Minutes: Section 29: Application for Variation of Premises Licence. Consider the following applications for Variation of Premises Licence. There had been received three section 29 applications from Sainsbury’s SL Limited and Mr Wynne explained that as all of the applications were requesting the same changes to the operating plan without objections they could be considered collectively. Mr
Kirk advised that Niall Hassard, Legal Director TLT was unable to
attend the meeting due to a meeting conflict and had submitted a
written statement which had been circulated to the Board prior to
the meeting. The statement explained
that during a recent review of 100+ premises licences for all the
Scottish supermarket and local convenience stores, it became
apparent that, over time, whether through grandfather rights or
organic growth of the estate the core premises licence permissions
varied significantly between Boards and moreover some
stores’ licences even
varied within the same Board area.
Sainbury’s were therefore seeking to vary all
Sainsbury’s licences and
to future proof elsewhere e.g. to ensure the ever-growing delivery
business had been picked up within the operating plan. The application for variation amended the description for
continuity with other stores; added recorded music and live
performance (to cover those ad hoc seasonal activities);
identified general retail may occur outwith licensed hours but not
normally before 7am or post 11pm; confirmed the position around
home deliveries in line with the 2005 Act and the wording of other
activities was widened to capture activities which may happen in
some stores from time to time e.g. sampling or product
launches. There was no change to the
alcohol provision and the variations were simply to address
ancillary matters covered by the licence. (i) Sainsbury’s SL Limited Sainsbury’s Store Commercial Road Hawick TD9 7AW
