Minutes:

The Panel gave consideration to an application for the review of a premises licence in respect of the premises known The Farmhouse, 97 High Street, West Malling which had been made under section 51 of the Licensing Act 2003. 

 

The Panel gave careful consideration to the written report of the Director of Central Services and Deputy Chief Executive, together with the application and written representations received during the statutory consultation period. It also considered the oral representations made to it by the applicant and other interested parties during the Hearing.  

 

The Panel was mindful of its obligations under section 52(3) of the Licensing Act 2003, which stated that, having regard to the relevant representations, the Licensing Authority must take such of the steps set out in section 52(4) (if any) as it considers appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives. The Panel also had particular regard to the provisions of the amended guidance issued under section 182 of the 2003 Act in April 2018.
