Licensing Sub-Committee Report

1. Application

1-A Applicant and premises

Application Type: New Premises Licence, Licensing Act 2003

Application received date: 10 February 2020

Applicant: London School Of Economics & Political Science

Premises address: London School Of Economics & Political Science Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE

Ward:

St James’s

Cumulative Impact Area:

None

Premises description:

This is an application for a new premises licence which currently operates as a University. The premises are intending on hosting small events for their students and staff.

Premises licence history:

The premises has been divided into separate areas in relation to the licensable areas and therefore the premises have had the benefit of three premises licences. The premises have a licence for each of the following areas:

1. Ground Floor, Mezzanine, Third Floor, Fourth Floor, Fifth Floor Sixth Floor

2. Library 3. Basement, Ground Floor, Level 2, Level 6, Level 12.

A copy of all three premises licences can be found at Appendix 3.

Summary of Application There are three existing licences for the London School of Economics that permit licensable activities within the premises buildings. It appears that the purpose of this application is to authorise licensable activities that will be carried out at various “small” events within the external area of the London School of Economics campus for students and guests. The majority of activities will cease by the latest 23.00 on Monday to Saturday and 22.30 on Sundays. The applicant has also sought permission for one major event which will take place during May or June each year which is described as the summer ball. The exact date has not been specified in the application as it will vary from one year to the next but the application does seek an extension of hours until 02.00 on the day following the event for all licensable activities.

Applicant submissions: The application follows pre-application advice ref: 19/06576/PREAPM. A copy of this report can be found at Appendix 2.

2. Representations

2-A Responsible Authorities

Responsible Authority:

Environmental Health Service

Representative: Sally Fabbricatore

Received:

6 March 2020

I refer to the application for a new Premises Licence for the above premises. This representation is based on the Operating Schedule and the submitted plans, for the area, drawing number P11720-00-002-LSE-100 and dated 07.01.20. The applicant is seeking the following in the area:

1. To allow the Supply of Alcohol ‘on’ the premises Monday to Saturday 10:00-23:00 hours and Sunday 10:00-22:30 hours. To also allow one event until 02:00 hours.

2. To allow Late Night Refreshment for the one event until 02:00 hours.

3. To allow the provision of regulated entertainment both ‘indoors and ‘outdoors’ including films, plays, live music recorded music, performance of dance and anything similar Monday to Saturday 10:00-23:00 hours and Sunday 10:00-22:30 hours.

I wish to make the following representation in relation to the above application:

1. The provision of the Supply of Alcohol may cause an increase in Public Nuisance in the area, it may also impact on Public Safety.

2. The provision of Late Night Refreshment may cause an increase in Public Nuisance in the area.

3. The provision of regulated entertainment may cause an increase in Public Nuisance in

area, it may also impact on Public Safety. Advice has been followed that was provided in the pre-application advice report. The granting of the new Premises Licence as presented would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance in the area and may impact on Public Safety.

Responsible Authority:

Metropolitan Police Service (Withdrawn 03 June 2020)

Representative: PC Bryan Lewis

Received:

3 March 2020

Police object to this application, as it may not promote the licensing objectives, namely the prevention of crime and disorder for the following reasons:

• Insufficient conditions proposed to ensure the prevention of crime and disorder.

• Some of the conditions proposed may undermine the licensing objectives Following agreement of additional conditions, the Metropolitan Police Service withdrew their representation on 03 June 2020.

2-B Other Persons

This Representation is made on behalf of is concerned about 3 aspects of the proposed application. We believe that unless these

are modified the grant of a Licence will harm the Licensing Objective of the Prevention of Public Nuisance. Noise The application is clear that music noise should not be audible within noise sensitive premises with the window open. However large scale events can generate noise even without music being played. We are concerned about this risk and ask that the condition be amended to refer to noise in general rather than music noise in particular Dispersal There is a requirement that the Management Plan includes dispersal (9 xiv) but there is no stated requirement that dispersal will be managed in such a way so as not to cause a nuisance. Condition 14 includes this requirement for queuing, and we believe something similar is required during dispersal. Condition 11 We are concerned that Condition 11 introduces a "get out clause" card which means that the Event Management Plan does not need to be realistic. All the applicant needs to claim is that it was not "reasonably practicable" to comply with the plan that they had themselves developed. We believe that this clause should be removed. There may be unforeseen situations where it is not possible to comply with the agreed plan but we think that the current wording of this condition gives too much scope to the applicant.

