The four licensing objectives were:

·       Public safety.

·       The prevention of public nuisance.

·       The protection of children from harm.

In this case the representations received from the responsible authorities were as follows;

·       Environmental Health: None

·       RBFRS: None.

·       Planning Officer: None.

·       Local Safeguarding Children's Board (LSCB): None.

·       Public Health: None.

·       Trading Standards: None.

·       Thames Valley Police: Representation.

·       RBWM Licensing: None.

2 Representations had been received altogether, one from a resident and one from Thames Valley Police, which were in appendix C.
