Minutes:
The Sub-Committee considered the report of the Head of Highways and Public Protection regarding an application by Mr Keith Downes, the Blues Bar and Bistro, for a Variation of a Premises Licence in respect of the above premises as follows:
A petition in objection to the application had been received and this necessitated a hearing for which the Sub-Committee had been convened.
The Sub-Committee heard representations from:
· Mr Keith Downes (applicant), in support of his application
· Two local residents objecting to the application.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting was held remotely.
At the end of their representations each of the interested parties confirmed that they were satisfied that they had said all they wished to say.
The Sub-Committee retired under Regulation 14(2) of the Licensing Act (Hearings) Regulations 2005 (as amended) and thereby excluded the press and public whilst they reached their decision on the application. The Sub-Committee returned to give their decision in public.

Reasons:
The Sub-Committee has heard representations from the Applicant, Mr Downes.
The Sub-Committee has also heard objections from the interested parties and has considered the petition received from local residents objecting to the application.
