Jayne Gough presented the report to the
Sub-Committee, and it was noted that representations had been
received from one interested party and were set out at Appendix
‘B’ to the report. They had
received an invite to the meeting, but were not in attendance. Ms
Gough added that the applicants had revised the application by
request of the Environmental Protection Service (EPS), by agreeing
to reduce the hours on the operating schedule, amending Regulated
Entertainment to be provided “indoors only” and
removing all references to broadcasting amplified music
outside. The applicants had also agreed
that several conditions be added to the licence, if granted, and
which were set out in Appendix ‘C’ to the report.

Leigh Schelvis reported that the applicants
– Alma Street Social Ltd, were part of the Future Sounds
Group, the largest live music brand in Yorkshire, and which had
been hosting and running live music venues, and had been associated

applicants were very experienced, and had hosted gigs and events
for some of the world's biggest artists. The group was currently operating two
multi-purpose venues in Leeds, which hosted other artists as well
as bands, and both had food and drink offerings. The applicants had an excellent record with the
Licencing Service in Leeds, and had never had any premises licences
revoked, or caused any concerns. The
premises comprised a two-storey, industrial unit, with a bar/bistro

ground floor. The venue aimed to be the
centre of the Kelham Island community, and fit in with the style of
other licensed premises in the area. It
would be a venue where people could meet for a drink and/or food,
businesses could hold meetings or host events, and students could
go and study. The drink offer would
comprise a selection of craft beers, wines and spirits, and there
would be an easy-going food menu. The
applicants had worked proactively with the EPS in agreeing a list
of conditions, which related mainly to noise control and the
prevention of nuisance, following which the Service had withdrawn
its objection to the application. Mr
Schelvis also referred to other conditions on the operating
schedule. He stressed that there were
no live objections from the responsible authorities. He referred to the objection received from the
Kelham Island and Neepsend Neighbourhood Forum (KINNF), and
summarised the group’s concerns, which focused
