The applicants confirmed receipt of the report and hearing procedure and acknowledged that they would proceed without legal representation. The key issues and details were read out to the Sub Committee. The objectors had provided written evidence but were not present at the meeting. The applicants were then given the opportunity to address the Sub Committee, to put forward any relevant explanations. Following this, Members of the Sub Committee put forward questions to the applicants and discussion ensued. The applicants were then given the opportunity to sum up. Following questioning, the Sub Committee Members and the Monmouthshire County Council Solicitor left the meeting to deliberate and discuss the findings. Upon re-commencement, the Chair and Monmouthshire Solicitor advised that the Sub Committee had made a unanimous decision to approve the application. The following reasons were given by the Sub-Committee for the decision to approve the application: • The applicants have agreed to comply with all the conditions stipulated by the Police conditions. • The applicants have recognised the issues/concerns raised by the objectors and the Sub-Committee was satisfied with the steps taken by the applicants to reduce noise levels (e.g the implementation of sound proofing). • The Sub-Committee took into consideration the licensing objections contained within the Licensing Act 2003. The Sub-Committee had no significant concerns in respect of the four licensing objectives. • The Sub-Committee took into the account the highway junction to enter/exit the premises and considered public safety, which is one of the Licensing Objectives under the Licensing Act 2003. The Sub-Committee made the following recommendations to mitigate the risk: - The applicants’ hedge which adjoins the highway junction is to be maintained to provide good visibility to road users and pedestrians. - The applicants include an advice note on their website in respect of the junction to enter and exit their premises and to exercise care when entering and leaving the venue and entering the highway. - An advice note to be clearly visible at the property in respect of the junction and to exercise care when entering and leaving the property and entering the highway.
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.
