Declarations of Interest

If a Councillor has a disclosable pecuniary interest in a particular item, whether or not it is entered in the Authority’s register of interests, or any other significant interest which they consider should be declared in the public interest, they should declare the existence and, unless it is a sensitive interest as defined in the Member Code of Conduct, the nature of the interest at the commencement of the consideration of that item or as soon as it becomes apparent.

 

At meetings where members of the public are allowed to be in attendance and speak, any Councillor with a disclosable pecuniary interest or other significant interest may also make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter. The Councillor must then withdraw immediately from the meeting before the matter is discussed and any vote taken.

 

Where Members of the public are not allowed to be in attendance and speak, then the Councillor with a disclosable pecuniary interest should withdraw from the meeting whilst the matter is under consideration. Councillors who have declared other significant interests should also withdraw from the meeting if they consider their continued participation in the matter would not be reasonable in the circumstances and may give rise to a perception of a conflict of interest.

 

Councillors are not obliged to withdraw from the meeting where a dispensation to that effect has been obtained from the Standards Committee.

Decision:

The Committee was scheduled to consider an application for a Review of the premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Application”) on 4 October 2022. The Application was made by the Council’s Licensing Authority (“the Applicant”).

 

The Committee decided that it was in the interests of a fair hearing and public interest to adjourn the hearing.

 

Reasons

 

The Committee has the power under Regulation 11 of the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005 to extend a time limit where it considers this to be necessary in the public interest.

 

On 3 October 2022, the Licensing team were contacted by the Licence Holder who submitted an expert Noise and Nuisance report.   The Council’s Noise and Nuisance Officer works part-time for the Council and therefore had insufficient time to properly review and respond to the report.  He confirmed that he needed further time to properly consider the same.   The Committee also noted that the Licensing team requested further time to verify the dates, time and location of the video evidence submitted by the representative of residents in support of the Application. The Licensing Officer at the hearing confirmed that in the event that the adjournment was granted that he would like to use that time to progress discussion in respect of the conditions proposed with all parties.  The Licence Holder’s representative stated that he was encouraged to hear this and also agreed to the adjournment request.  It was noted that all parties were contacted prior to the meeting and the vast majority were agreeable to an adjournment.  

 

It was decided in the interests of fairness and public interest to allow further time to all parties to address the issues raised in the new noise report, verify video footage and to progress discussions between all parties in respect of the new proposed conditions as submitted by the Licensing Officer. 

 

A new hearing date will be arranged in agreement with all parties and will be provided with 10 clear days’ notice of the reconvened hearing as soon as possible.
