The Chair signed the minutes of the previous meeting of this committee, held on 11 November 2024, as a true record.
Submitted and received, for information, the minutes of the General Licensing Sub-committees held on 21 January 2025, 2 December 2024 and 11 November 2024, as true records. In response to an observation to ensure the voice of the applicant in hearings instead of the voice of their representative, it was noted that Sub-committee members had the right to challenge the representative and ask the applicant to present / give observations on the application. In response to an observation regarding the input of Community Councils to premises licence applications, it was noted that Community Councils were part of the statutory consultation period and that they had the opportunity to express an opinion. It was reiterated that Community Council meeting timetables did not always go hand-in-hand with the consultation period, but they had an opportunity to offer observations. Should observations be submitted, a representative from the Community Council will be invited to attend the hearing to present their observations verbally. Councillor Elfed Williams took the opportunity to thank the Committee Members and the Officers for their support whilst he had been Chair of the Licensing Committees
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.
