A
Right
good
morning,
everybody
and
welcome
to
this
remote
meeting
of
the
licensing
subcommittee.
My
name
is
andy
booth
from
governance,
services
and
I'll
be
clarking.
The
meeting
this
morning
under
agenda
item
number
one
council
hutcheson
was
elected
as
chair
prior
to
the
start
of
the
hearing.
Can
I
just
ask
that
all
members
are
agreeable
to
this
yep
there's
a
nod
from
councillor
bethel.
So
can
I
pass.
B
A
C
Yeah
thanks
andy
so
good
morning,
everybody
welcome
to
this
remote
hearing
of
the
licensing
subcommittee.
My
name
is
councillor
andrew
hutcherson
and
I
will
be
chairing
today's
hearing
before
I
proceed
further.
Could
I
remind
everyone
that
today's
meeting
is
being
streamed,
live
on
the
city
council's
youtube
channel?
Could
I
ask
the
following
members
of
the
subcommittee
to
introduce
themselves?
Please
we
have
that
counselor
bethel.
C
Thank
you
and
councillor
windham.
C
C
Even
though
members
of
the
panel
are
in
remote
attendance,
while
items
today
will
be
fully
discussed,
as
is
usual,
remote
attendance
requires
a
few
slight
changes
as
to
how
how
I
will
manage
the
debate.
Therefore,
can
all
attendees
need
their
microphones
unless
I
invite
them
to
speak,
this
will
avoid
disruption
from
background
noise.
Can
all
participants
please
keep
their
cameras
on
during
the
hearing,
and
all
participants
will
be
invited
to
introduce
themselves
at
the
start
of
the
hearing
to
make
it
clear
to
public
observers
who
will
be
involved
in
the
proceedings?
C
E
C
Thanks
matthew,
andy
booth
for
governing
services.
C
Thanks
andy,
and
could
I
ask
the
applicant
or
I
believe,
just
their
representative,
please
to
introduce
themselves.
I
believe
that
rebecca
ingram.
B
C
And
I
think,
just
for
the
record
elizabeth,
the
applicant
is
apologized
on
she's,
not
feeling
too
well
today,.
B
That's
right
chair.
Yes,
she
asked
me
to
extend
her
apologies
to
the
committee.
She
she
had
an
accident
some
time
ago,
which
required
some
spinal
surgery
she's
all
right,
but
she
she
struggles
from
time
to
time
and
today,
unfortunately,
it's
not
a
very
good
day,
she's
really
struggling.
So
she's
asked
me
to
continue
on
her
behalf,
provided
of
course,
that
the
committee
are
happy
for
me
to
do
so.
A
Thank
you,
chair
right
back
to
the
agenda
under
item
number
two.
There
are
no
appeals
against
the
refusal
of
inspection
of
documents
under
agenda
item
number.
Three:
there's
no
exempt
information
on
the
agenda
today
under
agenda
item
number
four:
there
are
no
late
items
and
under
agenda
item
number
five
could
ask
members
if
they
have
any
disclosable
pecuniary
interest
to
declare.
D
C
Okay,
thanks
counselor
winner,
okay
agenda
item
number:
six,
which
is
the
application
for
the
renewal
of
a
sex
establishment
license
for
silks
to
sovereign
place,
leads,
and
could
the
legal
adviser
to
the
subcommittee
outline
the
procedure
for
the
hearing?
Please
thanks
rob.
E
Thank
you
councillor,
but
just
get
my
script.
E
E
Our
usual
procedure
for
such
applications
is
that
the
applicant
addresses
the
committee
first
other
parties,
whether
in
support
or
in
opposition,
then
address
the
committee
and
the
applicant
has
the
chance
to
respond
to
anything
said
by
those
other
parties.
As
I
understand
it,
there
are
no
objections
to
this
renewal
application
by
any
of
the
responsible
authorities
or
by
any
other
person
in
making
the
determination.
E
The
overriding
principle
will
be
that
each
application
is
determined
on
its
own
merits,
taking
into
account
local
knowledge,
the
licensing
policy
and
the
guidance
issued
by
the
home
office,
where
it
is
necessary
to
depart
from
the
guidance
or
the
policy.
The
subcommittee
will
give
clear
and
cogent
reasons
for
doing
so.
E
The
regulations
permit
the
subcommittee
to
set
a
time
limit
on
presentations
providing
the
same
time.
Limit
is
applied
to
all
parties
a
usual
time
limit
is
15
minutes
per
party,
and
applicants
can
split
their
allocation
between
an
initial
presentation
and
then
are
summing
up
at
the
end
after
any
questions
from
members.