Applicant/Solicitor:

Cumulative Impact Area:

No

Proposal

The proposal is to host events on LSE land and WCC land.

The events will be limited to 23:00 hours save for ‘major events’. Major events would be those that would trigger stricter requirements after certain criteria is met, such as a higher capacity or later hour.

The proposed activities are as follows:

• Regulated Entertainment (Films, Live Music, Recorded Music, Performance of Dance, Anything similar) – Monday -Saturday 10:00-23:00 and Sunday 10:00-22:30.

• Late Night Refreshment – for events that go past 23:00 hours

• Alcohol ‘on’ the premises - Monday -Saturday 10:00-23:00 and Sunday 10:00-22:30.

The land that is to be used is a mix of ownership between Westminster City Council and LSE. Therefore, the majority of events will not be closed to the public.

Westminster’s Statement of Licensing Policy

Environmental Health bases any recommendations on achieving compliance with Westminster’s Statement of Licensing Policy as well as being consistent with promoting the Licensing Objectives.

The advice in this report should therefore be read in conjunction with the policy which can be found on the Council’s website at the following link:

https://www.westminster.gov.uk/statement-licensing-policy

In addition this link gives access to the list of Model Conditions (MC) which should be used as the basis for any conditions that may be proposed in an operating schedule.

The principal policy consideration is policy PVC1: Theatres, cinemas, other performance venues, and qualifying clubs outside the Cumulative Impact Areas - which states that ‘applications will generally be granted subject to relevant criteria in policies CD1, PS1, PN1 and CH1’ as the premises are not in a Cumulative Impact Area (CIA) and if the proposal also has the following main elements:

• supply of alcohol is ancillary to an event

• operational hours within core hour policy HRS1

Core Hours

The core hours are as follows for the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises:

1. Monday to Thursday: 10:00 to 23:30 2. Friday and Saturday: 10:00 to midnight

3. Sundays immediately prior to Bank Holidays: Midday to midnight 4. Other Sundays: Midday to 22:30

For regulated entertainment and late night refreshment:

• Monday to Thursday: 09:00 to 23.30

• Friday and Saturday: 09:00 to midnight

• Sundays immediately prior to Bank Holidays: 09:00 to midnight

• Other Sundays: 09:00 to 22:30

Environmental Health considerations:

PN1 – Prevention of Public Nuisance

PS1 – Promoting Public Safety

CH1 – Protection of Children from Harm

Type of Events

The majority of events will be less than 500 people and will take place either in daytime hours into evening but not beyond 23:00 hours. The main event where longer hours are requested is for the Summer Ball. It was discussed at the meeting that certain events will incur stricter requirements and would be classed as a major event.

De-regulated entertainment

For the events that have a smaller capacity (under 500) and will not operate after 23:00 hours it may be that some of the regulated entertainment is deregulated.

In the meeting it was discussed the majority of events would be finished by this hour except for the Summer Ball.

Please refer to the following link to seek further detail about deregulation. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/entertainment-licensing-changes-under-the-live-music-act

Structure and Capacity

The majority of events will operate under 500 people. However, the proposed capacity over the whole space for major events is a maximum of 1000 people. Further advice is given in the report regarding the capacity from Alan Lynagh, district surveyor.

Any calculations on the safe capacity shall be made with reference to ‘The Technical Standards for Places of Entertainment – District Surveyor’s Association’ and any guidance provided by the Fire Brigade.

Westminster Building Control should be contacted if temporary structures are to be provided for an event to ascertain if temporary structures licences are required. In that situation full structural design details and calculations of all temporary structures must be submitted to Building Control and approval obtained prior to the event starting.

WC Provisions

With regard to the WCs the Event Safety Guide should be referenced.

For the events under 500 people existing facilities in the university buildings will be made accessible. These should be referenced on the layout plan. For major events further temporary facilities will be provided which will be detailed in the Event Management Plan.

Event Management Plan

A risk assessment will be expected to be undertaken for all events as well producing an Event Management Plan and a Noise Management Plan for all events. For those events that trigger the major event criteria a condition is proposed that this shall be submitted a minimum of 28 days before the event. However, the more detail added to the application may help potential objectors understand the impact of the activity. Such a plan should contain appropriate details on relevant aspects (see below under list of recommended conditions).

