William Heaton 128 Glasgow Road Tote Bookmakers Ltd Kilmarnock Tote House 74 Upper Richmond Road London
Ms. Ferrie appeared on behalf of the applicant and advised the Board that Tote Bookmakers previously held a Betting Office Licence for these premises, until 1979. Due to the fact that additional housing had been built near the premises it is felt that there is now sufficient demand to re-open as a Betting Office. She explained that a Planning Application had been submitted and could not see any problems in this respect.
The Chairman moved that the licence be granted, subject to a Planning Certificate being obtained. The Board agreed. ------

Hotel
Anne Dickson Fenwick Hotel Per Brunton Miller Ayr Road Solicitors Fenwick Herbert House 22 Herbert Street Glasgow

PROVISIONAL GRANT OF LICENCE
Public House
Bass Taverns Ltd 50 Bank Street Per Brunton Miller Kilmarnock Solicitors Herbert House 22 Herbert Street Glasgow
The Clerk advised that twenty nine letters of objection had been received in respect of this application.
Mr. MacIver appeared on behalf of the applicant and confirmed that all but one of the letters had been properly served.
The twenty eight competent letters of objection were circulated (two of these were duplicates).
The Clerk indicated that the Hearing Procedure would be following and that the Board would have regard to the plan of Kilmarnock showing licensed premises, produced and exhibited at the Board meeting.
The Clerk advised that comments had been received from Strathclyde Fire Brigade that the means of escape from the first floor plant room does not comply with the Technical Standards for compliance with the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990.
Mr. MacIver stated that all Fire Regulations and Building standards will be complied with. He explained that it is intended to open the premises at 50 Bank Street, presently Wisharts furniture shop, as O’Neils Authentic Irish Bar with the emphasis on a warm, friendly atmosphere. He stated that a Brand Manual is available should the Board wish to view it, and he outlined the facilities to be provided.
In respect of over provision, Mr. McIver advised that this would not be a “mega pub” as feared by locals, but a mid sized development of about a three hundred patrons maximum. He stated that only a portion of the premises would be used as a public house and that time would be spent on the training of staff. He proceded to outline the facilities to be provided and reserved the right to return on the question of over provision.
Mr. Lorimer Headley spoke first on behalf of the objectors and stated that he thinks there is over provision in Kilmarnock town centre since the volume of sales has dropped in the last few years and in fact are continuing to drop. In respect of the size of the development, Mr. Headley suggested that a medium sized development to a company such as Bass Taverns, would be considered a large development to another licensee. He stressed that most of the licensed premises in the Kilmarnock area are run by local people, with the closest only some forty to forty five yards from the proposed development.
Mr. Headley stated that approximately thirty jobs may be created by the development but that this would be at a cost of other premises closing and moved that the licence be refused.
Mr. David Little, Chairman of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, spoke on behalf of the objectors. He stated that at present the licensed trade is stagnant and is taking a downturn and feared that if this licence is granted then other premises would close.
Mr. Eric Brown, licensee of the Goldberry, Public House, spoke on behalf of the objectors and advised that he had prepared plans showing the proposed development and the licensed premises in the locality, the locality in his view being 550 yards either side of the proposed development. With Mr. MacIver’s agreement the plans were circulated.
Referring to the plan Mr. Brown stated that there are fifty six licensed premises, inclusing clubs, in the locality, forty six of these being on-sales, and this, he feels, constitutes provision. Mr. Brown advised that he presently has plans to re- develop the whole of the Goldberry, which he fears would be affected if this licence is granted.
Councillor Brailsford enquired as to whether the applicant had considered any other premises for the development. Mr. MacIver replied that other premises were looked at but were not appropriate for this type of development.
Councillor Smith asked the Clerk to the Board if Registered Clubs should be taken into account when considering over provision. The Clerk replied that Registered Clubs cannot be taken into account and that it was for the Board to decide on the appropriate locality when considering over provision.
Councillor Macrae asked for clarification of the size of the development. Mr. MacIver stated that plans, with sizes, had been submitted with the application. The plans were circulated. Mr. MacIver continued that when O’Neils opened in Paisley, a small project, which is approximately 3,300 square feet, the local trade expressed fears, however trade had increased as a result of the spin off.
Both parties were asked to sum up.
Mr. Brown stated that, as President of the Strathclyde Licensed Trade Association, he knew that since O’Neils in Paisley had opened trade was suffering.
Mr. MacIver submitted that of the four grounds of objection, over provision is the principal objection and stated that Registered Clubs, Entertainment Licences and Off-Sales should not be taken into account when considering the question of over provision.
Mr. MacIver concluded that with the proposal of £800,000-00 being spent on the development, Kilmarnock was being offered a high quality premises with approximately thirty jobs being created locally. He could however understand the fears of locals for their livelihood but stressed that the Paisley development shows that there is sufficient trade for all.
The Board adjourned to consider the application.
Upon returning after fifteen minutes, the Chairman moved to refuse the licence on the grounds of over provision. The Board agreed unanimously.
Mr. McIver asked that a Section 14 Direction be granted, which was refused. He asked for a Statement of Reasons and the Clerk undertook to forward this to him.
