The Committee received and considered the application from McDonalds Restaurant, Ducklington Lane, Witney for a new premises licence under the Licencing Act 2003.

It was agreed that the following submission be made.

Witney Town Council has no objection to this application.

Members nevertheless wish to raise concerns regarding the potential for public nuisance arising from the proposed 24-hour operation. In particular, consideration should be given to the possible impacts of late-night activity, including noise, anti-social behaviour, and littering in the surrounding area.

The Council encourages the applicant and the Licensing Authority to ensure that appropriate measures are in place, and that the premises are subject to ongoing monitoring and review, to mitigate any such impacts should they arise.

These observations are made in relation to the licensing objectives set out in the Licensing Act 2003, specifically the prevention of public nuisance and the prevention of crime and disorder.

Resolved:

That, the Council makes the above submission to this application.