Food Offering

The provision of food was discussed during the meeting. The proposal for some events is a mix of mobile units/street food. Consideration should be given to the location of food units in terms of means of escape and potential fumes/odours that may cause a nuisance.

Further guidance has been attached regarding mobile food units and follows in the report.

Temporary Power Supply generators for events:

Use of temporary diesel generators of 37KW and 560KW used to provide power for an event are advised to also comply with the same emission standards under the Non Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) Regulations (which currently apply to building sites):

• ie emission standards Stage IIIA or Stage IIIB of EU Directive 97/68/EC

Smoking Area

The area for smokers was not discussed, however any area would need to comply with the Health Act 2006.

Street Trading

For any stalls placed on public highway street trading licences will be need be applied for.

https://www.westminster.gov.uk/street-trading-special-events

Interaction with the City Promotions Events and Filming Team

For events that use or impact the public highway permission will need to be sought from The City Promotions and Events Team eventsandfilming@westminster.gov.uk

Noise

If power is going to be taken from generators the plant will need to comply with the usual standards of permanent plant.

During the build-up and break down of the site, any activities that might cause noise to be audible outside the site will be limited to 08:00 - 18:00 Monday –Saturday and 08:00 - 13:00 Sunday.

Regulated entertainment

Sound from entertainment will need to be controlled at all times of the day.

The main issue that causes concern due to the late night use is any noise nuisance that may be caused from the activity of regulated entertainment.

It is unlikely that the noise from the entertainment for the majority of events will be at a volume to be audible beyond the boundary of the site. However further details are required on how the sound will be controlled which can be detailed in the noise management plan. As there is no control on the number of these events then regulated entertainment and/or amplified should not be audible at the nearest noise sensitive premises.

For major events a noise management plan will need to be submitted. Up until 23:00 hours the following condition should be met:

‘At a ‘major event’ the Music Noise Level shall not at 1 metre from the façade of any noise sensitive premises exceed the background noise level by more than 15dB(A)over a 15 minute period throughout the duration of the event.’

The proposal for the Summer Ball is to operate beyond 23:00 hours until 02:00 hours. There are serious concerns that regulated entertainment at this hour will cause a public nuisance. Referring to the Pop Code (Control of Practice on Environmental Noise Control at Concerts) the following condition should be met:

‘For any event that operates beyond 23:00 hours there shall be no music noise audible within noise sensitive premises with windows open in a typical manner for ventilation.’

In order to uphold the Prevention of Public Nuisance objective I would advise there should be no external regulated entertainment beyond 23:00 hours.

Appendix 11 of the Licensing Policy should be referenced.

Alcohol Management

The following was discussed and is detailed in the conditions further in the document.

• The use of the bars shall only be ancillary to an event.

• It would be good practice to have a personal licence holder on site at all times.

• A challenge policy should adopted, such as Challenge 21 or Challenge 25.

• The alcohol offering was discussed and it was agreed this would not be limited to a certain number of drinks.

• The number of bars will be limited by those indicated in the event management plan and fixed bars would never be provided.

• Site boundary – this will need to be determined that alcohol does not come out of the event space. I imagine this will often be smaller than the overall licensed space and this space will need to be detailed in the individual Event Management Plan.

Crime and Disorder

Security provisions should be discussed with the Police, with regard to searching, numbers of staff, etc. Please contact MetPoliceLicensingTeam@westminster.gov.uk It is strongly advised that the use of glass in the outside areas is prohibited. Once again discussion should take place with the Police to confirm if they are content with this approach.

Type of licence

A new licence application will be required.

The capacity of the whole site will be under 1000 so this will not incur higher licensing fees.

Items not discussed in the meeting

Can the following also be addressed in the Event Management Plan:

• Will there be any special effects?

• How will drinking water be provided?

• How will you power the site? i.e. with generators?

Proposed Conditions

The following conditions should be considered to reduce the impact on the licensing objectives.

1. Substantial food and non-intoxicating beverages, including drinking water, shall be available in all parts of the premises where alcohol is sold or supplied for consumption on the premises.

