Licence conditions (11)

General - all 4 licensing objectives:
Having been a licensee for the past 32 years my staff and I would take every steps to ensure that licensing objectives are adhered to.
The prevention of crime and disorder:
It is essential that clients are made aware that over indulgence of alcohol will not be allowed. That anti social behaviour would not be accepted.
Public safety:
Reasons stated [under 'the prevention of crime and disorder].
A general awareness by staff and customers.
The prevention of public nuisance:
Because the premises are in a rural area I have only applied for hours that are traditional for a public house. So following the old hours the premises are not a nuisance to my neighbours.
The protection of children from harm:
My premises have a facility for a children's area which is smoke free and can be under supervision of parents.

Licensed hours are the most a premises may open or trade under its licence, not its actual opening times.
