Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
General
We have assessed the risk with regards to the proposed variation of the current licence. Due to the nature of the business carried out at the premises as described on page 3, there are very limited risks associated with the proposed changes, if any. Details of any steps taken outlined are below
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
There is very low risk of any anti-social behaviour by customers due to the nature of the premises. NB: Chutney’s will co-operate with the police on days such as Whit Friday and Saddleworth Beer Walk and take counsel from them at each occasion)
Digital CCTV WILL be provided in the form of a recordable system, capable of providing pictures of EVIDENTIAL QUALITY in all lighting conditions. Cameras shall encompass all ingress and egress to the premises, fire exits and all areas where the sale/ supply of alcohol occurs.
Equipment MUST be maintained in good working order, be correctly time and date stamped, recordings MUST be kept in date order, numbered sequentially and kept for a period of 31 days and handed to Police on demand.
The Premises Licence Holder must ensure at all times a DPS or appointed member of staff is capable and competent at downloading CCTV footage in a recordable format ie DISC to the Police/Local Authority on demand.
The Recording equipment and tapes/discs shall be kept in a secure environment under the control of the DPS or other responsible named individual. An operational daily log report must be maintained endorsed by signature, indicating the system has been checked and is compliant, in the event of any failings actions taken are to be recorded.
In the event of technical failure of the CCTV equipment the Premises Licence holder/DPS MUST report the failure to the Police or Council Licensing immediately.
The CCTV shall be a system that is approved by a Greater Manchester Police Crime Reduction Advisor and is working to a satisfactory standard.
The CCTV shall be in use and recording at all times the business is open.
Public Safety
Nothing Beyond Existing Health & Safety And Fire Safety Requirements.
The Prevention of Public Nuisance
In terms of potential noise arising from the playing of recorded music, this will be VERY low risk. The purpose of the music is to add to the ambiance of Chutney’s and will be played inside the premises only. Chutney’s will close at 21:00PM and so noise should not effect or cause disturbance for any residential neighbours, and the shop / café will not trade in normal sleeping periods (23:30PM - 07:00AM). There should be no noise directly from the premises, or arising from the activities of customers leaving the premises. Chutney’s will also be closed hours before other neighbouring licensed premises such as the Uppermill Conservative Club (directly adjoining Chutneys). The addition of tables and chairs in the private courtyard area to the front of the premises, will hopefully increase current trade and encourage a continental style café culture. There is currently provision for a limited number of tables and chairs in this area. We would like to extend this and will serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments. We do not see this will pose any risks to public safety or public nuisance. All customers are in full view of the staff from inside the premises. The furniture will be removed from the private courtyard area at the close of trading every day and put back out at the opening of each day (Weather Permitting)
The Protection on Children from Harm
All staff and potential new staff are internally trained in responsible alcohol retailing and there are regular staff meetings where we discuss the penalties and consequences for under age sales, and Oldham Council’s Challenge 25 scheme and also the PASS accreditation scheme
