To consider an application for a variation of a premises licence in respect of ‘MRH Ledbury, The Homend, Ledbury. HR8 1BS’.

Members of the licensing sub committee of the council’s planning and regulatory committee considered the above application, full details of which appeared before the Members in their agenda and the background papers.

Prior to making their decision the members heard from Emma Bowell, technical licensing officer; Leah Wilson, trading standards officer, DS Duncan Reynold, West Mercia Police and Robert Botkai, the applicant’s agent.  

Trading standards, the police and the applicant’s agent reported that during conversations which were held outside of the meeting room, agreement had been reached as to the modified conditions for the premises licence meaning that both trading standards and the police were, in effect, willing to withdraw their representations.  

DECISION

The sub committee’s decision is to grant the variation to the licence with the modified conditions as agreed.

REASONS

The committee had taken into account the representations and that it was necessary for a committee meeting to be convened.    The sub-committee noted that it was unfortunate that these conditions had not been agreed prior to the commencement of the sub-committee as this had necessitated in a meeting being convened.
