That under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public were excluded for the meeting during consideration at minute number 6 on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act as the Panel was satisfied that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

Application for the grant of a premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 The decision
The Sub-Committee considered all written and oral representations from all parties and taking into account all of the above, unanimously decided that it was appropriate and proportionate, having considered all of the representations, all the evidence presented to it, whilst also taking into account the Licensing Act 2003, the Secretary of State Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003, North Yorkshire Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, and the promotion of the licensing objectives to reject the application. The Panel therefore decided not to authorise the retail sale of alcohol.
