Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 – Application for Personal Licence There was a report to the Board confirming that the Chief Constable had objected to an application for a personal licence case number 1 of 2019. The Board was obliged to hold a hearing to consider and determine the personal licence application. The applicant was present to represent himself and was accompanied. The Chief Constable’s representative was present. The Board heard from the parties and the parties responded to questions. After consideration of all the evidence Cllr Edwards proposed granting the licence. The motion was seconded by Cllr Allan. Cllr Coy, seconded by Cllr Laing, proposed an amendment that in considering a ground for refusal existed in that the applicant was not a fit and proper person to be a personal licence holder having regard to the licensing objectives, the licence must be refused. The vote was split with three votes each for the motion and the amendment. The deciding vote rested with the Convenor, who voted for the amendment. So the finding of the Board was that a ground for refusal existed and therefore the Board was obliged to refuse the application. Page 7 Page 8 Item 3.
