Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
The Prevention Of Crime & Disorder
To the rear of the property we have erected a 6 foot fence and our property is under CCTV which also covers a rear alleyway. We have consulted police and local residents and intend to apply for alleygates.
Since the refurbishment on our business, youths have ceased from concregating to the rear much to the delight of residents. We intend to comply fully with police recommendations.
Public Safety
Our general hours of opening should be 07:00am to 15:30pm, only on 2 - 3 Occasions per month shall the café be opened later. When we open later the front and rear of the building will be lit well to prevent any accidents through dark and relevant signage will be erected. Front and rear CCTV will be in operation and co-operation with the residents will be operated. Co-operation with police and relevant authority is ongoing. Alcohol will only be served to over 18s and people who are not or appear not to be drunk.
Staff training will be given.
The Prevention Of Public Nuisance
Music on our premises will be only to create ambience. We aim to erect signs outside our property to (Respect Neighbours When Leaving). I aim to train my staff fully to identify potential problems that could that could arise when leavng my business. I am an ex police officer and have training behind me to deal with this (although our café will be aimed at a certain clients i.e couples & families)

Where there are any offensive smells created on the premises, provision shall be made for such smells to be vented from the premises so that they do not cause a nuisance to nearby premises.

The Protection Of Children From Harm
I aim to train my staff fully in identifying under age people i.e under 18. The risk of prosecution will hang over my staff and myself if we do not address this issue. My policy will be to have a series of questions to ask and either a driving licence, passport or challenge 21 policy will be put into operation.
Ongoing training will be a must!
No Proof No Sale!
