A birthday party for up to 400 people has been allowed by Manchester City Council despite the applicant previously holding an event with a false licence.
Empire House in Cheetham Hill will host the party next month for a 56-year-old where around 300 people are actually expected to show up. The event notice permits the party to take place with the sale of alcohol between 10pm and 4am.
Applicant Jayvon Morgan, who has a history of hosting different events in the area, was criticised by the Licensing Sub Committee for a previous event he held which went ahead without an approved licence from the council.
