Street cafés are different as anyone drinking at one is considered to be still within the control of the licence holder / DPS.Philip Tiplady (Leicester CAMRA)4Should be possible to open new premises which offer a quality drinking environment – ie, high quality ales and wines without loud recorded music and widescreen sports that attract those committed to causing disorderThis is possible. An application that does not attract representations will be granted automatically, even if in the cumulative impact area.Philip Tiplady (Leicester CAMRA)7Use of CCTV should not be imposed on well-managed public houses where an increase in cost may damage the viability of the premisesAdditional conditions will only be imposed following a hearing, which will only take place if representations are received. Any such conditions will be relevant to the representation.Philip Tiplady (Leicester CAMRA)7Support attempts to stop irresponsible drinks promotionsNoted.Philip Tiplady (Leicester CAMRA)7Don’t support plastic glasses being required in all premises in a particular.
