4 Application for the Review of a Premises Licence - Bar Iguana/Premier PDF 15 MB
Minutes:
The Assistant Director of Planning, Transport and Regulatory Services submitted a report on an application by Thames Valley Police for the review of a Premises Licence in respect of Bar Iguana/Premier, 11 St Marys Butts, Reading, RG1 2LN.
The report stated that Thames Valley Police had requested a review of the Premises Licence due to serious concerns that the premises was failing to support the licensing objectives.
The report explained that these concerns were based on the number of violent incidents that had occurred in and around the premises, which included large scale fights, possession of drugs, a stabbing and use of a Taser to arrest an individual. The most recent of these incidents had taken place on 21December 2019 where a large-scale disorder had occurred outside the premises. Inspection of the premises had also found a number of management failures, which had not been remedied despite written requests from Licensing officers. A copy of the review application form was attached to the report at Appendix JC1.
The report stated that during the 28-day consultation period, representations had been received from Reading Borough Council Licensing Team which were attached to the report at Appendix JC2.
A copy of the current licence was attached at Appendix JC5 and authorised the following licensable activities:
