  ANNEXE 3

   

  CONDITIONS ATTACHED AFTER A HEARING BY THE LICENSING AUTHORITY

   

•  

  The Prevention of Public Nuisance

   

  1.               Noise or vibration will not emanate from the premises such as to cause persons in the neighbourhood to be unreasonably disturbed. In general terms, noise from the premises should not be audible within any noise sensitive premises (e.g. dwelling) with windows open for normal ventilation especially after 23:00hrs. This will be assessed from the boundary to the nearest residential properties, on all sides of the licensed premises. The criteria that will be applied are;

   

  (a)               Before 23:00hrs- Noise emanating from the premises will not be clearly distinguishable above other noise.

   

  (b)               After 23:00hrs- Noise emanating from the premises will not be distinguishable above background levels of noise.

   

  (c)               The Local Authority will reserve the right in cases of tonal noise and where premises are attached to others (i.e. semi's and terraced properties), to make further assessments from within the residential property.

   

  2.               To allow live and amplified music inside doors and windows shall be kept shut during entertainment beyond this time. To reduce noise break out. A management scheme will be in place to ensure this situation remains.

   

  3.               Deliveries of kegs, bottles, food or other materials necessary for the operation of the business will be carried out at such a time or in such a manner as to prevent nuisance and disturbance to nearby residents.

   

  4.               The handling of beer kegs, bottles and other similar items will not take place in the late evening, at night and during the early morning, when the noise generated could cause a nuisance particularly outside buildings.

   

  5.               Bottle skips and bins containing cans or bottles will not be emptied outside after closing but will be dealt with the next day during normal office hours.

   

  6.               The movement of bins and rubbish outside the premises will be kept to a minimum after 23:00hrs. This will help to reduce the levels of noise produced by the premises.
