Minutes:

The Head of Planning & Regulatory Services submitted a report concerning an application from Mr John Irvin for a Street Trading Consent to trade from a new site outside Carphone Warehouse, Market Street, Oxford.

 

The Licensing Officer presented the report.  She explained that Mr Irvin had been trading in the city since 1982 and that his original site had been near Bonn Square.  Mr Irvin had moved to the site outside Carphone Warehouse for a trial period due to the redevelopment of the Westgate Shopping Centre. The three month trial in the new location has been a success for the applicant and the Council and Mr Irvin has now applied for a twelve month Street Trading Consent.

 

Mr Irvin (the applicant) addressed the Sub-Committee and answered their questions on some points of detail regarding his business.

 

The Sub-Committee then moved to private session. The Licensing Officer then presented the exempt information to the Sub-Committee. 

 

At this point the applicant and Licensing Officers withdrew to allow the Sub-Committee, supported by its Legal Advisor, to deliberate and make its decision in private.

 

Having taken into account all submissions, the Sub-Committee then announced its decision.

 

The Sub Committee resolved to GRANT the street trading consent for a period of 12 months from22 August 2016, subject to the standard conditions applicable to street trading consents.

 

The Sub Committee resolved to GRANT the employment authorisation for employee two.

 

The Sub Committee resolved to GRANT the employment authorisation for employee one subject to attendance at an anger management course.

 

The Sub-Committee resolved to delegate to Licensing Officers the authority to immediately revoke the employment authorisation for employee one if there was a further complaint about that employee.

 

The Chair reminded Mr John Irvin (the applicant) of the expectation placed upon him as the Street Trading license holder to ensure the satisfactory behaviour of all his employees.

 

A letter confirming the Sub-Committee’s decision will be sent to the applicant.
