The New Oxford

The purpose of this Application is as follows:

1. To extend by one hour daily (from midnight to 01:00) the existing authorisations for regulated recorded and live music (indoors only), so that permissions run from 12:00 midday to 01:00am daily.
2. To authorise the non-standard / seasonal times for the currently licensed activities and opening hours as follows:
   
   1. From the end of permitted hours on New Year’s Eve to the start of permitted hours on New Year’s Day (for all licensed activities and opening times)
   2. An additional hour on the day British Summer Time begins to disapply its effect (for alcohol sales only and opening times).
      For the avoidance of doubt, this application does not seek to vary the authorised standard times for alcohol sales or opening / closing times. However, these times are completed as part of the application to protect against inadvertent delicensing where the addition of the non-standard / seasonal times is sought.
3. To replace in its entirety the existing non-mandatory conditions on the premises licence with the revised operating schedule accompanying this application. The revised operating schedule updates the non-mandatory conditions to reflect and support the existing and proposed operation of the premises, including the removal of condition 5 in order to avoid conflicting with separate existing and future permissions, namely a separate tables and chairs licence granted by Salford City Council under the Highways Act 1980 s115E.
4. To vary the authorised layout of the premises in accordance with the plan lodged with this application, summarised as follows:
   
   1. Conversion of kitchen into customer snug area
   2. Reconfiguration of the central bar area
   3. Fixed seating around walls
5. Under the section on the existing premises licence titled “Licensable activities authorised by the licence:” remove the words “Performance of live music outdoors”. The premises does not have an external space within its demise to be licensed in such a way.
6. To update the registered address of the Premises Licence Holder and the address of the Designated Premises Supervisor

An additional hour on the day British Summer Time begins to disapply its effect.

From the end of permitted hours on New Year’s Eve to the start of permitted hours on New Year’s Day

Dispersal policy

The purpose of this Dispersal Policy is to ensure, so far as it is possible, that minimum disturbance or nuisance is caused to our neighbours and to ensure that the operation of the premises makes the minimum impact upon the neighbourhood in relation to potential nuisance and anti-social behaviour.

This will be achieved by exercising pro-active measures towards and at the end of the evening. 

By ensuring that this Dispersal Policy document is brought to the attention of Management and Staff we will seek to encourage the efficient, controlled and safe dispersal of our patrons during our closing period.

1. At the end of the evening management and staff members will assist with the orderly and gradual dispersal of patrons.
2. Staff members will advise patrons to leave the premises quickly and quietly out of respect for our neighbours. 
3. Notices will be displayed requesting our customers to leave quietly and in an orderly manner out of consideration to neighbours and their attention will be drawn to these notices by members of staff.
4. We will actively discourage our customers from assembling outside the premises at the end of the evening.

1. The Challenge 25 scheme must be operated to ensure that any person who appears to be under the age of 25 shall provide documented proof that he/she is over 18 years of age. Proof of age shall only comprise a passport, photo card driving licence, an EU/EEA national ID card or similar document, an HM Forces warrant card, a card bearing the PASS hologram, or any electronic or biometric age verification technology approved by the licensing authority. 
2. The premises shall display prominent signage indicating that the Challenge 25 scheme is in operation. 
3. The premises shall display prominent signage indicating that it is an offence to buy or attempt to buy alcohol for a person who is under 18 and for a person under the age of 18 to buy or attempt to buy alcohol.
4. Staff training will include the Challenge 25 Policy and its operation. In particular, staff shall be trained to take such action as is necessary to prevent the sale of alcohol to persons over the age of 18 where those customers are engaged in the distribution of alcohol to persons under the age of 18. The training must be given to a new member of staff before they commence employment and all staff must receive refresher training every 12 months.