E
In
this
case,
however,
there
are
no
other
parties
and
mozingra
may
wish
to
make
her
presentation
in
one
go.
Could
you
could
you
indicate
which
you
would
prefer
please.
B
E
After
your
presentation,
the
subcommittee
members
may
wish
to
ask
questions
the
time
for
questions
to
be
asked
and
answered
is
in
addition
to
the
time
limit
set
for
the
presentation,
parties
may
request
permission
to
call
witnesses.
Can
I
ask
miss
ingram
if
the
applicant
wishes
to
call
any
witnesses
today.
E
Thank
you.
All
documents
that
have
been
submitted
have
been
copied
and
circulated
to
the
subcommittee
in
advance.
Can
I
just
confirm
that
we
all
have
the
same
original
pack
with
the
agenda
report
to
the
subcommittee
concerning
this
application
with
appendices.
It
should
comprise
70
pages.
C
E
Okay,
please
note
your
presentation
is
your
only
opportunity
to
address
the
subcommittee,
so
you
need
to
make
sure
that
you've
included
in
your
presentation,
everything
that
you
wish
to
say
and
have
taken
into
account
after
your
presentation
and
after
any
questions,
the
members
will
consider
whether
they
have
all
the
information
they
require
to
make
a
decision.
E
Once
this
point
is
reached
members,
the
committee
will
go
into
a
private
session.
If
members
have
any
additional
questions
to
ask,
they
will
return
to
the
meeting
to
ask
those
questions
before
then.
Returning
back
to
the
private
session
to
make
their
decision
can
all
parties
please
remain
in
the
meeting
until
they're
asked
to
leave
all
the
parties
will
be
informed
once
the
hearing
has
ended
and
will
be
advised
to
the
decision
in
writing
within
five
working
days
today.
E
C
Thanks
rob,
okay,
so
matthew,
who
could
the
licensing
officer
present
the
application?
Please.
F
So
the
hours
of
operation
10
pm
until
4
am
sunday
thursday
at
10
pm
until
5
00
pm
friday
and
saturday,
and
this
is
in
line
with
the
existing
license.
F
Members
attention
is
drawn
to
a
copy
of
the
application
form
which
is
attached
to
appendix
b
on
page
23
of
the
report
also
attached.
But
this
time
appendix
c
on
page
35
is
additional
documents
supplied
with
the
application.
F
This
includes
the
dancers
welfare
policy,
the
dancer's
code
of
conduct,
the
customer's
code
of
conduct,
the
pricing
policy
and
trade
union
details.
Also
consideration
for
members
is
external
appearance
and
all
methods
of
advertising
which
can
be
found
at
appendix
date.
On
page
57
of
the
report,
members
should
note
that
there
is
a
legal
requirement
to
consider
the
application,
regardless
of
the
receipt
of
representations.
F
So
the
current
statement
of
licensing
policy
for
sex
establishments
states
that
there
is
the
appropriate
number
of
sexual
entertainment
venues
in
the
city
centre,
which
is
set
to
a
maximum
of
four
and
providing
that
these
premises
are
not
near
properties
with
sensitive
uses
or
insensitive
locations
to
assist
members,
a
list
of
sensitive
premises
and
sensitive
locations,
as
determined
by
the
policy
at
6.3
and
6.4.
The
report
we
have
included
a
map
to
identify
sensitive
premises
within
the
area
which
can
be
found
appendix
f
on
page
63..
F
C
B
Thank
you
very
much
chair
yes
good
morning.
Everyone,
as
per
your
agenda
report
silks,
has
been
trading
as
a
sexual
entertainment
venue
at
this
same
location
since
around
2009,
and
it's
been
licensed
under
this
regime
since
2011..
B
Since
then,
the
license
has
been
renewed
annually
every
year
and
that
has
been
as
one
of
the
the
maximum
of
four
that
mr
nelson
has
just
referred
to.
B
The
license
has
been
renewed
on
the
same
basis
as
that
applied
for
today
year
on
year,
since,
as
I
say,
2011.,
nothing
has
changed
in
relation
to
this
suv,
since
the
license
was
last
renewed
and
obviously
it
was
a
little
little
more
than
a
year
ago,
due
to
the
the
lockdown
we've
all
been
experiencing,
but
nothing
has
changed
in
that
time.
B
As
per
your
report,
and
as
mr
nelson
has
just
highlighted,
there
have
been
no
objections
whatsoever
to
this
application,
as
has
often
been
the
case
in
relation
to
the
renewal
of
this
particular
suv.
License,
there's
been
no
comments
whatsoever
from
west
yorkshire,
police
and
indeed,
as
far
as
I'm
aware,
they
never
have
been
in
relation
to
any
of
the
renewals
that
have
taken
place
for
this
site.
