• Operating schedule

   

  a) General - all four licensing objectives (b,c,d,e)

   

  The subject premises will apply a standard of operation which will ensure compliance with all four licensing objectives, based upon factors more particularly outlined in Sections (b) to (e) below.

   

  b) The prevention of crime and disorder

   

  The style of operation at these premises is designed to minimise crime and disorder. This will be achieved by the use of CCTV, with the retention of tapes for a minimum of 31 days for prosecution purposes. The premises seek to benefit solely from the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises. These premises will operate "Challenge 25" policy in order to ensure that liquor is sold only to persons of lawful age (being that, should a person not look the age of 25 then he/she would need to prove that they are in fact of lawful age 18 or over). These issues also overlap on the section dealing with protection of children from harm. All staff undergo training concerning knowledge of Licensing Laws together with social impact upon the sale of alcohol.

   

  c) Public safety

   

  The issue of "Challenge 25" in order to ensure lawful sales of alcohol, is already referred to in the section above dealing with prevention of crime and disorder which should be equally referred to in this section. It is proposed that these premises purely operate for the consumption of liquor off the premises.

  There are no issues applicable to the operation of these premises relating to Crowd Management or Noise Pollution.

   

  d) The prevention of public nuisance

   

  These premises are proposed to be registered for the consumption of liquor off the premises only. In addition to there being no consumption on the premises, there is no form of entertainment on the premises. There are no outdoor areas utilised for the benefit of members of the public and the nature of the operation does not require the employment of door supervisors or use of dedicated cab firms. The premises operate within the required letter/refuse regulations adopted by the local Council. The management policy at the premises is to welcome communication with any local persons in relation to any issues which arise concerning the operation of these premises.

   

  e) The protection of children from harm

   

  It is proposed that these premises will benefit from a Premises Licence for consumption off the premises only. In order to ensure compliance with legislation, the Company will operate a "Challenge 25" policy whereby any person not looking the age of 25 must prove that they are in fact over the lawful age of 18 for the purpose of sale of alcohol. Acceptable forms of ID concerning the issue of age are UK or EU "photo-card style" driving licence, PASS approved proof of age cards, ten year passport, Biometric Resident Permit, a national ID issued by a EU country, Ministry of Defence "Form 90" identification cards, or any other locally or nationally approved forms of identification shall be accepted as proof of age including the Portman Card & Citizen Card. All staff are obligated to familiarise themselves with these requirements. The Company will opearate a due diligence policy , incorporating the "challenge 25" policy above, but also incorporating full training for all staff, the operation of a refusal book and refresher training on a regular basis. The store will operate a fully recordable CCTV system which is overtly operable. There will be prominent signage located throughout the store confirming the legal minimum age for the purchase of alcohol.
