Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Regeneration and Local Services which asked Members to consider and determine the application for a Personal Licence.

Members were informed that the Applicant was not in attendance.

The Licensing Team Leader contacted the Applicant who had not submitted a written representation and he confirmed that he had overlooked the date and time of the hearing and requested a further opportunity to attend in person. The Sub-Committee considered that the Applicant should not be given a further opportunity to attend and refused the request to adjourn the hearing.

Following representations from Durham Constabulary, Members noted that the Applicant had been convicted of a relevant criminal offence.

At 1.40 p.m. the Sub-Committee retired to deliberate the application in private and after re-convening at 1.45 p.m. the Chair delivered the Sub-Committee’s decision. In reaching their decision Members had taken into account the report of the Licensing Team Leader which included details of the relevant offence, Section 182 Guidance issued by the Secretary of State.

Resolved:

That the Personal Licence be revoked.
