The Chair made introductions and explained the procedure for the hearing, which was agreed by all parties.

The Licensing Officer presented the report, a copy of which had been circulated and a copy of which appears as Appendix C to these minutes in the Minute Book. The Sub Committee was asked to consider an application for a new premises licence for the premises known as Swan In Food and Wine, 29 Old Orchard, Poole BH15 1SD, to permit off sales of alcohol on days/times. The application had resulted in one representation from a Responsible Authority, Dorset Police, and four representations from Other Persons on the grounds that the licence if granted would undermine the prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance and protection of children from harm licensing objectives.

Dorset Police contacted the applicant with a view to mediate conditions as proposed in Appendix 4 of the report. As no response was received from the applicant to the conditions suggested by Dorset Police, its representation still stood.

A supplementary pack of information from Dorset Police in support of its representation had been submitted after the report was published, a copy of which had been circulated and which appears as Appendix D to these minutes in the Minute Book.
