Agenda and decisions

That the application for a New Premises Licence by Chesterfield Borough Council in respect of Market Place and New Square, Chesterfield S40 1AH be granted in accordance with the application, subject to:

1.      The original committee report from 13.09.2023 references a volunteered condition from the applicant at paragraph 3.4. The condition identifies that an event management plan would be completed for events where no Chesterfield Borough Council staff would be in attendance, where a third party would conduct activities under the premises licence and licensable activities would take place.

a.      The applicant has updated the application and there will now be an appropriately qualified Chesterfield Borough Council Staff member on duty at all events where licensable activity takes place. This reference would need to be amended before adding this condition to the premises licence.

b.      The applicant identified that such events would require the completion of a contract between the third-party user/hirer and the premises licence holder. The Licensing Authority asked that the contract be referenced in the licence but not added to it, allowing modification of the contract without the need to vary the premises licence. This reference would need to be amended before adding this condition to the premises licence.

2.      The original committee report from 13.09.2023 references an agreed condition at paragraph 4.16 between the police and the applicant.

a.      This condition related to the requirement for event management plans to be completed for events where “on” sales of alcohol would take place. This was amended to “on and off” sales. This reference would need to be amended before adding this condition to the premises licence.

b.      Any such event management plan would be required from the premises licence user no less than 14 days before the event and would be shared with Derbyshire Police licensing. At the request of the Licensing Authority, the event management plan would also be shared with the Chesterfield Borough Council’s Licensing Team. This reference would need to be amended before adding this condition to the premises licence.

3.      Andrew Bond, the Chesterfield Borough Council town centre operations manager would be identified as the designated premises supervisor for this application.
