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 Ground Floor premises which had previously been owned by Sainsbury and had held a Licence.  The Co-op had recently acquired the property and had carried out an extensive refurbishment to create a new Co-op store.  The application was for off sales, was within policy and no objections had been received.  Police Scotland had no objections.

 

The Convener welcomed, Mr Lewis Barn, representing the Co-op to the meeting via Teams.  Mr Barn explained that the application contained standard terms and was similar to Licences held by Co-ops stores throughout the Borders.  Mr Barn went on to explain that the newly refurbished premises would replace the co-op store situated at 70 High Street, Selkirk with all staff transferring to the new store.  The Co-op was very committed to the local area and would be employing additional staff in the new store.  Mr Barn confirmed that the store was scheduled to open in September 2024, rather than July as previously stated.

 

DECISION

AGREED TO Grant.
