DECISION AND REASON FOR DECISION
Reasons:
Interim Steps:
The Committee have considered the interim steps and with immediate effect, and pending the determination of any appeal, the premises licence is suspended as the Committee considered this to be appropriate, necessary and proportionate to promote the licensing objectives relating to the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety and the prevention of public nuisance for the following reasons:
Police evidence linking the premises to serious crime which has taken place notwithstanding and alongside previous enforcement action, is such that it is necessary to suspend licensable activities during the period in which an appeal might be made and determined.
