FILMING OF PUBLIC MEETINGS
“The Council supports the principle of transparency and encourages
filming, recording and taking photographs at its meetings that are open
to the public. It also welcomes the use of social networking websites
(such as Twitter and Facebook) and micro-blogging to communicate
with people about what is happening, as it happens.
There is no requirement to notify the Council in advance, but it should
be noted that the Chairman of the meeting will have absolute discretion
to terminate or suspend any of these activities if, in their opinion,
continuing to do so would prejudice proceedings at the meeting.
The circumstances in which termination or suspension might occur
could include:
•public disturbance or suspension of the meeting
•the meeting agreeing to formally exclude the press and public from the
meeting due to the confidential nature of the business being discussed
•where it is considered that continued recording / photography / filming
/webcasting might infringe the rights of any individual
•when the Chairman considers that a defamatory statement has been
made
In allowing this, the Council asks those recording proceedings not to
edit the film/recording/photographs in a way that could lead to
misinterpretation of the proceedings, or infringe the core values of the
Council. This includes refraining from editing an image or views
expressed in a way that may ridicule, or show a lack of respect towards
those being photographed/filmed/recorded.
Those intending to bring large equipment, or wishing to discuss any
special requirements are advised to contact the Council's
Communications Team in advance of the meeting to seek advice and
guidance. Please note that such requests will be subject to practical
considerations and the constraints of specific meeting rooms.
The use of flash photography or additional lighting will not be allowed
unless this has been discussed in advance of the meeting and
agreement reached on how it can be done without disrupting
proceedings.
At the beginning of each meeting, the Chairman will make an
announcement that the meeting may be filmed, recorded or
photographed. Meeting agendas will also carry this message.”

NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL
LICENSING COMMITTEE AND SUB-COMMITTEE
PROCEDURE FOR ALL HEARINGS HELD UNDER THE LICENSING ACT 2003
INTRODUCTION
1.
The Licensing Committee and Sub-Committee has the duty under the Licensing
Act 2003 (“the Act”) to determine applications for any Licence under the Act where
relevant representations have been made. This also includes reviews, variations
and transfers. The Licensing Committee has determined that, subject to the
provisions of The Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005 (“the
regulations”), the procedure to be followed at the hearing will be as set out herein.
2
The majority of determinations will be made by the Licensing Sub-Committee.
However in appropriate cases, it may be decided that the Licensing Committee will
make a determination. Decisions will be taken in accordance with an approved
scheme of delegation aimed at underlining the principles of timely, efficient and
effective decision-making.
NOTICE OF HEARING
3.
The Licensing Section shall on behalf of the Licensing Authority give to the parties
Notice of the Hearing, in accordance with the regulations. The parties to the
hearing include (where relevant) the applicant, the licence holder, the user of the
premises, the club, the chief officer of police and the persons making the relevant
representations. Notice to the applicant (or licence holder) shall also include
copies of the relevant representations which have been made.
DISCLOSURE
4.
The Licensing Authority strongly urges all parties involved in any hearing to ensure
that there is full advance disclosure between the parties of any additional
information (in support of the application or representation) to be put before the
Committee hearing and that copies are provided to Law and Democratic Services
within 5 working days of the hearing for distribution purposes. Failure to disclose
may result in the information not being admitted. If any party produces information
at the hearing, where advance disclosure has not taken place, the Committee may
not take that information into account unless the other parties consent.
ATTENDANCE AT HEARINGS
5.
Any party may attend the hearing and may be assisted or represented by any
person whether or not that person is legally qualified. The hearing shall take place
in public. The Committee may exclude the public from all or part of a hearing on
3
public interest grounds. If a party has informed the licensing authority that he does
not intend to attend or be represented at a hearing, or fails to attend or be
represented, the hearing may proceed in his absence. Where the hearing takes
place in the absence of any party the Committee shall consider representations
made by that party.
HEARINGS
6.
The Chairman will open the Committee and introduce any members and officers
present at the hearing. All parties or representatives will be asked to introduce
themselves to the Committee. The legal advisor to the Committee will ensure all
parties understand the procedure and, if this is not understood, will explain the
procedure to the parties.
7.
Hearings shall commence in the form of a discussion led by the legal advisor to the
Committee. The purpose of the discussion will be to establish any preliminary
matters such as:(a) whether any representations have been withdrawn.
(b) whether a hearing is still necessary.
(c) whether any person other than a party or person representing a party has the
permission of the committee to appear at the hearing.
(d) if the licensing authority has sought clarification of any information from any
party, whether that party has any further information in response to that request.
(e) if any party wishes to produce any further information at the hearing whether the
other parties consent to that other information being produced (see 4. above).
(f) whether any information produced by any party is relevant to the application,
representations or to the promotion of the licensing objectives. Where the licensing
authority considers that it is not relevant it shall inform the parties that it shall
disregard that information. The legal advisor to the committee will give advice
where appropriate.
(g) where there are a number of objectors making the same point the Committee
may invite such objectors to appoint a spokesperson.
(h) whether there should be an adjournment (see 9. below) and if so the Committee
will adjourn to a specified date (or additional dates).
(i) members of the committee may ask any questions.
(j) where any party wishes to address the committee or ask questions of any party
appearing at the hearing, the party will seek permission to do so and the
committee will consider whether permission is given (and if so the form of the
hearing will proceed forthwith on a contested basis).
The time allocated for the preliminary discussion will normally be 10 minutes.
8.
Once the “preliminaries” have been addressed the licensing officer will set out the
nature and details of the application, review, variation or transfer etc, including the
representations being made. The parties may at this stage be asked to confirm or
clarify the details of what has just been said. The Committee will then invite the
4
parties, who have sought to address the Committee, to do so and will follow the
order set out in paragraph 10 below.
9. During the contested hearing all parties will be allowed the same amount of time.
Some flexibility will be given. Where necessary some extra time will be allowed. If
extra time is given the other parties will be asked if there is anything else they wish
to add or say. The maximum time allowed is only likely to be enforced if it appears
that one party is obtaining an unfair advantage (or the other parties are not
receiving a fair hearing) as a consequence of any prolongation. The maximum time
may also be enforced in the interests of timeliness, particularly to avoid
unnecessary repetition.
Please take the details contained in paragraph 10 as notification of the maximum
time to be allowed (UNLESS notified otherwise).
If any party considers that the time to be allowed is not sufficient written
representations should be made, at the earliest opportunity, to Law and Democratic
Services (to the address specified on the Notice of Hearing) setting out reasons
why more time is necessary. Such requests will be accommodated only where
necessary and possible. If this is not possible the hearing may be adjourned to
another date or may proceed in the allocated time. The Licensing Authority
considers that it is the responsibility of the parties to ensure where possible that
they can present their cases in the allocated time. The parties are encouraged to
put anything which it wishes to address to the Committee in writing, therefore
saving time. Adjournments will usually only be granted as a last resort.
10. The normal maximum allocated time and order of play will be as set out below:i. Applicant has 20 minutes in total to address the Committee in opening speech and
call any witnesses in support of their application.
ii. Questions by members of the Committee (5 minutes).
iii. Responsible Authorities have 20 minutes each in total to address the Committee
and call any witnesses in support of their representation.
iv. Questions by members of the Committee (5 minutes).
v. Interested parties have 20 minutes each in total to address the Committee and call
any witnesses in support of their representation.
vi. Questions by members of the Committee (5 minutes).
vii. Closing speech, to sum up, by any party, if permission given (5 minutes each).
5
It is a matter for the parties how they decide to divide their allocated time, whether
they call any witnesses at all or simply wish to rely on submissions. The parties are
asked to consider this themselves before the hearing.
On the basis that there will normally have been full disclosure of information, and
that the Committee members will have read all papers before the hearing, the
Licensing Authority is of the opinion that opening speeches and evidence in-chief
should be brief.
Cross examination will not normally be allowed. In exceptional cases specific
questions may be permitted with the prior agreement of the Committee.
DETERMINATIONS
11. Decisions following police objection to a temporary event notice or a review
following a closure order will always be made at the conclusion of the hearing. In
other cases the Committee must make its determination within 5 working days of
the last day of the hearing. However wherever possible the Committee shall
endeavour to make its decision at the conclusion of the hearing.
In which case the Committee will retire (or ask the parties to leave the room) and
make its determination. The legal advisor may provide advice to the Committee in
respect of its decision but will not take part in the decision making. If the Committee
needs to seek clarification from any party, Members will return to the meeting.
12. In all cases Law and Democratic Services will confirm the decision of the Committee
in writing to all parties, including any conditions and reasons, and will inform them
of their right, and time permitted, to appeal the decision.

application to vary a Premises Licence at
[Premises & Address]

against those that do not.
Stronger Community:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

involves representations made by [Reps] on the grounds of [Licensing Objectives].
RECOMMENDATIONS

appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives.
REASONS FOR DECISION
Must have regard to: North East Lincolnshire Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy.
 Guidance issued by the Secretary of State under s.182 of the Act.
Steps taken must be appropriate for the promotion of the Licensing Objectives, namely: the prevention of crime and disorder;

1.
BACKGROUND AND ISSUES
These are fully contained in the report of Kate Todd.
2.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Crime and Disorder – If the Sub-Committee finds that the grant of this
application would undermine the licensing objectives, it must to
consider what, if any, steps are appropriate to prevent this. If
appropriate steps are not taken there is a risk that the licensing
objectives will not be promoted.
Human Rights – The premises licence holder is entitled to a fair
hearing; article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights
applies. Article 8, the right to respect for private and family life, also
applies as the “licence” is crucial to the livelihood of the premises
licence holder. The Human Rights of the wider community are also
engaged.
Equality and Diversity – No direct effects
Value for Money –The aim must be to take action that prevents
problems persisting and using further licensing resources.
The Impact on the Social, Economic and Environmental well-being
of the Borough – Action taken to ensure that licensed premises
promote the licensing objectives will have a positive impact in these
respects.
Environmental Sustainability Implications - None
3.
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED
If considered necessary, the steps which may be taken are:


Modify the conditions of the licence (i.e. the operating schedule
for the application). Existing conditions can be altered or omitted
or new conditions added.
Reject the whole application
Reject part of the application
(The conditions of the licence are modified if any of them are altered or
omitted or any new condition is added.)
If no steps are deemed necessary, the variation of the licence should
be granted in the form that it was made.
8
4.
REPUTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS CONSIDERATIONS
There are potential positive reputational implications for the Council
resulting from the decision where appropriate action has seen to have
been taken. An action plan has been agreed with the Council’s
communications service covering information requirements and
communication channels to be utilised.
5.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This report relates to a determination required in response to a
an application made under the Licensing Act 2003. The process is
governed by statutory regulations and the fees involved are statutory.
There are no direct resource or funding implications in the first instance
but there may be on appeal (see Section 5).
6.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The premises licence holder, the responsible authorities and any
relevant person have a right of appeal against the decision made to the
Magistrates and/or High Court. If the Licensing sub-committee takes a
step which is considered to be unnecessary or unlawful by a higher
court there is a risk that an award of costs may be ordered against the
Council in favour of the successful appellant. Such costs are difficult to
quantify or estimate.
7.
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
These are covered in the body of the report of the Licensing Officer.
8.
HUMAN RESOURCES IMPLICATIONS
There are no Human Resource Implications.
9.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS
No implications

WARD IMPLICATIONS

Dear North East Lincolnshire Licensing
Re: Application to Vary the premise licence for Swashbuckle, Grant Street, Cleethorpes.
I write on behalf of the Chief Constable of Humberside Police. The Chief Constable wishes to make representations on
Swashbuckle on the grounds that if granted the application could undermine the prevention of crime and disorder
licensing objective.
The Facts that the Chief Constable relies on in support of the objection are, in summary:

Swashbuckle is situated in a CIZ area of Cleethorpes, which has a number of late-night venues.

There is a significant number of reported drink related crimes and calls for service associated with
this premise over a six month period .This premise is placed in the Humberside police list in the
top 10 of offending premises for North East Lincolnshire.
The Chief Constable reserves the right to serve further evidence in support of these representations and to expand upon
the representations at any hearing in relation to the objection to the application.
Yours faithfully
Kenneth Stone 3052
Licensing Officer