2. There shall be no permanent fixed bar/s in licensed space. 3. Alcohol shall be ancillary to the main use as an event space used by the London School of

Economics. 4. In the licensed space there shall be a maximum of 12 'major events' in any 12-month

period. A 'major event' is triggered when any of the following takes place:

• A capacity of over 500 persons

• Persons are in attendance beyond 23:00 hours

• Temporary structures are present which require Building Control approval

• The music level is audible at the site boundary

• Events that use WCC land

A record of these events shall be kept on site for a minimum of one year and be made available for inspection by an authorised officer.

5. Save for the 'major events' no amplified music shall be audible at the site boundary. 6. At a ‘major event’ the Music Noise Level shall not at 1 metre from the façade of any noise

7. For any event that operates beyond 23:00 hours there shall be no music noise audible within noise sensitive premises with windows open in a typical manner for ventilation.

8. For a ‘major event’ unless otherwise agreed, no later than 28 days prior to the event, the Premises Licence holder must ensure an Event Management Plan is presented to the Environmental Health Consultation Team, The Westminster Licensing Police and The City Promotions Events and Filming Team for their comments. The Event Management Plan shall include, as a minimum:

i) Emergency and evacuation procedures ii) Crowd management and stewarding arrangements iv) A detailed site plan showing all permanent and temporary structures and all access and egress points v) Capacity at any one time vi) Certificates from competent persons on Structures, Electrical Power Supply and Gas equipment (including LPG)

vii) First Aid and Lost Children arrangements viii) Noise Management Plan including details of resident engagement ix) Risk Assessments x) A waste management plan xi) Sanitary accommodation xiii) The setup and break down arrangements for the event xiv) The dispersal of customers at the end of the event.

12. The licence holder shall ensure that any queue to enter the licensed space which forms outside the premises is orderly and supervised by door staff so as to ensure that there is no public nuisance or obstruction to the public highway.

13. When temporary seating is provided within the licensed space the following arrangements shall be complied with:

o Where the number of seats exceed 50, seats should be secured together in lengths of not less than 4.

o Where the number of seats exceed 250, seats should be secured together in rows and fix the ends of the rows to the floor or to each other by using chamfered bars.

o Where the number of seats exceed 600, fix all seats individually to the floor.

Please be aware that as part of the application process other responsible authorities will also need to assess the proposals and may wish to make additional comments.

District Surveyor considerations General Legislative Background Building Regulations It is not clear if the scope of the proposals would trigger a building control application. This looks unlikely from the discussions to date but be advised that this should be considered. Generally any material change to the building by way of construction (installation of sanitary facilities, changes to load bearing construction, changes to means of escape routes etc) would require a building control application. Any temporary structures used for events may need a Section 30 temporary structure notice and this will need to be applied for as required. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 Ensuring the health and safety of employees, contractors and others who resort to the premises is a key statutory requirement at all times. In addition once the premises are operating under a premises licence consideration should be given to any increased risks this creates and this should be suitably assessed by way of risk assessments for the activities proposed. For events where there is the potential for public to be involved also further consideration should be given to assessing any wider risks and as required the premises existing health and safety policy and supporting documentation should eb updated appropriately.

Licensing Act The operator will need to show that the application is supporting the 4 licensing objectives of:

• Public Safety

• Prevention of Public Nuisance

• Prevention of Crime and Disorder

• Prevention of Children from Harm

The operator should look to ensure that anything they do not impact negatively on any of these licensing objectives so the guidance contained within this report should be followed where possible and is given for guidance purposes in assisting the operator plan for the premises use under any licence that is granted. Public Safety Layout and Planning Detailed plans showing any proposed seating layout(s), standing area, exit routes and widths etc, should be prepared in order to determine the number of people who can safely be accommodated. These are required under the Licensing Act 2003 and will allow the council to assess and determine maximum numbers per floor and the appropriate details as discussed at the site meeting should be detailed on the plans. Temporary Seating Arrangements The licence will give the operator flexibility in how the space is used and this is likely to mean that on certain occasions temporary seating will be used. When temporary seating is used within the event space the arrangements detailed in table 1 below are recommended to ensure the seats remain suitably stable and secure and do not negatively impact on public safety. Given the external nature of the space it may not be viable to fix seats to the floor as detailed but an alternative approach would need to be put inplace to provided the same level of stability and rigidity to any seating proposed. Table 1: Recommended arrangements for temporary seating

