• ANNEX 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE

   

  General

        The types of regulated entertainments proposed re-instate and then enhance the normal pub and family entertainments that were previously unregulated, with the benefit to enhance the local facilities for social entertainment and reduce the focus on alcohol.

        Then facilities for live and recorded music, dancing and voice are proposed in support of bookings, events and the core business of an entertainment venue.

        Staff will be trained on the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003 when they are recruited and given training in "drugs awareness" as part of their induction.

        No new steps have been identified by my risk assessment in relation to the four licensing objectives, except as below.

        I have considered the terms of your local licensing policy in preparing this application.

   

  The prevention of crime and disorder

        On Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings when the regulated entertainment offered includes dancing or live music then SIA door control will be employed from 1930hrs until the premises close.

        Providing a 30 minute drinking extension of opening hours after the end of the sale of alcohol will promote this objective as the last drink will be consumed less quickly, with access to the pubs toilet facilities.

        The DPS will be a member of the Carlisle Pubwatch so long as it exists.

        New staff will be trained in drugs awareness at their induction following recruitment.

        Not less than five working days written notice will be provided to Police, if they require it, when "Events Days" are planned.

   

  Public safety

        Function bookings will be limited to 60 persons.

        On certain occasions my risk assessment indicates a risk of crowding and, on those occasions, the capacity of the whole premises (including staff and performers) is not to exceed 150.

        "Safer clubbing" guidance will be followed during the door-controlled hours as above.

        CCTV has already been installed.  Tapes will be kept for 28 days.

        Air extraction has already been installed.

   

  The prevention of public nuisance

        Live music will end at 0100 hours except on New Years Eve and New Years Day.

        Recorded music indoors will end at 0200 hours except on New Years Eve and New Years Day.

        Recorded music volume will be reduced to background level during the wind down period to create a mood change.

        A notice will be placed prominently at the exits asking customers to leave quietly.

   

  The protection of children from harm

        The restrictions set out in the Licensing Act 2003 will apply.

        Photographic proof of age will be required to be shown by anyone seeking to purchase alcohol who appears to be under 20 years of age.

        Under 18's will not be permitted on the premises after 20.00 hours.
