Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
General
The subject premises will apply a standard of operation, which will ensure compliance with all four licensing objectives, based upon factors more particularly outlined below.
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
The style of Operation at these premises is designed to minimise Crime and Disorder. This is achieved by the use of CCTV, with the retention of tapes for a minimum period of 31 days for prosecution purposes. The premises benefit solely from the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises. These premises operate ‘challenge 21’ policy in order to ensure that liquor is sold only to persons of lawful age (being that, should a person not look the age of 21 then he/she would need to prove they are in fact of lawful age 18 or over). These issues also overlap on the section dealing with protection of children from harm. All staff undergo training concerning knowledge of Licensing Laws together with social impact upon the sale of alcohol.
Public Safety
The issue of ‘challenge 21’ in order to ensure lawful sales of alcohol, is already referred to in the section above dealing with prevention of crime and disorder which should be equally referred to in this section. These premises purely operate for the consumption of liquor off the premises.

The premises are registered for consumption of liquor off the premises only. In addition to there being no consumption on the premises, there is no form of entertainment on the premises. There are no outdoor areas utilised for the benefit of members of the public and the nature of the operation does not require the employment of door supervisors or use of dedicated cab firms. The premises operate within the required litter/refuse regulation adopted by the Local Council. The management policy at the premises is to welcome communication with any local persons in relation to any issues, which arise concerning the operation of these premises.
The Protection of Children from Harm
The premises benefit from a Liquor Licence for consumption off the premises only. In order to ensure compliance with legislation, the Company operate a ‘challenge 21’ policy whereby any person not looking the age of 21 must prove that they are in fact over the lawful age of 18 for the purpose of sale of alcohol.
