6. Thame SF Connect, 50 Park Street

After some discussion it was agreed to submit the following response to the Variation to the Premises Licence Application for premises at Thame SF Connect:

a) Object to the proposed increase in hours to allow 24 hour Alcohol Off Sales. The premises are located in the middle of a residential area, it is considered unnecessary and inappropriate to sell alcohol between midnight and 6am given the location; the extended licencing hours will result in unneighourly disturbance and public nuisance.

b) Clause 4 of existing Annex 2 related to the display of signage must be retained.

7. Reports from Town Council Representatives

a) Transport Representative – Cllr Stiles stated no further meetings had taken place and there was nothing to report.

8. For Information

The items for information were noted.

Members raised concern regarding the Oxfordshire Minerals & Waste Local Plan – Part 2 Site Allocations: Issues and Options consultation which was noted at the last meeting on 4 September 2018.

In particular Site Number 279; Land to the rear of Ford dealership, Rycote Lane which is listed as a potential waste site for Inert (CDE) Waste Recycling including Recycled Aggregates. It was felt given the known activity and disturbance related to the site at Moorend Lane this potential site, if chosen would give rise to similar problems. The 70,000 tonne capacity represented a very large amount for the size of the site.

It was agreed that Officers would formulate and submit a response to the consultation which closes on 3 October 2018.

The meeting concluded at 7.03pm

Signed ……………………..
Chairman, 16 October 2018
