Agenda and decisions

None.

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.

There were no declarations of interest.

In summary, the Committee has decided, after taking into account all of the individual circumstances of this case and the promotion of the four licensing objectives to

1.         Suspend the Licence for a period of 3 months;

2.         Modify the conditions as set out below:-

                        Late Night Refreshment -Both Indoors and Outdoors

Sunday to Wednesday 23:00 - 02:00

Thursday to Saturday 23:00 – 03:00

To add the following conditions;

1. Mr Ali Haydar Gumus shall not be employed at the Premises in any capacity of the business at the premises or be involved in the management of licensable activities at the premises either directly or indirectly

2.  The right to work audit to be carried out at unannounced visit not less than 12 times a year and to provide a copy to authorised officers.

This becomes operational with immediate effect.  

A copy of this Committee’s full decision including its reasons and the full text of the conditions added to the licence will be sent to the parties forthwith.

If the Applicant is unhappy with the decision they are entitled to appeal to the magistrates’ court within 21 days from the date of notification of the full decision.
