Jonathan Round stated that the application was
to use the ground and first floor of the premises, the first floor
being adjacent to residential accommodation and as such the
recommendations outlined in his sound report should be carried
out. He said that the applicant had
engaged the services of consultants to carry out a sound report
without consulting the Environmental Protection Service and as such
there were a few issues that had not been addressed and that
recommended works were only appropriate to control customer noise
and not amplified sound. Mr. Round said
that the applicant had indicated that there would be background
music played at the premises, and therefore recommended that the
applicant puts in place additional measures to ensure that the
premises would be able to retain all sound during trading
hours.

Alison Riocreux stated that to open a pub
adjacent to the local primary school would be inappropriate as it
could encourage parents to drop off their children at school and go
into the pub and likewise when picking them up after
school. Ms. Riocreux said there would
be issues caused by additional rubbish and smells emanating from
the premises and that people would stand outside the premises,
blocking the pavement which was not very wide. She referred to the alleyway between the premises
and the school which also was not very wide and was concerned that
the bins would be left there and also there would be excessive
noise coming from the rear doors when opened or propped open. Ms.
Riocreux said that broken glass, urine and vomit from those using
the premises would be left in the alleyway. Although it had been suggested in the operating
schedule that clearing up would be carried out during the hours the
premises were open, her concern was, would the alleyway be cleared
by the morning when children were going to school and would it be
safe. She also raised concerns about
people stood outside the premises smoking as their smoke could
drift into the playground. She felt
that the privacy and safety of the schoolchildren could
