DECISION AND REASONS FOR DECISION

 

After considering the application and all representations (written and as presented at the meeting) the Sub Committee determined that the grant of the licence with conditions consistent with the operating schedule, as amended on pages 4 to 6 of the applicant’s bundle, would not undermine any of the licensing objectives.   The Sub Committee acknowledged the concerns of objectors but did not have any evidence before it that the grant of the licence would undermine the licensing objectives and no additional steps or conditions were appropriate in this case for the promotion of the licensing objectives.
