A representative of the Service Director (Place Management) submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing an application from Karen Dyson (Environment Team Manager) on behalf of The Head of Environmental Health & Trading Standards at Stockport Council being a responsible authority under the Licensing Act 2003 exercising its statutory function to prevent public nuisance for a review of the Premises Licence at The Moor Suite, Heaton Moor.

A representative of The Head of Environmental Health and Trading Standards and persons making relevant representations in addition to the Licence Holder attended the meeting and answered Councillors’ questions in relation to the application.

The Sub-Committee heard submissions from the representative of the Head of Environmental Health and Trading Standards that that there had been numerous incidents of noise nuisance associated with the premises dating back to 2007.  The Sub-Committee was further advised that at its meeting on 20 December 2011, following a previous review of the premises licence at the Moor Suite, a number of additional conditions were imposed on the premises licence to ameliorate the problems that had previously been experienced at the premises.  The representative of the Head of Environmental Health and Trading Standards stated that the premises had failed to comply fully with the conditions that had been imposed, namely that since the last review instances of noise nuisance had been observed by Environmental Health which would not be possible had the conditions relating to the use of the noise limiter been observed.
