Craig Hawkings noted that within the report, conditions had been volunteered and agreed by the applicant to adhere to the 4 licensing objectives as set out by the Licensing Act 2003. Councillor Luxton asked at what time children under the age of 18 were allowed in the premises until. Craig Hawkings stated that this would be a question for the applicant. The applicant had no questions for the reporting officer. Mike Ward, applicant, began by making a statement on behalf of the club in relation to the fictitious information that had been spread around regarding the premises. He then said that the club needed to raise funds to ensure the upkeep of the club, the facilities and the green. This additional revenue was important to spend on the green to prevent any injuries occurring to players for example. Mike Ward stated that a couple of years ago, local sport had been encouraged within the village and that this had led to an increase in members and players at the club. This therefore showed a need to raise funds and improve the facilities. The village green was used not just by the club, but also by the village as a whole too, further suggesting that it was in the village’s interest for further revenues to be increased. He then stated the importance of sport on mental health and physical health, especially within children. Mike Ward said that the club were merely applying for the variation to simply increase their revenues in order to help fund these further improvements to the club. A forum had also been held with local residents, themselves, and licensing officers to attempt to aid residents in providing them with information. Carly Gibbons, applicant, then discussed an email that had been sent to Wraysbury Parish Council following a meeting. ... view the full minutes text for item 5. |
