Minutes: The Chair invited the Licensing Officer to present the application
The Licensing Officer provided an outline of the application made by Berrybank Park Events limited for a new Premises License for the Amphitheatre and Pavilion at Berrybank Park, Main Road, Oddington, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire
The Licensing Officer described the venue, the Statement of Licensing Policy and the statutory guidelines requiring Licensing Authorities to consider four objectives when deciding to whether to grant or refuse a Premises Licence. These objectives were: · The prevention of crime and disorder · Public Safety · The prevention of public nuisance and · The protection of children from harm
The Chair invited questions to the Licensing Officer
The Sub-Committee confirmed that the application for a new Premises Licence, and the additional subsequent documentation containing plans, a statement, the Traffic Management Plan, the Noise Management Plan and supporting documentation had now been read and noted.
The Sub-Committee noted that the subsequent documentation was not part of the application for the new Premises Licence, but had accepted and considered it as useful additional information.

The Applicant, Mr Keith Cockell stated that the Amphitheatre and venue were created as a tribute to his deceased wife who had enjoyed and supported creative performing arts.
The Applicant stated that during its development, regular communication had been maintained with local residents through village newsletters, and this had built a sense of cooperation between the venue and the local village, and this had led to a Village Festival being one of the first events to take place at the venue.
The Applicant stated that the aim of the venue was to attract and host music and dramatic arts productions, providing easily accessible and affordable cultural events to local people. Ticket sales and positive local feedback had indicated that this was being achieved.
