The key issues and details were read out to the Sub Committee.  In addition, letters / emails in support of the application had been received from a local resident, the owner of a nearby local business, Peter Fox MS, and County Councillor Malcolm Lane.

Monmouthshire County Council’s Principal Environmental Health Officer presented his objections to the application.

Local residents presented their objections to the application.

The applicants were then given the opportunity to address the Sub Committee, to put forward any relevant explanations. Following this, Members of the Sub Committee and the objectors put forward questions to the applicants and discussion ensued. The applicants were then given the opportunity to sum up.

Following questioning, the Licensing Sub Committee Members and the Monmouthshire County Council Solicitor left the meeting to deliberate and discuss the findings.

Upon re-commencement, the Chair advised that the Sub Committee had considered the issues and had resolved that, based on current evidence, it was the decision of the Committee to adjourn the meeting until a Noise Impact Assessment has been completed and followed up with a Noise Management Plan. The meeting would then be re-convened following receipt of this information.