Recommended Arrangements for Temporary Seating

Number of seats exceeding Recommended arrangement

50 Secure seats together in lengths of not less than four

250 Secure the seats together in rows and fix the ends of the rows to the floor or to each other by using chamfered floor bars

Over 600 Fix all seats individually to the floor

Notes: 1. The fixing of seats together should be sufficiently secure to avoid easy separation or

snaking under pressure

2. Where it is impractical to fix seats to floor plates, for example on polished dance floors, chamfered floor bars may be used. This is not a recommended solution for a “lively” audience, for example at a pop concert

Overcrowding Consideration needs to be given to how the maximum occupancies prescribed are monitored within the premises, this may include:

• Appropriate ticketing strategy

• Manual systems for counting within the event space

• Monitoring systems throughout events

Doors In relation to any tented structures introduced wherever possible all doors should open in

direction of escape and where 60 or more people may need to escape the door should always

open in the direction of escape.

To clarify the width of a doorway is the clear width measured between the leaves (or, if a single

door, the leaf and the frame or doorstop) of the doors when open at right angles to the frame.

Door hardware may be ignored if the door opens more than 90 degrees to the frame.

Doorways should be not less than 2060mm high. Curtains or drapes should never be hung

across doors or escape routes within any of the licensable areas as this could impede any

evacuation.

Thresholds No door should open immediately over or onto a step. A single step on the line of a doorway is not acceptable. A landing at least as wide as the door and at least as long as the width of the door plus 400mm, should be provided between the door and the first step of any stair. There should be no upstand or threshold bar across any doorway or escape route, other than a chamfered weather bar or threshold seal for sound insulation protruding a maximum of 6mm and arranged so as not to cause a trip hazard. Door fastenings All exit doors should be free from fastenings when public, entertainers or staff are present or have fastenings that may be readily opened in emergency without using both hands or a key to open the door. Note 1:This does not preclude the use of a key to open the door from the outside. Note 2:Any removable devices, such as locks, bolts, chains or padlocks, used to improve security must be removed before the premises are occupied. A door alarm system is preferable to removable security devices where possible. Where there may be more than 60 people, any fastenings on doors should be panic bolts or panic latches operated by push bars complying with BS EN 1125. If a room holds less than 60 people, push pads or lever handles complying with BS EN 179 are acceptable. The use of latches operated by lever handles should be avoided in public areas. Round knobs should not be used as they could be difficult to operate. Any door furniture should be fitted between 800mm and 1200mm above floor level and should provide visual contrast with the surface of the doors. To avoid confusion push plates should usually be fitted for pushing doors and handles to pull doors. Guarding and Barriers Any platforms, temporary or otherwise over 380mm high to which the public have access should be provided with suitable guarding. Any staircases should be provided with suitable handrails 800mm above pitch line of stairs. Temporary electrical installations All temporary electrical wiring and distribution systems for any installations used within the premises should comply with the recommendations of BS 7671 or where applicable BS 7909. Where they have not been installed by a competent person, temporary electrical wiring and

distribution systems should be inspected and certified by a competent person before they are

put to use.

Electrical sockets located in performance areas should be protected by residual current devices (RCDs) of 30 milliamps/30 milliseconds sensitivity complying with BS 4293.

Lighting

The event space should have an adequate supply of both normal and emergency lighting and each system should be sufficient to enable the public, performers and staff to see their way to move around the premises safely and to escape from the premises. Particular attention is drawn to the existing staircases and changes of level. If the normal mains/street lighting to the external areas were to fail we need to ensure there is an adequate back up supply that provides the required level of luminence. Adequate emergency lighting in addition to sufficient normal lighting should be provided so that all parts of the premises including toilets and any internal and external exit routes leading to the street are illuminated. Both supplies of lighting should be independently capable of providing the recommended minimum illuminance. However, whilst both normal and emergency supplies are functioning properly, either or both supplies may operate at a reduced level so long as the minimum recommended illuminance is provided. In the event of the failure of either supply the remaining supply should be automatically restored to full illuminance. People with Impaired Mobility A suitable and sufficient method statement should be prepared detailing the physical and management provisions in place to ensure that people who have impaired mobility can escape in the event of a hazard. Reliance on the fire brigade to assist in the evacuation of disabled patrons is not satisfactory and considerable thought should be given to this subject to ensure compliance with the Equalities Act. Communication Adequate communication is needed throughout the proposed site. Where noise levels are loud thought should be given to the most appropriate communications systems to be used. Consideration should be given to the type and style of operation proposed and the type of entertainment available as this will help inform any decisions made regarding communication systems. In some circumstances a duty manager, equipped with two-way communication and a means to initiate an evacuation incorporating designated members of staff may be sufficient. We would request a full evacuation plan is provided for further assessment and comment. Special Effects