B
We
would
submit
that
that
is
because
this
premises
is,
and
always
has
been
in
an
entirely
appropriate
locality
for
an
suv.
Mr
nelson's
referred
to
the
the
map
of
sensitive
locations,
which
is
contained
within
your
agenda
papers,
and
the
premises
is
not
located
next
to
any
sensitive
uses
or
localities.
B
I
think
the
nearest
identifiable
location
there
is
is
sovereign
square
park.
The
policy
refers
to
to
parks
and
to
play
areas
and
so
areas
sort
of
frequented
more
regularly
by
children.
B
This
is
more
of
sort
of
an
open,
green
space
within
sort
of
a
number
of
office
blocks
around
the
area
and
there's
never
been
an
issue
in
terms
of
propriety
for
this
particular
premises,
and
we
would
submit
that
it
continues
to
be
an
appropriate
locality.
B
The
premises
is
appropriate
in
layout
in
external
appearance,
and
we
would
submit
in
in
all
other
aspects
for
use
as
an
suv
as
such,
we
would
respectfully
submit
that
the
appropriate
and
proportionate
course
of
action
here
would
be
to
grant
this
application
as
applied
for
as
per
the
standard
conditions.
B
We
would
submit
that
the
lack
of
representation,
and
indeed
the
application
in
itself,
demonstrates
that
here
there
aren't
any
mandatory
nor
discretionary
grounds
for
the
refusal
of
this
application,
and
as
such,
we
would
respectfully
ask
the
committee
to
grant
it
unless
there
are
any
queries
or
concerns
that
I
can
help
the
committee
with.
That's
really
all
that
I
intend
to
say
this
morning.
B
C
Thanks
miss
ingram.
Do
any
sub
committee
members
have
any
questions.
D
Thank
you
chair,
just
a
really
quick
one,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
do
when
we
look
through
these
licenses
is
to
look
through
all
of
the
policies
and
in
a
lot
of
the
policies
it
consistently
refers
to
the
women
working
there
as
girls.
D
Can
we
take
back
to
mrs
morris,
please
that
referring
to
them
as
women
in
policies
would
potentially
be
more
appropriate.
Please.
B
Absolutely
counselor
yeah,
that's
no
problem
at
all.
I
will
feed
that
straight
back
to
my
client
and
she's
very
happy
to
take
on
board
any
any
comments
from
the
committee.
So
I'll
ask
her
to
have
a
look
at
those
policies
as
a
matter
of
urgency
and
make
those
revisions.
C
B
Yeah,
it's
a
bit
of
a
difficult
one
chair.
It's
it's
sort
of
in
the
hands,
as
a
lot
of
things
are
at
the
moment,
it's
obviously
in
the
hands
of
central
government.
We
haven't
had
either
in
relation
to
this
premises,
specifically
or
sort
of
more
widely
any
particular
indication
of
when
we
might
expect
covert,
secure
restrictions
to
be
lifted
for
suvs
or
sort
of
for
nightclubs
in
general.
B
So
it's
all
a
bit
up
in
the
air
for
my
clients
at
the
moment,
they
they
will
be
keen
to
open
sort
of
as
soon
as
they're
able
to
and
as
and
when
they
are
able
to
we'll
be
assisting
them
with
them.
A
covered,
secure
risk
assessment,
as
we
have
been
with
sort
of
the
bar
and
restaurant
clients
that
we
have
that
are
reopened
already.
B
So
it's
a
bit
of
a
case
of
wait
and
see,
but
there
will
be
a
covered,
secure
risk
assessment
and
policies
and
procedures
in
place
as
and
when
they
are
able
to
open.
C
Okay,
thanks
for
that,
so
any
other
questions
or
that
have
come
up
from
any
subcommittee
members.
Nothing
nothing
at
all.
Okay
in
that
case
subcommittee,
will
now
move
to
a
private
session
to
deliberate
on
the
application.
Could
I
ask
that
all
parties,
including
the
applicant
and
their
representative
and
the
licensing
officer,
remain
available?
Should
the
subcommittee
have
any
additional
questions
and
if
there
are
any
additional
questions,
you'll
be
invited
back
into
the
meeting
by
the
clerk.
A
A
A
C
Thanks
everybody
back
in
the
room:
yeah!
Okay,
thank
you,
everybody
for
your
attendance.
The
decision
has
been
made
in
the
during
the
deliberation
and
the
decision
will
be
informed
to
the
applicant
within
five
working
days,
and
that
concludes
the
business
for
today.
Thanks
everybody
for
your
time,.
