Minutes: In arriving at its decision, the Sub-Committee took into account the relevant representations submitted both in writing and orally at the hearing. The Sub-Committee was also made aware that the following were relevant:
Guildford Borough Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy · Section 4 – Fundamental Principles · Section 10 –Temporary Event Notices · Section 12.4 – The Licensing Objectives – Prevention of a public nuisance
National Guidance Issued by the Secretary of State under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003: · Paragraphs 2.14 to 2.20 – Public Nuisance · Paragraphs 7.1 to 7.40 – Temporary Event Notices.
The Sub-Committee received a report from the Licensing Officer and noted that a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) had been received on 16 October 2016 from Mr Richard Jaehme. The notification was submitted within the correct periods and had been accepted as a valid notice. The event was scheduled to take place on Saturday 29 October 2016 from 14:00 to 02:00 Sunday 30 October 2016. The licensable activities applied for were the sale by retail of alcohol and the provision of regulated entertainment and the proposed event was for a DJ for up to 450 people. Loud music would terminate at 00:00hrs and ambient music would terminate at 02:00. The event would take place in the southeast corner of a field off High Barn Road, Effingham. The field was private and did not hold a premises licence. Only one TEN had been held at this site previously, by a different premises user, the event terminated at 21:00 with no complaints received, and was not relevant to the consideration of this TEN.
On 19 October 2016, Environmental Health served a notice of objection in relation to the TEN based on their concern that the ‘prevention of public nuisance’ licensing objective would not be met. The objection related to a concern that there was a high probability that the event’s emphasis on bass beat would mean that it would be audible at noise sensitive neighbouring properties.
The Sub-Committee noted that TENs allow licensable activities to be carried out without the need for a premises licence. Events carried on under the authority of a temporary event notice are not subject to the conditions on the premises licence unless the Sub-Committee imposed conditions.
The Sub-Committee noted the following points made on behalf of the applicant, by Mr Richard Jaehme:
· He intended to run a Halloween themed party for 400 people from 14:00 to 02:00 on 29 – 30 October 2016. · Coaches would take batches of fifty people at a time from the Keystone pub, Guildford to the field at High Barn, Effingham. · A security firm called ‘Risk Solutions’ had been employed to assist the management of the event. One security officer would be assigned to each coach. · Attendees would be dropped off outside by coach and walk up an illuminated track to the event. · When people arrived onsite, they would initially be contained in a section of the field, partitioned by post and rope, so that they could be easily ... view the full minutes text for item 4. |
