With reference to article 22 of appendix B of the minute of the meeting of the Licensing Committee of 12 September 2017, the Sub Committee had before it an information note prepared by the Head of Legal and Democratic Services in respect of the application which advised that the application had to be determined by 2 November 2017.

The applicant was in attendance and spoke in support of the application.
