NOTICE OF DECISION

The Licensing Sub-Committee of West Berkshire Council met on Monday 01 July 2013 and resolved to approve Application 13/00990/LIA in respect of a personal licence for Mrs Elaine Marie Voke subject to a number of conditions which are set out below.

In coming to their decision, the Sub-Committee had regard to the licensing objective for the prevention of crime and disorder.

They also considered the Department of Culture, Media and Sport Guidance on the Licensing Act 2003 and West Berkshire Council’s Licensing Policy.

The Sub-Committee heard representations made by:

1.                  The Applicant:           Elaine Marie Voke

2.                  The Objector:             Mike King on behalf of Thames Valley Police

Having taken those representations into account, the Licensing Sub-Committee RESOLVED that the Application reference13/00990/LIA in respect of a personal licencebe granted. 

REASONS:

The Sub-Committee in reaching this decision considered that the offence referred to in the Police Objection had taken place a long time ago.  Furthermore, the Sub-Committee did not consider that there was any evidence before them which suggested that the Applicant had a propensity to commit this type of offence.  Therefore, the Sub-Committee considered that it was appropriate to grant the personal licence as to do so did not undermine the crime prevention objective.
