Report of the Head of Highways and Public Protection

The Sub-Committee considered the report of the Head of Highways and Public Protection regarding an application by We are the Oxford Ltd for the Grant of a Premises Licence in respect of the above premises.

A letter of objection to the application had been received from members of the public and this necessitated a hearing for which the Sub-Committee had been convened. An objector was present at the meeting.

The Sub-Committee heard representations from Mr Philip Martin, representative of the Applicant company We are the Oxford Ltd and another representative of the Applicant company, in support of the application.

The Sub-Committee also heard representations from one member of the public in objection to the application.

At the end of their representations, both representatives of the Applicant company and the objector confirmed that they were satisfied 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.
