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 been placed on the agenda as it required to be determined by 11 December 2017, and to date the applicant had not passed the required street knowledge test.

Mr Munro, Legal Advisor, provided the Sub Committee with a verbal update on the application.

The Sub Committee heard from the applicant, who advised that he would undertake a street knowledge test on Monday 4 December 2017 and if he failed the test, he would withdraw his application.

The Sub Committee resolved:

(i)         to defer consideration of the application to allow the applicant to undertake the street knowledge test on Monday 4 December 2017 and to agree that should the applicant pass the street knowledge test, the Head of Legal and Democratic Services could grant the application under delegated powers;

(ii)        to note that the applicant would withdraw his application if he failed the street knowledge test on Monday 4 December 2017; and

(iii)       to refer the application to a further meeting of the Licensing Urgent Business Sub Committee prior to 11 December in the event the applicant failed to pass the street knowledge test and did not subsequently withdraw the application.
