There had been circulated Report No HLB/043/15 by the Clerk which invited the Board to consider the responses received to the consultation on the introduction of a supplementary policy statement on extended hours for special events of local or national significance and to decide whether to introduce such a statement. 

On hearing from the Clerk and Depute Clerk in relation to the Report and the consultation responses received, Members expressed support for option 1 as set out in the Report which was to allow extended opening hours for any of the special events of local or national significance which the Board identified in its supplementary policy statement but only where an application under Section 68 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 has first been lodged with and granted by the Board. 

Thereafter, Members suggested that the extended hours for local events be restricted to the locality of the event and discussed the list of events of local or national significance in respect of which the supplementary policy should apply. It was also suggested that the same hours should apply to these events as for the Festive period. 

Following further discussion, the Board AGREED to introduce a supplementary policy statement with the following principal terms:- 

i. option 1 as set out in the Report;
ii. extended hours for local events be restricted to the locality of the event;
iii. the following be listed as events of local or national significance:

iv. the same hours as for the Festive Period would generally be allowed for these events.

The Board further AGREED that the Clerk to the Board prepare a draft supplementary policy statement incorporating these terms for submission to the next meeting of the Board for final approval.

7.1 Ref: HC/RSL/1734
Applicant: Edward Tweedie 
Premises: The Cottage Restaurant, 1 Bosville Terrace, Portree, IV51 9DG
Type: On Sales 

There had been circulated Report No HLB/044/15 by the Clerk advising that a timeous notice of objection dated 20 April 2015 in relation to the application had been received from Mr J Catoe. The Report invited the Board to determine the application.

The Clerk reported that a late objection had been received from Portree and Braes Community Council. He advised that an e-mail had been received from the Secretary of the Community Council explaining that the correspondence in relation to the application had not reached her in time to submit a timeous response and this may have been due to the fact she had been away from home or as a result of a delay in the post or a combination of both factors.

On hearing from the Clerk and Mr E Tweedie, Applicant, who confirmed that he had no objections to the Community Council’s objection being heard, the Board AGREED to accept the late objection.

Mr E Tweedie then spoke in support of his application during which he raised the following points:-

• that he had experienced a particular demand from European visitors to eat in his restaurant later into the evening;
• that the premises was a food led establishment and he had no intention to encourage patrons into the premises solely for the consumption of alcohol;
• that in regard to issues of overprovision raised by the Objector, there were very few premises in Portree which served meals after 9pm;
• in regard to the Community Council’s objection he explained that there was no intention to locate a public bar within the premises;
• it was in his own interests to ensure that there was no noise and disturbance arising from the restaurant operation given that his core business was the operation of the guest house;
• he proposed to erect a larger fence with appropriate signage around the garden area at the side of the premises; he also confirmed that the garden area would be closed at 2200hrs to ensure there was no noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents; and
• in conclusion he advised that the application accorded with the Board’s policy and the licensing objectives and if granted would provide maximum flexibility within his business operation.

Thereafter, the Board heard from Mr J Catoe, Objector, who expressed concern in regard to that part of the application which sought late opening hours to 0100hrs and specifically in relation to potential noise disturbance arising from the premises which was located next door to his property and in a predominately residential area. In this regard Mr Catoe also advised that a neighbour had raised a petition which had been signed by local residents objecting to the granting of on sales hours to 0100hrs, a copy of which he could provide to the Board. 

Following discussion in regard to the Council’s approach to petitions, the Board AGREED not to accept the late petition in its determination of the application.

Following questions to both parties and during the debate on the application Members expressed the view that the application accorded with the Board’s policy and should be granted. 

The Board AGREED to grant the application subject to the mandatory conditions and the local condition detailed in the Report.

There had been circulated Report No HLB/051/15 by the Clerk advising that the following timeous notices of objection had been received and inviting the Board to determine the application:-

• Email dated 10 April 2015 from Janice Macrae, The Bungalow, 20 Argyle Street, Ullapool;
• Email dated 10 April 2015 from Iris Macrae, Lochbeag, 20 Argyle Street, Ullapool; and 
• Email dated 10 April 2015 from Kathleen Mackay, 18 Pulteney Street, Ullapool

The Clerk noted that the objectors were not present at the meeting but that the Board should take the terms of their objections into account in the determination of the application.

