OBJECTION TO BRIDGE GRILL

 Dear All,   Sorry unable to attend tomorrows committee meeting but sent the following objection to the application.  Regards Armand

APPLICATION FOR GRANT OF PREMISES LICENCE - BRIDGE GRILL, 4 FORE STREET, EAST LOOE, PL13 1HH

This application is for a premises that is at the head of Fore Street, East Looe by the bridge and the gateway to the town past which all residents and visitors will pass to enter the town and as such is a key building for the town.   I wish the committee to consider the following before making a decision,

The application requests the following:  LATE NIGHT REFRESHMENT (Indoors) FROM TO

Sunday to Thursday 23:00 hours 01:00 hours

Friday to Saturday 23:00 hours 02:45 hours

SUPPLY OF ALCOHOL (consumption on the premises) FROM TO

Every Day 12:00 hours 23:00 hours

HOURS PREMISES OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FROM TO

Sunday to Thursday 12:00 hours 23:00 hours

Friday to Saturday 12:00 hours 02:45 hours

Members will note from the plan that alcohol will only be supplied in the restaurant

area, and not from the takeaway. Alcohol is supplied for consumption on the

premises only and sales will cease at 23:00 hours each day.

As members will know that Looe is the major tourist resort for South East Cornwall and as such drives much of the local areas economy bringing in many thousands of visitors each year.   It is a family resort and prides itself on providing good quality accommodation in camp site which surround the town and has a number of excellent Hotels and B and B’s within the town many of which are located in and around the premises for which this application is being sought.  The town as I have said is for families and as such does not have a busy late night economy with only one very small night club and is certainly not a town such as Newquay.   Within feet of this site are B and B’s, shops, residential, rented and holiday accommodation with five hotels within 100 yards, opening to the extended hours as requested with have a very negative impact on all of these businesses.   How can I be sure that this will happen because this premises has previously been used as a Kebab House and this was the affect it had on those businesses.   You can see from the responses that the community has put into the committee for consideration that the community object to this because of previous experience.  The local police were often involved in incidents in the area of this premises and recently the Petrol Station was stopped selling alcohol late at night and was not allowed a extension for a similar application.   Because of the previous incidents the town has tried to reduce the anti social behaviour late at night and last year a campaign was started to stop this.    The committee will I believe hear from at least 12 local residents or businesses of the effects on the town and I add my voice to this objection.

Since the current person has taken over there has been a number of issues reported to the town council, a awning was fitted without planning permission.  A vast amount of signage was put in the windows and around the building without permission.  Flashing lights have been fitted to the building again without permission.    This does not reflect well on a owner of a building in a conservation area and as I have said a key building of the town.

I know that I am supported by my community in asking the committee to object to this application in full

Looe East and St Martins

The Weed Ripper

Last week the Council and Cory had a demonstration of a Weed Ripper which cleans weeds from sets like in the back streets and the side of the roads.   I must say the demonstration in the back streets was very impressive and the machine made light work of the moss and weeds.   It is hoped that the council will purchase this machine and clean up the streets around Looe.   Fingers crossed.  Regards Armand

Will add picture later
