither South Wales Police nor Environmental Health or Pollution Control had objected to this application. Members carefully considered the objection from the local Ward Members but did not consider that there was any evidence that the granting of this licence would undermine the licensing objectives.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
