Licence conditions (30)
  1. It is the responsibility of the licence holder to ensure that all staff, performers etc are aware of the controls, conditions and other requirements in place as part of the licence. Ultimate control rests with the licence holder.
  2. A noise management plan shall be submitted and agreed by the Licensing Authority prior to the event and shall deal with, amongst other things, noise control and the provision of named contacts and their telephone numbers in respect of the period of the event.
  3. The licensee shall appoint a suitably qualified and experienced noise control consultant, who shall liaise between all parties including the licensee/promoter, sound system supplier, sound engineer and the licensing authority on all matters relating to noise control.
  4. The licence holder or his representative shall conduct regular assessments of the noise coming from the premises on every occasion the premises are used for regulated entertainment and shall take steps to reduce the level of noise where it is likely to cause a disturbance to local residents. A written record shall be made of those assessments in a log book kept for that purpose and shall include the time and date of the checks, the person making them and the results including any remedial action.
  5. The amplification of most bands consist of amplifiers and speakers for the instruments and vocalists. The sound is mixed and balanced by a sound engineer at a sound desk prior to performance. The use of noise limiters/compressors are advised for the main stage as this sets a maximum volume for the music. It is also important to set maximum levels for the low frequency levels (bass) as these cause the most disturbance to local residents. Seek advice from the sound engineer you employ.
  6. One of the most frequently encountered problems is that an unnecessarily large amount of sound equipment is provided, which makes effective control very difficult. The output of the sound system(s) should be suitable for the size of the event, and as a general rule it should be calculated on the basis of 1KW per 100 people in the audience expected.
  7. Agreement will be required prior to the event taking place, in respect of the noise level at any noise sensitive premises. In particular, this will apply to the 63Hz and 125Hz octave frequency bands.
  8. There shall be placed a dispersal policy/warden scheme in place to assist dispersal of clientele from the area in a swift, efficient and safe manner. Notices will be displayed at all exits from the premises in a place where they can be seen and easily read by the public (or member and their guests) requiring customers to leave the premises and the area quietly.
  9. There shall be provided at the premises suitable and sufficient containers for the storage and disposal of waste foods and other refuse from the premises. Those containers shall be constructed and maintained so as to prevent access, except by staff.
  10. Where the premises provide food to the public for consumption on or off the premises they shall provide at or near the point of sale, sufficient receptacles to enable the disposal of waste food, food containers, wrapping etc.
  11. Where the premises provide food for consumption off the premises, the public area immediately surrounding the premises shall be cleared of waste food, food containers, wrapping etc at the end of trading on each day. Such refuse shall be placed in a container designed for storage and disposal of refuse and waste foods which shall be constructed and maintained so as to prevent access, except by staff.
  12. No explosive, firework or pyrotechnic shall be discharged in or from the premises which may cause a disturbance to the local area.
  13. No light from or on the premises and any other light under the control of the premises shall cause nuisance to any nearby premises.
  14. Noise measures - audience protection
  15. Over the duration of the event the equivalent sound pressure level (Event Log) in any part of the audience area should not exceed 107dB(A).
  16. The peak sound pressure level in the public area shall not exceed 120dB and shall normally be below 100dB for the duration of the event.
  17. The audience should not be allowed within 3m of any loud speaker. Where this is not practiced and suitable evidence of justification is provided, the overall music sound levels can be modified so that people closer than 3m to the loud speakers are not exposed to an Event Log of more than 107dB(A) or peak sound pressure levels of 120dB. Under no circumstances should the audience and loudspeaker separation distance be less than 1m.
  18. Temporary Electrics Temporary electrical wiring and distribution systems shall be inspected and certified by a competent person before they are put into use. A satisfactory and valid inspection report shall be available on site for inspection by an authorised officer of the authority.
  19. RCD Each socket outlet circuit or individual socket outlets used for public entertainment shall be protected by an integral residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA (0.03 amps). Every such circuit and residual current device shall be inspected and tested at intervals specified by a competent person. A satisfactory and valid inspection report shall be available on site for inspection by an authorised officer of the authority.
  20. Licensee Safety Inspection Before the premises are opened for the purposes authorised by the licence an inspection shall be carried out by the licence holder to ensure that the premises are safe for use.
  21. First Aid There shall be maintained on the premises at all times an adequate and appropriate supply of first aid equipment and materials for the use of customers.
  22. Temporary Structures Where the entertainment requires the provision of a temporary structure (e.g ring, certain stages, temporary seating, marquees) it shall be installed by a competent person. The Premises Licence Holder or the Club Premises Certificate Holder shall obtain a certificate from a competent person that the temporary structure has been correctly constructed and is fit for its intended use.
  23. Sanitary Accommodation Based on a 50/50 split (male/female), the minimum toilet provision for the event must be: Female 1 WC per 100 females Male 1 WC per 500 males, 1 urinal per 150 males Wash hand basins to be provided at a ratio of one per five toilets Adequate and suitable toilet facilities shall be provided for the use of disabled individuals. The conveniences shall be indicated by suitable signage and be efficiently lit at all times. The conveniences shall be kept, at all times, in good order and repair and properly and effectively cleansed and maintained throughout the duration of the event.
  24. When planning an event we will be notifying the Licensing Authority and Responsible Authorities well in advance of the event taking place with details of the type of event, site plan and proposed capacity. No tickets will go on general sale for any event until at least 14 days after the notifications have been sent out. We would be happy to agree to a notice period for events.
  25. For all major events we will be using SIA registered security and we will also be working closely with the police for traffic management and public safety.
  26. The site will be thoroughly checked prior to any event and a risk assessment will be available for inspection by the responsible authorities.

  30. We will have a lost children’s collection point clearly marked for events where children are to be admitted.
