The Parties:

The premises user Mr Erdogan has submitted a Temporary Event Notice for 30 November 2019 from 2100hrs until 0500hrs the following day for the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises, late night refreshment and for regulated entertainment at The Assembly Rooms, Market Place, Boston.

Objection notices have been received from the Chief Officer of Police and Environmental Health.

Policy and Guidance:

In reaching its decision, the sub-committee has considered the statutory guidance issued under S182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and Boston Borough Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy.

Licensing Objectives:

The sub-committee has found that the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance and protection of children from harm

are relevant to this application. 

Decision: 

The sub-committee has decided to impose the premises licence conditions (as detailed on pages 55-57of the report, with the exception of Annex 2, (e), paragraph 4) on the Temporary Event Notice (TEN) applied for.

Therefore the applicant had to apply for a TEN to be able to run his event night. The sub-committee was informed that a previous TEN had been granted with the premises licence conditions attached in September, and heard from the applicant and Lincolnshire Police how there had been no issues or incidents associated with the event.

The applicant confirmed to the sub-committee how this event will be for over 18’s only, how everyone will be ID’d and how he had undertaken a risk assessment and fire risk assessment. When questioned he further confirmed that signage will be displayed at the premises encouraging patrons to leave respectfully and SIA door staff will be employed.
