Minutes:
Consideration was given to the report of the Corporate Director, Neighbourhood Services which gave details of an application for the grant of a premises licence in respect of The Riverside and Walled Garden, Lambton Park, Chester-le-Street (for copy see file of minutes).
Plans showing the location and the layout of the premises and a copy of the application had been circulated to Members together with copies of representations which had been received from Interested Parties.
The Senior Licensing Officer presented the report and advised the Sub-Committee that a mediation meeting had been held on 4 February 2012 as detailed in the Biddick Hall application and the circulated document was also relevant for this application.
She also advised the Sub-Committee that Durham Constabulary had negotiated with the Applicant’s agent an additional condition to be attached to the operating schedule, details of which had been circulated.
Mr McCallum advised the Sub-Committee that he had no objections to the application.
Mr Wilson advised the Sub-Committee that it was a large outdoor area known as ‘the Bottoms’ which could be used for activities. He indicated that there was a large structure in the walled garden which in the future could be used for civil weddings. As this area was in the valley any noise would be contained so he believed that this would not give rise to noise issues. Access arrangements for this site were the same as Lambton Castle.
At 1.05 pm the Sub-Committee left to deliberate the application in private. After reconvening at 1.15 pm the Chair delivered the Sub-Committee’s decision.
In determining the application, Members had considered the report of the Licensing Officer, Section 182 Guidance and the Council’s Licensing Policy, together with the verbal representations of the Applicant. They also took into account the verbal and written representations of Interested Parties.
