There had been circulated copies of an application for the grant of a Premises Licence.  Mr Wynne, Licensing Standards and Enforcement Officer advised that the application was for the new Club House, the previous one having been demolished as a result of a fire in February 2020.  The applicant had previously held a licence for the old premises and had been operating with occasional licences in the temporary accommodation since June 2021.  The application was within policy and there had been no objections received.  There were no objections from Police Scotland. 

The Convener welcomed, the applicant Mr George Hope, Verdant Leisure and his representative Mr McGowan of TLT, Solicitors   to the meeting via Teams.  Mr McGowan explained that Verdant Leisure, was an experienced licence holder, who operated across the Country.  Following the fire in 2021, the Company had invested in £2m in a new facility, creating 16 jobs in the height of the season.  The Application was within policy and the Company were happy to accept the planning condition in terms of live music outdoors ceasing after 11 p.m. and an assessment had been undertaken and submitted.

Mr Wynne advised that the condition on the planning permission would be removed once the noise impact assessment had been reviewed.  In response to a question about a disco continuing after 11 p.m. Mr Wynne confirmed that that disco music could continue as the volume was more manageable.
