Dear Sir/Madam

 

Licensing Act 2003 – Grant of Premises Licence Application

The Cock Horse, 98 Warwick Road, Banbury.

 

I refer to the hearing of the Licensing Sub-Committee on 20 August 2010 at which the Sub-Committee considered an application in respect of the above premises for the variation grant of a premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003.  The decision contained in this letter is a decision of the Licensing Authority.

 

After considering all the representations made at the hearing the Sub-Committee decided as follows:

 

The Sub-Committee considered all the submissions made by all parties. They noted that the Licensing Act 2003 states that all licensing matters must promote the four Licensing Objectives. Representations were received from ThamesValley Police in relation to the promotion of the prevention of crime and disorder objective. Interested Parties attended and raised objections about potential issues should the licence be granted in relation to the prevention of public nuisance objective. The Sub-Committee found that no evidence of actual incidents relating to this premise were presented to the Committee. The Committee therefore resolved to approve the application with the inclusion of the following conditions:

·         Those submitted by the applicant with the application;

·         Those agreed between ThamesValley Police and the applicant, and included at page 3 of the agenda; and

·         The following additional conditions:

 

 

CD36

A CCTV system shall be installed or the existing system maintained which is fit for the purpose. The system will incorporate a camera covering each of the entrance doors and capable of providing an image which is regarded as ‘identification standard.’

CD38

The CCTV system shall incorporate a recording facility which shall be retained and stored in a suitable and secure manner for a minimum of one calendar month. A system shall be in place to maintain the integrity of the recorded image and a complete audit trail maintained. The system will comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and all signs as required will be clearly displayed. The system will be maintained and fully operational throughout the hours that the premises are open for any licensable activity. For premises using a video recording systems, to maintain the quality of the recorded image the cassette tape shall be used on no more than 12 occasions.

CD39

At the time of installation or upgrading of any CCTV system it shall comply with the current and relevant ThamesValley Police guidelines for Standard Minimum Closed Circuit Television Requirements (Issue 1 July 2004).

CD40

The CCTV system must be notified to the Office of the Information Commissioner, www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk

CD41

The positions of all CCTV cameras shall be clearly shown on the deposited plans and any alteration to the system should only be carried out after consultation with ThamesValley Police and the Licensing Authority.

 

A chain will be provided to cordon off the rear of the premises and prevent persons from congregating. The chain will be in use after 23.00 hours, every night. The exact positioning and location of the chain will be agreed between the premises licence holder and Thames Valley Police and notified in writing with a plan showing the precise location to the Licensing Authority within 28 days of the licence being issued.
