The Panel considered a report which outlined an application for the grant of a premises licence, T’Wine Bar, 20 Holmfirth Road, Meltham, HD9 4ES.

Sale of Alcohol (both on and off the premises)

Monday – Sunday 11:00 – 23:00

Monday – Sunday 11:00 – 23:00

Recorded music (both indoors and outdoors)

Monday – Sunday 11:00 – 23:00

The applicant also applied by means of a seasonal variation, to extend the sale of alcohol hours on Bank Holidays to 24:00 hours.

In response to this application, a total of four representations were received from Environmental Health’s Noise Pollution, two local ward Members and Public Health.  The representations expressed their concern in relation to noise and public nuisance and anti-social behaviour.

Prior to the hearing, the applicant supplied the Panel with updated information which included an amendment to the requested hours as follows: -

Sale of Alcohol

Wednesday to Thursday 16:00 – 2100

Friday to Saturday 16:00 – 23:00

The applicant advised the Panel that T’Wine Bar had previously had the benefit of nine Temporary Event Notices (TEN) for the sale of alcohol, and during these periods no complaints had been received.  Details of the TEN’s were appended to the considered report.

The applicant informed the Panel that there was no intention to open the bar from 11:00 hours to 23:00 hours seven days a week, as he had another job and intended to open the bar on the updated limited days and times when it would be the busiest to ensure profitability.

Responding to concerns raised by the representations, the applicant advised the Panel that he understood the concerns in relation to noise emanating from the property and would do his utmost to ensure this was kept to a minimum.  In relation to anti-social behaviour, the applicant explained that the premises was a different type of establishment and had a different clientele, being a smaller premises than those already in the town and therefore less likely to attract anti-social behaviour.