Special effects such as dry ice, smoke, pyrotechnics, lasers, strobe lighting and real flame

effects require specialists for both installation and operation. If the premises intend to use or

allow third parties to use such effects on the premises site specific risk assessments should be

carried out by the operator and the third party and we would suggest a suitable condition that

seeks our approval should be attached to the licence.

Exit Signage All exit routes should be suitably signed or detail regarding how an evacuation would be staffed should be provided for further consideration. Use of LPG for Catering

• All gas appliances should be confirmed as appropriate for use with an LPG supply.

• All gas appliances used should have been serviced by a competent gas safe registered engineer within the last twelve months.

• All gas appliances should be secured on a stable heat proof table.

• All gas appliances should be located away from any materials that could easily catch fire and should be at least 300mm from the wall of any stall structure.

• Traders should have a system in place to ensure that the gas supply is cut off in the event of the flame going out to prevent a leak of LPG. This system should be that all gas appliances are fitted with a flame failure or flame supervision device.

• Any fryers should be fitted with an automatic high temperature limiting device that limits the temperature of the fat or oil used to 250 degrees or lower.

• All LPG hoses must be in good condition and comply with BS 3212 or BSEN 1763.

• All LPG hoses should not be excessively long and should be less than 2 metres in length from the cylinder.

• All connections should be checked for leaks prior to cooking and this should be done via the use of leak detection fluid.

• All fastenings to connect hoses t appliances, cylinders etc. should be crimp fastenings (i.e. Double Ear 0 Ring clips).

• All cylinders should be turned off when not in use.

• All cylinders should be fitted with the correct pressure regulator for the gas type (i.e. propane or butane) and should comply with BS 3016 or BSEN 12864.

• All cylinders should be well ventilated.

• All cylinders should be stored upright and away from any ignition sources or flames.

• All cylinders should be located 2 metres away from any drain or gulley.

• Where cylinders are 13kg or larger they should be appropriately secured to prevent them falling over.

• All cylinders should be fitted with an automatic cut off valve. Fire Extinguishers on Catering Units All stalls should have fire extinguishers of a minimum 4 Kg or equivalent, of a suitable type for the activities carried out on the stall for example:

▪ Stall carrying out food activities including cooking – 2kg CO2 and 2kg Foam ▪ Stall carrying out food activities with no cooking – 2kg CO2 and 2kg Water. ▪ All stalls cooking food should have a suitable fire blanket. ▪ Unless new, all fire extinguishers used should have been serviced within the last 12

months.

Use of Generators

• Generators should not be overloaded and any generators used should be capable of safely supplying the electrical load placed upon it.

• Generators should be protected from adverse weather.

• Generators should have adequate ventilation at all times.

• All external plugs and sockets connected to a generator should be suitable for outdoor use.

• All generators should be located in suitable areas that will not cause hazards to nearby premises/properties/stalls, and should not be exhausted to an outside area (not into stalls).

• Where necessary generators should be suitably guarded to prevent access by unauthorised persons.

• Generators should be switched off while refuelling.

• Generators should be sited away from the general public and/or in a protective cage on firm ground.

• Generators should be diesel as this is less flammable than other fuel types.

• Electrical connections from generators should be fitted with RCD protection to 30 milliamps sensitivity.

Use of Fabrics/Coverings

• Appropriate fire retardant certification for all furnishings, curtains, fabrics and drapes used on site should be provided and in line with the relevant British Standard (generally BS EN 1101/2). These should be appropriately stored for inspection by enforcing authorities if required.

• Records and or certification of any proprietary treatment should be kept also and made available for inspection as required.

Conclusions The above list is not exhaustive but details some of the key considerations for the proposed use of the space. It is also advised that a final clearance inspection should take place prior to any major use under the licence and this should include a full walk through of the performance content so that any risks can be assessed.

Please note that any advice given will not guarantee that your application will be granted by the Licensing Service and the Environmental Health Consultation Team may make a representation to the application submitted.
