The Licensing Officer
introduced the application. The purpose of the application was for
a new premises licence for Hyll Hotel, Charingworth Manor,
Charingworth, Ebrington, Chipping Campden. The application was
submitted by Mad Fabulous Hotels Limited.
They sought to supply alcohol
Monday – Sunday on and off sales 10am – 1am, Live and
recorded music Monday – Sunday 10am – 1am, late night
refreshments Monday – Sunday 11am – 1am, opening hours
for the hotel – 24 hours.
Members asked questions to the
Licensing Officer, who provided the following answers:
- A premises
licence allowed up to 5,000 people. Final capacity would be
determined in consultation with the Fire Service, and the applicant
would confirm the intended operating capacity.
The Applicant made the
following points:
- The current
Orangery licence permitted music until midnight and alcohol until
1am. The proposal had sought to align these, but following
discussions with residents the request was reduced to 12:30am for
music.
- A typical
event would host 80–120 guests.
- The new
application sought to modernise the licence and introduce stronger
safeguards, including a noise management plan, sound limiters,
closing doors and windows during music (from 10:30pm), and clear
measures to prevent nuisance and ensure guests leave
quietly.
- Environmental Health had raised no objection subject to a noise
management plan.
Members asked questions of the
applicant. They stated the following:
- That
nuisance would be noise and particularly the disturbance of sleep.
There was no intention to disturb residents and the proposed new
licence would introduce additional controls, including closing
windows and doors at 10.30pm and operating under a sound management
plan to better manage amplified music.
- For any
complaints, the residents would be able to contact the hotel
directly in the first instance, including the General Manager. Any
issues, such as windows being open would be addressed. The
applicant stated that complaints would not be ignored and
acknowledged that residents could escalate concerns to
Environmental Health, who could investigate if
necessary.
- The Noise
Managements plan had been drafted but not yet
submitted.
- The height
of the site could not be considered for this
application.
- Clarification of the activity was that live music would cease at
10:30pm and that under the Live Music Act 2012, live and recorded
music between 8:00am and 11:00pm was generally not a licensable
activity. If live music ended at 10:30pm, it would fall outside
licensable hours. Recorded music from 11:00pm to 12:30am would
remain a licensable activity and formed part of the
application.
- The
technical noise team had made no objections to the
application.
- The venue
would host approximately 30 weekend weddings per year, with
additional midweek corporate events.
- During
dispersal (12.30am–1.00am), a member of staff would be

directed to a designated pull-in ...
