I PREMISES LICENCE REVIEW HEARINGS

 

In accordance with Schedule 3, Paragraph 10 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005, each premises licence holder must pay the annual fee by the 1st October each year. The Licensing Department by law, had to send a reminder letter out before the annual fee was due. This letter was sent out to the registered address of the premises or their legal agent during August 2024. If people had failed to pay by the 1st October, 2024, then a second letter reminding them to pay immediately was sent out, a final email was sent in November, 2024. Licensing Standards Officers contacted premises who had still failed to pay.

 

Accordingly, the Board agreed to hold review hearings in respect of the undernoted premises:-

 

(i)                     JAHANGIR RESTAURANT, 1 SESSION STREET

 

Having heard from the Board's Legal Adviser, it was noted the licence holder had surrendered their licence, therefore the Board agreed that no further action be taken.

 

(ii)                    MCNICOLL & CAIRNIE, 100 GRAY STREET

 

Having heard from the Board's Legal Adviser, it was noted the licence holder had surrendered their licence, therefore the Board agreed that no further action be taken.

 

(iii)                    SANDBANKS BRASSERIE, 594 BROOK STREET

 

Having heard from the Licensing Standards Officer and the Board's Legal Adviser, it was noted that the annual fee had not been paid, and the premises was now closed, therefore the Board agreed to revoke the licence.

 

(iv)                   SLAWYANSKI, 236 BLACKNESS ROAD

(v)                    THE PARLOUR CAFE, 58 WESTPORT

 

Having heard from the Licensing Standards Officer and the Board's Legal Adviser, it was noted that the annual fee had now been paid.
