Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
General
I have undertaken my own risk assessment to take the following proposed steps. These existing premises operate within the current law without particular difficulty. The types of regulated entertainment proposed materially do no more than reinstate the normal pub entertainment that was previously unregulated. No new steps have been identified in relation to the four licensing objectives save as below.
The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
No further risks have been identified which needs to be addressed. Under the present licensing regime the premises already are able to be open until 00:30.
Public Safety
No further risks have been identified which need to be addressed.
The Prevention of Public Nuisance
No further risks have been identified which need to be addressed.
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.
All external doors and windows shall be kept closed when entertainment is being provided, other than for access and egress and in the event of an emergency. If additional ventilation is subsequently necessary, then it shall be attenuated in accordance with a scheme submitted to the licensing authority.
The licence holder or his representative shall conduct regular assessments of the noise coming from the premises on every occasion the premises are used for regulated entertainment and shall take steps to reduce the level of noise where it is likely to cause a disturbance to local residents. A written record shall be made of those assessments in a log book kept for that purpose and shall include, the time and date of the checks, the person making them and the results including any remedial action.
There shall be placed at all exits from the premises in a place where they can be seen and easily read by the public, (or member and their guests) notices requiring customers to leave the premises and the area quietly. (Note, this may also include a reference to vehicles).
The Protection of Children from Harm
The restrictions set out in the Licensing Act 2003 will apply. No unusual or additional risks of harm to children have been identified. No films or videos of any description will be shown so that they can be viewed by persons under the age of any applicable BBFC/Local Authority certification.
All children under the age of 16 should be off the premises by 10:30pm at the very latest, save for private family functions held in a separate function room.
All children should be accompanied and supervised by an adult whilst on the premises.
