Mr Erik Muller (Applicant) attended the meeting and presented his case.

 

At this point the Sub Committee, accompanied by its Legal Advisor and Committee Secretary, withdrew to deliberate and make its decision in private.

 

Having taken into account all submissions, both written and oral, the Sub Committee then returned and announced its decision.

 

The Sub Committee was satisfied that the application met the criteria outlined in the Street Trading Policy. It noted that there were no adverse representations. The Sub Committee was mindful that the proposed site was a busy and potentially congested area, and that therefore it was necessary and proportionate to add a condition stating that advertising A-boards must not be used on this site.

 

Resolved to GRANT the application as applied for, subject to the standard conditions applicable to street trading consents, with an operating time from 5pm to 11pm; and with an additional condition stating that there must be no use of A-boards at this street trading site.

Minutes of the meeting held on 10th February attached

Minutes:

Resolved to confirm as a correct record the minutes of the meeting held on 10th February 2014, with the following comments:

 

Minute 49 – Street Trading site outside 65 St Giles.

 

Councillor Royce reported that she had seen up to three A-boards at this pitch, plus a container of umbrellas; and she felt this was causing congestion in what was already a crowded area.

 

Licensing Officers will investigate and give advice to the consent holder as necessary, and will email Councillors with the outcome.

 

Location maps supplied with applications

 

Councillor Royce asked that location maps, supplied with applications, be made clearer and more detailed.

 

Samantha Howell advised that maps were the responsibility of the applicant as it was important that they made a clear and detailed application. However, it was possible for the licensing authority to supply a map if this would help and she will investigate this and see what can be done to improve clarity.

 

61.

Matters exempt from publication

If the Sub Committee wishes to exclude the press and the public from the meeting during consideration of any aspects of the preceding agenda items it will be necessary for the Sub Committee to pass a resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 specifying the grounds on which their presence could involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as described in specific paragraphs of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act if and so long, as in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
