Minutes: The Licensing Officer introduced the application. The purpose of the item was to consider an application for a Street trading consent made by Frederik Jacobs for The Old Mill, Mill Lane, Lower Slaughter. The Licensing Officer explained that the Applicant had applied for a twelve-month street trading consent to allow them to sell hot and cold beverages, ice cream and packed sandwiches from 10am to 5pm on Fridays, 9am to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and 9am to 5pm, seven days a week during the peak season (July to September). The Licensing Officer also explained that the applicant would be responsible for applying for planning permission if required, but that the Sub-Committee’s remit was only to look at the Licensing application. The Licensing Officer distributed additional information that the Applicant had submitted, including a route plan of their litter picking operations The Sub-Committee asked questions of the Licensing Officer, which were responded to as follows; The site would be on a private piece of land, belonging to the Applicant, and therefore there were no highway concerns.

The Sub-Committee asked questions of the Applicant and their solicitor which were answered as follows; The Parish Council did not explicitly submit a supporting statement as the solicitor had been instructed after the consultation deadline had passed. The horse box would not be permanent and would be a way of publicising that the mill and its would be reopening after renovation. Seating was discussed, the Applicant had felt it would be more disruptive to include this but that there would be permanent seating once the café would reopen. Two objectors Mr Andrew Bowler and Mr Stuart Thomas addressed the Sub-Committee and raised concerns over litter. In particular, one of the objectors mentioned that litter could get dispersed throughout the trail, and that the previous business did not operate takeaway facilities. The objectors also stated that there would be a potential issue with the direction of the queue, but the applicant stated that they could control ... view the full minutes text for item 14.