Mr S McGowan spoke in support of the application, during which he raised the following points:-

• that the application accorded with the Board’s policy and effectively sought only to vary the existing licence by extending the terminal hour from 2400hrs to 0100 hours on a Sunday;
• that the objector Janice Macrae appeared to be unaware that the premises already operated to 0100hours from Monday to Saturday which suggested that noise disturbance was not an issue in relation to the premises; Ms Macrae also resided in London and therefore her property was not her main or permanent residence, being operated as a holiday let for most of the year; 
• that the applicants had operated the premises for 8 years without complaint in regard to live music performances and any suggestion of ongoing complaints by the objectors was entirely refuted by his clients;
• the nature of the live music provided was acoustic led which did not typically give rise to complaint;
• there was an inbuilt check in regard to noise at the premises in that the applicants had to ensure there was no disturbance to residents staying in the Hotel;
• the premises benefited from the existence of management procedures in regard to noise, details of which were provided to the Board, and it was suggested that there was no evidence to justify a condition being attached to the licence requiring a noise management plan to be put in place; it was suggested that this would be unwarranted and disproportionate to the nature of the operation; and
• in the event of any issues around noise arising the applicants were willing to engage with the Licensing Standards Officer and the neighbouring residents to discuss and resolve any issues.

Following questions to the Applicant’s representative and during discussion, Members expressed the view that they were content with the grant of the application subject to the conditions detailed in the Report, and were satisfied with the management procedures which were currently in place at the premises to minimise any noise disturbance and therefore that a separate condition requiring a noise management plan was not required.

The Board AGREED to grant the application subject to the mandatory conditions, the existing local conditions and the additional conditions detailed in the Report with the exception of the condition requiring a noise management plan.

Applicant: Roderick Russell Mackenzie (agent) 65 High Street, Fortrose, IV10 8SU
Premises: The Plough, 48 High Street, Rosemarkie IV10 8UF

There had been circulated Report No. HLB-054-15 by the Clerk which advised that a notice in terms of section 33(6) (b) of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 had been received from Police Scotland, confirming that they had no objection or representations to the application, a copy of which was set out at Appendix 1 of the report.

The Clerk advised that notwithstanding that Police Scotland had no objections to the application the Board was required to hold a hearing in terms of the Act.

Thereafter, the Board AGREED to grant the application.

12. Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 Section 36 Request for a Review Hearing – Premises Licence
Achd Ceadachd (Alba) 2005 Earrann 36 – Iarrtas airson Eisteachd Athbhreithneachaidh – Ceadachd Thogalaichean 

12.1 Licence Holder: Club House Scotland Limited, Club House Hotel, 45 Seabank Road, Nairn IV12 4EY, per Lorna Murray, Solicitor, 45 Culduthel Road, Inverness IV2 4HQ.
Premises: Club House Hotel, 45 Seabank Road, Nairn IV12 4EY

There had been circulated Report No HLB/055/15 by the Clerk which related to an application under Section 36 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 by the Licensing Standards Officer for a review of the premises licence in respect of the Club House Hotel, 45 Seabank Road, Nairn and advised that the Board was required to hold a hearing in respect of the application. 

The Report advised that the grounds of review relied on in the application were infringement of the third licensing objective: prevention of public nuisance. The nuisance alleged was noise nuisance. Full details of the grounds of the review were set out in the review application which was appended in Appendix 1 to the Report. A noise report by Environmental Health was also appended as Appendix 2 to the Report, together with a Police witness statement at Appendix 3. A copy of the formal complaints received in April 2015 which had triggered the review application were attached at Appendices 4, 5 and 6 to the Report.

The Board then heard from Mr I Cox, Licensing Standards Officer in regard to the circumstances which had led to his request for a review of the premises licence for the Club House Hotel, Nairn. During his submission he circulated a street map showing the location of premises in relation to the properties of the complainants. In conclusion the Licensing Standards Officer advised that the premises were a well run establishment and that the difficulties in regard to noise and disturbance which had arisen were directly related to the operation of functions at the Hotel within a tight residential area. He also noted that the licence holders had applied for planning permission for a purpose built function suite but that this had been withdrawn following objections from both statutory consultees and neighbouring residents. 

