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 in part, with the applicant being permitted to provide late night refreshment from 23:00 to 04:00 hours on Friday and Saturday.
The Sub-Committee considered the application on its individual merits and considered all the committee papers, the statutory guidance made under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003, the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, submissions made by the applicant and all other parties, and the oral evidence given by the applicant and objectors during the hearing in its determination of the matter. The sub-committee also recognised the support for the application from other persons and the popularity of the premises.
The Sub-Committee noted that South Wales Police initially objected to the application; however, this objection was withdrawn prior to the meeting as the applicant agreed their proposed conditions.
The Sub-Committee noted that there was evidence that the premises had previously carried on licensable activity without a relevant authorisation. However, they accepted that this occurred during a period that the premises was under different management and the business is now under new management.
The Sub-Committee gave weight to the representation from Cllr Mackie during the hearing. They accepted that the premises is located in an area that experiences a significant amount of crime and disorder and is nearby residential properties.
The Sub-Committee noted the applicant’s comment that the application will help promote the licensing objectives as it will help alleviate the queues from nearby premises that are permitted to trade later, which will help disperse those from the area more quickly. The Sub-Committee considered this and felt that this would be unlikely to occur during weekdays and the premises is likely to result in an increase in the number of customers attracted to the area that would undermine the licensing objectives.
After carefully considering all the information, the Sub-Committee resolved to the grant the application in part, authorising late night refreshment starting at 23:00 hours until 04:00 hours on Friday and Saturdays.

The following conditions be added to the hackney carriage conditions of licence:
