A pub which wishes to extend use of a car park area for an outside faces opposition from neighbours. A Bury Council licensing hearing is to be heard this week to decide on the request by The Major Hotel, Bolton Street, Ramsbottom.
The pub’s licensee has applied for a variation to extend its current premises licence to cover the existing car park for consumption of alcohol and allow a temporary structure there to be used as a bar. Different hours are proposed for activities both inside and outside the premises including permission to serve indoors until 12.30am and outdoors until 9pm.
The application also requests permission to allow live music indoors on Saturdays until 11pm. A representation from Bury’s environmental health service has been made against the application for the sale of alcohol in the outside area between noon and 9pm.