Thereafter, Mr B Stewart and Ms L Christensen outlined the terms of their complaints during which they raised a number of points, including:-

• that it was regrettable an amicable resolution to the complaints raised in respect of the premises had not been possible and that the matter had reached the stage of a formal review hearing;
• that Mr Stewart was both a local resident and a member of Nairn West Community Council and as such had found himself the focus of a significant number of approaches from local residents when difficulties had arisen in respect of the premises; 
• that Mr Stewart was actively supportive both of businesses which provided high quality facilities for tourists and the aspiration of the licence holders to provide a boutique hotel offering fine dining and accommodation aimed largely at golfing visitors; 
• that the difficulties around the operation of the Hotel were entirely caused by the fact that it was located in and entirely surrounded by a residential area and the challenge was to achieve a balance between the operation of the premises as a business and the reasonable expectation of residents not to be disturbed; specifically the crux of the problem was in relation to function/events/parties rather than its operation as an accommodation provider and restaurant;
• that functions and events were held in the restaurant, conservatory, and garden areas of the premises none of which were sound proofed for the purpose; this had generated complaints from two groups of residents in particular, those living beside and opposite the premises who had been disturbed by rowdy guests on the street, late night parking and traffic and the early morning clean-up operations, and also those living beside and behind the clubhouse and further away who had been disturbed by live and amplified music and noisy guests in the garden area;
• that local residents had pursued a number of different avenues over a period of years to have these difficulties resolved including dialogue with the premises licence holders, calls to the Police, complaints to the Licensing Standards Officer, and complaints directly to himself as a Community Councillor; the number of complaints in total significantly exceeded those which had been formally submitted to the Licensing Standards Officer, and Mr Stewart advised that he had retained a full record of those complaints, details of which he could make available to the Board;
• that noise disturbance was the major issue in relation to the operation of the premises, and it was suggested that local residents should not have to endure the unacceptable level of noise and disturbance which they had suffered in relation to functions and parties at the premises over a considerable period of time;
• that local residents found it difficult to confront and complain to the licence holders and recently there had been no open dialogue with them; and 
• that the premises should be run as a boutique hotel offering accommodation and fine dining and it was not an appropriate venue to hold functions and parties in the premises located in a mainly residential area.

Mrs L Murray on behalf of the Premises Licence Holders raised the following points in support of her clients;- 

• that the premises were a family run Hotel, fitted out to a high standard, which employed 24 members of staff locally and she provided further details in regard to the nature and scale of the operation at the premises;
• the Hotel was licensed only to -0030hrs on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays and 12 Midnight on the other days of the week which was earlier than the Board’s policy hours of 0100hrs;
• that the premises had a long held reputation as a function Hotel hosting weddings and other celebratory events over a number of years. Her clients had purchased the premises in 2011 and embarked on a comprehensive programme of modernisation and renovation, however the core operation and footprint of the Hotel had remained unchanged
• her clients acknowledged that the premises were located in a residential area but suggested that it was not unique in this regard and referred to other similar premises in Nairn which were surrounded by residential properties;
• the premises were popular amongst and relied on the local community for its day to day trade and that functions and events represented a small but important element of the business and that typically 8 to 10 functions were held each year; her clients accepted they were accountable for managing the business without giving rise to neighbour conflict and dispute and wished to work in harmony with their neighbours and also have regard to the comfort of their own residents;
• her clients acknowledged that they had faltered on occasions in achieving the appropriate balance in regard to the impact on neighbours but throughout had listened to the complaints and heeded the advice given by the Licensing Standards Officer and Environmental Health Officer;
• in this regard her clients had discontinued the holding of functions in a marquee to the rear of the Hotel with all functions being held within the fabric of the premises; 
• following the noise complaints received in September 2014 her client had taken immediate steps to minimise the noise escape, including repositioning the band away from the conservatory area into the main structure of the premises behind a solid internal wall, and taking steps to ensure windows and doors were not left open; 
• thereafter no complaints had been received between September and April 2015 and that over this period six functions had been held which she suggested provided evidence of the success of those measures and demonstrated that the Hotel could continue to offer functions and live in harmony with the neighbours;
• following the complaints received in April 2015 her clients immediately revisited their management protocols and had engaged a noise specialist Mr A Belby, Media Pro Scotland; she advised that a copy of Mr Belby’s report and findings had been circulated to the Board and the complainants; 
• that above report recommended a number of noise measures and practices which her clients were content to implement as soon as practicably possible; these measures included signage on doors and windows to alert customers they should remain closed, installation of alarms on doors and air conditioning to discourage customers opening doors and windows; clear signage inviting customers to smoke only at the front of the premises; installation of a noise meter to allow staff to monitor noise levels in and around the premises; and installation of a monitoring system which would cut power to the band/DJ if they continually played above agreed noise limits;
• that the proposal was for the noise professional and the Environmental Health Officer to meet on site to agree the noise limits to be set and monitored; 
• that Mr Belby was confident that if the measures he had recommended were implemented noise levels could be contained without disturbance to neighbours and that this demonstrated the Hotel could operate in harmony with local residents;
• that if her clients decided to re-visit the issues of applying for planning permission for a purpose built function suite then this would incorporate all sound proofing measures; 
• that three letters of support of the premises had been received from neighbouring residents details of which she provided to the Board; and
• that the Premises Manager was willing to make his mobile number available to residents and would be content to discuss directly any concerns with them and resolve any issues.

