To consider an application to vary the Designated Premises Supervisor of the Laburnum House Hotel, 4 Sloway Lane, West Huntspill, TA9 3RJ following objections having been received from the Police.

Mr Cox confirmed that he had indeed withdrawn his application.

The Chair then explained that, with the application withdrawn, there was now no need for the relevant submissions of the parties to be considered.
