The Chairman requested round the table introductions.

11     LICENCE HEARING (continued)

The Council’s legal representative advised the Committee that whilst further information had been received in defence of the review of the establishment, the Police had no further evidence at this point in time, however investigations were ongoing.

Legislation did not permit the applicant to withdraw the request for review, however it would not be in the public interest to adjourn the meeting for a second time.

It was therefore proposed that no action be taken at this time and a further application for review be submitted once further evidence be established.  All parties were in agreement.

RESOLVED that no action be taken at the present time.