Following questions from Members to the Licensing Standards Officer, Mrs L Murray and the complainants, all parties were invited to to sum up on their submissions. 

Mr Stewart welcomed the recommendations of the noise expert which were designed to alleviate the problem which had been identified, albeit he and local residents had not been aware of Mr Belby’s report or its findings. However the above discussion had demonstrated that the premises were fundamentally deficient for the holding of functions. It had yet to be demonstrated that the measures set out in the report would be effective. In this regard it would be appropriate to consider further limitations on nature and scale of events to be conducted at the premises. If the viability of the business relied on frequent large scale celebratory events it had to be questioned whether this was the appropriate business model for the locality. 

Mrs L Murray advised that her clients should be allowed the opportunity to demonstrate that a solution could be put in place to the satisfaction of all parties and were willing to meet with local residents at any time and on a regular basis to work with them to ensure any issues were resolved. She also advised that her clients would also be willing to arrange for noise levels at their properties to be monitored if they so wished. 

During discussion, Members raised the following points:- 

• that the licence holders be given the opportunity to demonstrate that the mitigation measures proposed by the noise consultant and set out in his report would be effective; however an assurance was required that these measures would be implemented as soon as possible; 
• it was also important that continual monitoring of the premises be undertaken by Environmental Health following the implementation of the mitigation measures;
• that following the implementation of the above measures and in the event that complaints continued to be received then Licensing Standards Officer bring back a further application for a review of the premises licence;
• that it would be appropriate for the licence holders to submit a noise management plan to take account of the measures recommended by the noise specialist employed by the licence holders and also the matters raised by the Licensing Standards Officer;
• that stewarding should also form part of any noise management plan;
• it was a suggested that the licence holders be issued with a written warning in regard to the noise and disturbance which had been associated with the operation of the Hotel to date;
• it was suggested that the premises were not fit for purpose being located in a mainly residential area;
• that the commitment by the licence holders to engage in open dialogue with local residents was welcomed; and,
• that the premises were an excellent facility in Nairn and provided local employment and it was important that all parties worked together to find a positive way forward to overcome the difficulties which had been outlined.

Thereafter, the Board AGREED to:- 

i. to issue a written warning to the licence holder;

ii. to vary the licence by inserting the following condition:

“A written noise management plan acceptable to the Highland Licensing Board must be in place for the premises and any relevant activity or service being provided must be conducted in accordance with that plan.”;

iii.  that the noise management plan include the items listed after “conclusions” and “further” on the second page of the Report from Mediapro dated 6 May 2015 and such other matters as considered appropriate by the Board; and

iv. that any works required to be carried out as soon as practicably possible.
