With reference to article 9 of the minute of meeting of the Licensing Committee of 26 March 2021, the Sub Committee had before it an information sheet prepared by the Chief Officer – Governance in respect of the application which advised that four letters of representation had been received and that the application had to be determined by 29 November 2021.

Mr Munro, Legal Advisor, provided the Sub Committee with a verbal update on the application advising that Landowner consent had been received.

Officers circulated (on screen) a street location map for the application.

The licence holder, Mr Douglas Durno was in attendance and spoke in support of the application and responded to questions from members. 

At this juncture, Councillor Malik indicated that he had to leave the meeting, therefore he took no further part in the proceedings for this application.

Two of the respondents, Ms Heather Wilson and Ms Sonia Scaife spoke in support of their letters of representation, which objected to the application and responded to questions from members.

All parties summed up.

The Sub Committee resolved:-

(i)       to refuse the licence on the grounds that the location of the premises was not in a suitable location; and

(ii)       that officers provide street maps identifying the location of all future Street Trader Licence applications being considered by the Licensing Committee and its Sub Committee.
