Mrs Takhar had signed to confirm her agreement to this course of action.

The five conditions were:-

1. All staff will insist on evidence of age from any person appearing to be under 21 years of age and who is attempting to buy alcohol.

2. All staff will be trained with regard to the sale of alcohol and the law relating to it. Staff will be re-trained at least every three months.

With regard the Respondents submission it was noted that Mrs Takhar had signed to confirm her agreement to the five conditions been placed on the Licence and that an alternative Designated Premises Supervisor would be appointed within 3 months of this hearing.

In considering their decision Members had regard to the evidence which had been presented to them. The Committee also had regard to the statutory guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the Council's Licensing Policy.

The Committee noted that the Premises Licence Holder had confirmed that she was willing to attach a number of conditions to the Licence which would assist in improving standards at the premise and which satisfied the concerns of Trading Standards officers.

The Committee therefore agreed that the licence should be amended to include the conditions as detailed below which would have immediate effect.
