Agenda and draft minutes

It was proposed by Councillor Mike Warren and seconded by Councillor Keith Holland-Delamere that Councillor Andrew Kilbride be appointed Chair of the Sub-Committee.

Resolved

(1)  That Councillor Andrew Kilbride be appointed Chair of the Sub-Committee.

Members are asked to declare any interest and the nature of that interest that they may have in any of the items under consideration at this meeting.

Note: Any Member with a disclosable pecuniary interest will not be able to participate in the hearing, and should therefore notify Democratic Services in advance so that arrangements may be made for an alternate Member to attend.

There were no declarations of interest.

Appendices 1, 2 and 3 to the report are exempt under Paragraph 14(2) of the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005, which permits the Licensing Authority to exclude the press and public from all or part of the Hearing when it considers that the public interest in doing so outweighs the public interest in the hearing. The reasons for doing so are as follows:

-       Compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018

-       The protection of personal data

Members are reminded that whilst the aforementioned appendices have been marked as exempt, it is for the meeting to decide whether or not to consider each of them in private or in public. In making the decision, members should balance the interests of individuals or the Council itself in having access to the information. In considering their discretion members should also be mindful of the advice of Council Officers.

Should Members decide to exclude the press and public, they are recommended to resolve as follows:

“That under Paragraph 14(2) of the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005, the public and press be excluded from the meeting for the following item(s) of business on the grounds that, if the public and press were present, it would be likely that exempt information would be disclosed to them, and that in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.”

Resolved

(1)  That under Paragraph 14(2) of the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005, the public and press be excluded from the meeting for the following item(s) of business on the grounds that, if the public and press were present, it would be likely that exempt information would be disclosed to them, and that in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
