Agenda and draft minutes

Resolved:     That Councillor Wright be appointed Chair for this meeting

There were no apologies

There were no declarations of interest

Mr Mohammed Taj submitted a new premises application in respect of Kashmir Delight, 15 London Road, Chesterton.  The premises required a licence to permit opening until 12 midnight.  The Environmental Health department submitted a representation to the application on the grounds of potential for public nuisance, specifically noise and odour from two exhaust stacks.

Mr Taj stated that the premises had operated since 1989 as a takeaway and that there had been no complaints. During the process of submission it was agreed that noise was no longer an issue and that works to the ventilation stack would be undertaken by the applicant to address the concerns of Environmental Health. In this respect the applicant circulated a letter which set out the works which would be undertaken on 25 September to address the odour concerns.

Mr Taj confirmed that he would comply with the conditions proposed by the Environmental Health Department and set out in the report. Mr Taj highlighted the maintenance and cleaning regime and it was considered that if incorporated into a written folder which was kept up to date this would enable the applicant to comply with the conditions. It was noted that Mr Taj had also agreed conditions with Staffordshire Police.

The Committee considered that the business was well run and determined to grant the licence

Resolved:     That the licence be granted in accordance with the conditions agreed previously with the Police and now with Environmental Health and incorporated into the operating schedule
