• ANNEX 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE

   

  General

   

  We have applied for an extended period between the cessation of the supply of alcohol and the closure of the premises to give us the option to allow for a more gradual dispersal of customers.  The style and operation of the pub will not differ significantly during the extended hours.  Where this is appropriate, non-alcoholic refreshment will be available in the extended period.

   

  The premises will respect Spirit Group's Approach to Responsible Drinking (a copy of which is enclosed in support of this application).  Our policies change at regular intervals to reflect current trends and it would be inappropriate to standardise them on a permanent basis.  The enclosed policy is included for information only and not as suggested conditions or to form part of any other Operating Schedule.

   

  The prevention of crime and disorder

   

  When Door Supervisors are provided, they will be approved by the Security Industry Authority to such a number as the management of the premises consider are sufficient to control the entry of persons to the premises and for the keeping of order in the premises when they are used for licensable activity.

   

  A zero tolerance towards illegal drugs will be enforced at all times.

   

  If a disc jockey is used on any night then he/she will ask customers to leave quietly.

   

  Where CCTV equipment is fitted, it shall be maintained in good working order in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and notices will be displayed.

   

  All instances of crime and disorder will be reported to the police and will be kept in an incident log book.

   

  Public safety

   

  Public safety is integral to the way that the Spirit Group runs its business and is reviewed regularly through our health and safety policy.  This policy is fully briefed and trained to all management and staff and we will continue to train our staff to the standards required by relevant legislation.

   

  Free drinking water will be available at all times.

   

  The prevention of public nuisance

   

  The licence holder or his representative shall conduct regular asssessments of the noise coming from the premises on every occasion the premises are used for regulated entertainment and shall take steps to reduce the level of noise where it is likely to cause a disturbance to local residents.

   

  Where appropriate, notices will be displayed at all exits from the premises in a place where they can be seen and easily read by the public, requiring customers to leave the premises and area quietly.

   

  When the premises are open to the public and there is a communication link with other participating licensed premises, this will be monitored by the Designated Premises Supervisor or a nominated member of staff.

   

  Soft drinks and non-alcoholic refreshment will be available if we decide to use the option to stay open for an extended period between the cessation of the supply of alcohol and the closure of premises (see above under General).

   

  The protection of children from harm

   

                       When children are allowed upon the premises, any entertainment offered within the premises will be suitable for young persons.

                       Children will be required to be supervised by the accompanying adult at all times.

                       A no smoking area will be provided.

                       Soft drinks and non-alcoholic drinks will be available.

                       A recognised Proof of Age Policy will be enforced.
