Dear Sir/Madam Licensing Act 2003 – Grant of Premises Licence Application The Lounge, 60-62 Broad Street, Banbury.

His concerns were primarily that the applicant would not be able to control the conduct of their patrons when they leave the premises.

They acknowledged that beyond the vicinity of the premises, these are matters for personal responsibility of individuals under the law. The Committee therefore resolved to approve the application with the following amendments and the inclusion of the following conditions:
