First - the good news! After complainng to Council officers that there was no site notice covering the the alcohol license application, I received the following email from the head of Public Protection:
"Whilst we have evidence that the applicant placed an advert in the CNJ on 14 January 2010, the applicant is not able to prove that they have displayed a notice on the premises site for a period of 28 consecutive days. The applicant contends that the notice was displayed but a visit by one of our enforcement officers to the site on 3 February 2010 established that there was no notice on display. The applicant has failed to comply with the statutory requirements of the Act and this effectively invalidates the application. We have informed the applicant and will also write to those residents who have submitted representations to inform them of the status of the application.
It is likely that the applicant will resubmit the application almost immediately and we shall ensure that all residents are written to as soon as a further application is made. Any person who has already made a representation will not need to resubmit their representation but will need to confirm that they would like the representation to be considered in respect of the new application. We will also consult with all residents living within a 50m radius of the premises. Our records show that this extends to residents of Weech Hall on Fortune Green Road, odd numbers 65-67 Fortune Green Road, even numbers 82-118 Fortune Green Road, and 41-50 Ingham Road, a total of 76 residential properties.
So we have longer to put in our "representations"! So get writing \(see earlier post for details
The bad news is that there is no requirement for internal servicing - so it does mean lorries on the road. Next stop for me is highways department and parking officers. I shall ask for a site visit!
