The Sub-Committee was asked to consider an application for a variation of the premises licence for the premise known as ‘London Market’, 188 Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth. The application for a variation was made to extend the permitted hours and allow the business to operate 24 hours, 7 days a week, for the supply of off sales of alcohol and to add late night refreshment between the hours of 23:00 and 05:00 each day. Current conditions 2.5 and 2.6 were requested to be amended and a number of additional conditions had been offered within the application to be imposed on the licence if granted. The premises also requested approval of a new proposed layout plan to replace the current newspaper shelving with a new chiller unit within the licensed area.

 

The Sub-Committee was advised that a representation had been received from one Responsible Authority, Dorset Police, on the grounds that to grant the application would undermine the prevention of crime and disorder and public safety licensing objectives
