Review of a Street Trading Consent – Mr Matthew Barlow and Mr Timothy Chapple The Head of Environmental Development has submitted a report seeking determination of an application to review a Street Trading Consent located on Broad Street.
The Licensing & Registration Sub Committee is requested to review the Street Trading Consent held by Mr Matthew Barlow and Timothy Chapple for the Street Trading Site located on Broad Street in light of complaints received; taking into account the details in this report and any representations made at this Sub Committee meeting. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Head of Environmental Development submitted a report which reviewed a street trading consent on Broad Street, after receiving complaints of excessive noise and smells.
The Licensing Officer presented the report to the Sub Committee.
Aiden Meller (Objector) attended the meeting and presented his case.
Tim Chapple and Matthew Barlow (Consent holders) attended the meeting and presented their 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 felt that on balance there was insufficient evidence to suggest a significant problem or nuisance exists. The licence should therefore continue.
They noted that planning policy was continually evolving and that the Council’s long term vision for Broad St was to create a boutique, high class shopping experience. This vision is shown in the short term license that the consent holders has (which ends in March 2015).
The Sub-Committee also recommended that the consent holder discuss with the Council’s Food Safety team the options available to reduce cooking smells.
The Sub-Committee resolved to ALLOW the licence to continue. A written confirmation will be sent to the consent holder in due course. |
