Advocate: Pierre Landick, Ogiers, presented the application

Proposer: Clair Sequeira

Seconder: Gayner Bryant

Advocate Landick explained that the company had operated a sixth cat licence from their premises at Liberty Wharf for approximately 5 years, and now wished to switch that operation from Liberty Wharf to Queen Street. It was planned to close the Liberty Wharf premises on 31 October and open the new Queen Street premises on 6 November, with goods containing no alcohol being sold until their application for a sixth cat licence had been heard at an extraordinary sitting of the Licensing Bench on 10 November. Geraint Jennings asked if the applicants could clarify if they would be running the same operation or would they be looking at extending the range of alcoholic goods they sold.

The applicants confirmed that there would be no change to the range of goods they sold which were predominantly liqueur chocolates and gift basket/sets.

On being put to the vote, the application was unanimously approved.

Name Category Business Address The Channel Island Co-op 6th King Street Locale 64 King Street

Christopher Lintell Company Secretary presented the application.

Proposer: Susan Lintell

Seconder: Karen Walters

Mr Lintell explained that the Co-op had received a Planning permit to develop their premises at Charing Cross and that building work was due to commence in January 2016, and that the sixth Cat licence they currently held on those premises would expire on 24 December 2015. It was estimated that it would take approximately 2 years to re-develop the premises and during that time, the Co-op wished to offer the same facilities to shoppers from other premises in the area, hence their application to transfer their sixth cat licence to the premise at 64 King Street. It was envisaged that the store would offer groceries and alcohol on the same profile as the existing store, with the alcohol being ancillary to the groceries. Mr Lintell confirm that the Co-op operated a rigorous training programme for its staff and that as with their other stores Colin McLeod, the CEO would be registered as the Manager for these premises.

Peter Pearce said that he had met a member of the public who was concerned with the amount of lorry movements daily to the current store and was concerned that a smaller store may require more deliveries.

Mr Lintell confirmed that with a smaller store with less capacity it was hoped that there would be less deliveries required.

Geraint Jennings wanted to know when the 2 year re-development was complete whether the applicant would retain the premises being applied for, which of course would create an additional 6th cat premises in the area, also what would the opening hours be, would they be same as currently operated at Charing Cross.

Mr Lintell said that at this stage the answer is no, as the applicant was only looking to keep a presence in the area so that regulars had the same opportunity to shop in the same area as at present. In relation to opening hours, the plan was to operate exactly the same hours as the Charing Cross store.

On being put to the vote, the application was unanimously approved.

The Chairman advised the Assembly that anyone who had spoken in relation to the Licensing matters was entitled to address the Licensing Bench at its Extraordinary Sitting on Tuesday 10 November 2015 at 2:00pm Date of next Parish Assembly Monday 16 November 2015 at 7.00pm.
