Agenda item

The Chair welcomed Andrew Maltby (Director, Deeley Freed Estates) and Charles Whateley (Director, Penhalt Estates) to the meeting.

The Environmental Monitoring and Licensing Manager presented the report. He explained that Global Gaming Ventures Limited had applied for an extension to the Provisional Statement,  in relation to the use of premises for the operation of a small casino, which was issued on 9 August 2012 and was due to expire on 16 August 2013.  The extension was to be for 18 months or such other reasonable period as the Committee might grant. He invited the Committee to determine the application.

Having been satisfied that the public interest would be better served by not disclosing relevant information, the Committee RESOLVED in accordance with the provisions of section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, that the public be excluded from the meeting for this item of business because of the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act as amended..

Mr Maltby and Mr Whateley withdrew from the room as did the Environmental Monitoring and Licensing Manager. 

The Committee considered the application.

At the conclusion of the discussion, it was RESOLVED, as proposed by Councillor Curran and seconded by Councillor Bull, to extend the Provisional Statement for six months with effect from 16^th August 2013.

The Committee returned to open session, and the Chair announced the Committee’s decision.
