The prevention of crime and disorder
1. A CCTV system of an evidential standard shall be installed in the restaurant and bar areas and the system shall be in operation at all times the premises are open to the public. All recordings from the system shall be kept for a period of 28 days and the police will have access to records at any reasonable time.
2. As far as is practical, that persons on or leaving the premises and using adjacent car parks and highways shall be reminded to conduct themselves in an orderly manner and not in any way to cause annoyance to residents or persons passing by.
3. The maximum number of persons to be permitted within the first floor restaurant area shall be 120.
4. All drinking glasses in which drinks are served shall be in toughened or strengthened glasses and no drink shall be served in a glass bottle from which it is intended or likely that a customer will drink.
5. Regular glass and bottle collection shall be undertaken throughout the premises.
6. Patrons shall not be permitted to leave the premises with any glass or bottles which belong to the premises.
7. There must be no entry or re-entry to the premises after 12 midnight.
Public safety
1. Adequate access shall be provided for emergency vehicles.
2. All parts of the premises and all fittings and apparatus therein, all fastenings and notices and the seating, lighting, heating, electrical, ventilation, sanitary accommodation, washing facilities and other installations, shall be maintained at all times in good order and in a safe condition.
3. The date on which any staff have obtained first aid qualifications or received refresher training shall be recorded and kept within a log book.
4. Immediately a fire is discovered or suspected, the Fire Brigade shall be called immediately by dialling 999. Any outbreak of fire, however small, shall be recorded in a log book.
5. All doors and fastenings shall at all times be kept in proper working order, gangways, exit routes and steps shall be maintained in good order with non slippery and even surfaces.
The prevention of public nuisance
1. Noise or vibration shall 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 23.00 hours. This shall be assessed from the boundary to the nearest residential properties, on all sides of the licensed premises. The criteria that shall be applied are:
(a) Before 23.00 hours - noise emanating from the premises shall not be clearly distinguishable above other noise.
(b) After 23.00 - noise emanating from the premises shall not be distinguishable above background levels of noise.
(c) The local authority shall reserve the right in cases of tonal noise and where premises are attached to others (i.e. semis and terraced properties) to make further assessments from within the residential property.
2. To allow live and amplified music inside and to reduce noise breakout, doors and windows facing on to any noise sensitive premises (e.g. dwelling) shall be kept shut during entertainment. A management scheme shall be in place to ensure this situation remains.
3. Prominent, clear and legible notices shall be displayed at all exits requesting the public to respect the needs of local residents and to leave the premises and the area quietly.
4. The placing of refuse, such as bottles, into receptacles outside the premises shall take place at times that will prevent disturbance to nearby properties.
5. The premises shall remain open for at least half an hour after alcohol is served, during which time patrons shall be dispersed gradually.
The protection of children from harm
1. Bar staff shall be suitably trained to prevent the sale of alcohol to under 18's.
2. To prevent the sale of alcohol to persons under the age of 18 years, suitable written proof of age from young people shall be obtained attempting to purchase alcohol, in accordance with documents specified by Torbay Council's "Statement of Licensing Policy".
