The Parties:
The Licensing Sub-Committee convened to
consider an application for the transfer of a premises licence
where an objection has been received.
At the hearing the Sub-Committee heard from
Anna McDowell (Senior Licensing Officer), Ms McDowell advised the
Sub-Committee that during the period between the objection being
received, and the date of the hearing, the original applicant had
advised of the impending sale of the business. Following this the
new company director was asked to provide documentary evidence of
their purchase of the business and subsequently provided documents
including a new lease agreement, contract of sale, and proof of
payment of the first months' rent.
Taking the new information into consideration,
Lincolnshire Police have advised that whilst they have concerns
regarding the timings and timeline of the change of directors, the
legitimacy of the sale, and whether the original applicant would
have nothing more to do with the premises, that following these
submissions they do not have exceptional concerns with the new
director and therefore withdraw their objection.
In line with the requirements of the Act where
an objection is withdrawn later than 24 hours before the day on
which the hearing is to be held it must be withdrawn at the hearing
and the Sub-Committee therefore determined to dispense with the
hearing and accept that the application is automatically
granted.
