Decision details

The Licensing Sub-Committee of Somerset Council was due to consider an application for a variation to an existing premises licence from Mr Abdullah Ulgut for The Town Hotel, Bridgwater, Somerset (formerly known as the Mansion House) following representations from Avon and Somerset Police and members of Bridgwater Town Council.

As a result of discussions between the Police and the applicant, the Sub-committee was advised that an agreed position has been reached and that consequently the Police had withdrawn their representation. The members of the Town Council have also indicated that because of this agreement they also no longer wished to make representations on this application.

Therefore, the Sub-Committee being satisfied that the proposal duly promoted the licensing objectives, agreed that the licence for the Town Hotel (formerly known as the Mansion House) be varied in accordance with the following terms of agreement: 

1.    The current plans of the premises shall be replaced by those shown at the hearing and to be provided by the Applicant.

2.    The current DPS Evgeni Zlatev shall be removed from the licence as requested by the Applicant.

3.    The existing terms and conditions of the licence shall remain, subject to the addition of the following conditions:

·         Whilst any of the premises are being used for temporary/emergency accommodation from the local government, social housing or such body, there will be no sale or supply of alcohol permitted under the licence

·         Alcohol will not be sold during Bridgwater Carnival whilst the premises are being used for social or temporary housing as above
