Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with operating schedule
General
I am aware of the four licensing objectives and will always uphold them.
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
The DPS and or a personal licence holder to be present on the premises at all times whilst it is open for business on a Friday and Saturday evening. (PLH to risk assess whether this is necessary at other times)
The DPS to give the police 7 days’ notice of any absence from the premises i.e. holidays and nominate who will be the responsible person in charge whilst away.
All door supervisors will wear hi-visibility jackets and display their SIA badge in an arm band. This arm band will be worn on the sleeve of their coat/jacket, so that it is visible to members of the public, police officers and licensing officers.
A written record of the door supervisors working on any evening must be kept. The minimum amount of information that must be recorded is 'date, full name, time shift started, time shift finished, SIA badge number, signature'. Upon request this record must be given to Greater Manchester Police and/or authorised officer of the council.
Every person entering the premises as a customer will be advised by notice that it is a condition of entry that they may be subjected to a search whilst the premises are open for business. Any person suspected of carrying offensive weapons/drugs will be excluded from the premises.
Excluded individuals will be denied entry into the premises (excluded individuals include those subjects to court bans, pub watch exclusions and those excluded by the licence holder).
DPS or Premise Licence Holder will be a member of the pub watch scheme and attend meetings on a regular basis.
Digital CCTV WILL be provided in the form of a recordable system, capable of providing pictures of EVIDENTIAL QUALITY in all lighting conditions particularly facial recognition. 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 the Police or other responsible authority on demand.
The Premise 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. i.e. DISC to the Police/Local Authority on demand.
The recording equipment shall be kept in a secure environment under the control of the DPS or another responsible named individual. A weekly operational report must be maintained and 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 Premise Licence Holder/DPS must report the failure to the Police or Council Licensing on contact number 0161 856 9069 immediately.
The DPS or nominated person will share intelligence on drug use, drug dealing and anti-social behaviour within the venue to Police Officers, Council Licensing and other local venues.
The PLH or DPS will ensure all staff employed at the venue are aware of the law and their responsibilities under the Licensing Act, staff must undertake training in Licensing law, such as the BIIAB Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing or any other training courses. All new staff must receive this training within 3 months of employment. Refresher training must be given every 12 months.
The venue will maintain a written record of this training, detailing what date completed, when refresher is due/date refresher is completed. What type of training provided? All staff receiving this training will sign this document to say training has been provided and completed. This record will be made available to the Police/Council on request.
A strict challenge 25 policy will be introduced for any person entering the premises. Persons under the age of 18 will be allowed on the premises whilst accompanied by an adult between the hours of 12:00 noon and 21:00.
Customers will be allowed to be served drinks at tables outside at the rear of the premises on the condition that all beverages are supplied in plastic drinking vessels.
All smokers will utilise the front or rear of the premises, NO drinks or glassware will be allowed outside the venue with smokers.
Door staff will be responsible for monitoring smokers at the front of the premises. Any person who is not a customer of the premises will be encouraged to move away from the front of the premises.
Public Safety
We will have a supervisor walking about at all times and a qualified first aider on site.
No customer will be allowed to take drinks or glassware outside the front of the premises or beyond the barriered area at the rear of the premises, via the rear door.
The Prevention of Public Nuisance
We have always run a very quiet bar and have had no trouble up to yet. We have always had supervisors walking round at all times.
For premises where entertainment frequently takes place, music and associated sources (including DJs, and amplified voices) should generally not be audible inside noise sensitive property at any time. Where entertainment takes place less frequently, such noise should not be audible inside noise sensitive property between 23.00 and 07.00 hours.
The Protection of Children from Harm
Children will be allowed in the premises whilst accompanied by an adult between the hours of 12.00 noon and 22.00.
Embedded Conditions
On-licences Alcohol shall not be sold or supplied except during permitted hours.
In this condition, permitted hours means:
g. On New Year’s Eve from the end of permitted hours on New Year’s Eve to the start of permitted hours on the following day (or, if there are no permitted hours on the following day, midnight on 31st December).
The existing restrictions do not prohibit:
(d) consumption of the alcohol on the premises or the taking of sale or supply of alcohol to any person residing in the licensed premises;
(e) the ordering of alcohol to be consumed off the premises, or the despatch by the vendor of the alcohol so ordered;
(f) the sale of alcohol to a trader or club for the purposes of the trade or club;
(g) the sale or supply of alcohol to any canteen or mess, being a canteen in which the sale or supply of alcohol is carried out under the authority of the Secretary of State or an authorised mess of members of Her Majesty’s naval, military or air forces;
(h) the taking of alcohol from the premises by a person residing there; or
(i) the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises to any private friends of a person residing there who are bona fide entertained by him at his own expense, or the consumption of alcohol by persons so supplied; or
(j) the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises to persons employed there for the purposes of the business carried on by the holder of the licence, or the consumption of liquor so supplied, if the liquor is supplied at the expense of their employer or of the person carrying on or in charge of the business on the premises.
S.166 LA 1964 Alcohol shall not be sold or supplied unless it is paid for before
Licensed Premises or at the time when it is sold or supplied, except alcohol sold or supplied:
(a) with and for consumption at a meal supplied at the same time, consumed with the meal and paid for together with the meal;
(b) for consumption by a person residing in the premises or his guest and paid for together with his accommodation;
(c) to a canteen or mess.
S.168, 171, 201 LA No person under fourteen shall be in the bar of the
1964 On-licence, licensed premises during the permitted hours
no children’s unless one of the following applies:
certificate
(1) He is the child of the holder of the premises licence.
(2) He resides in the premises but is not employed there.
(3) He is in the bar solely for the purpose of passing to or from some part of the premises which is not a bar and to or from which there is no other convenient means of access or egress.
(4) The bar is in railway refreshment rooms or other premises constructed, fitted and intended to be used bona fide for any purpose to which the holding of the licence is ancillary.
In this condition “bar” includes any place exclusively or mainly used for the consumption of intoxicating liquor. But an area is not a bar when it is usual for it to be, and it is, set apart for the service of table meals and alcohol is only sold or supplied to persons as an ancillary to their table meals.
