The owner of a new kebab house who was said to have spent more than £100,000 kitting it out has been granted a licence in Swansea's Wind Street, despite strong objections from fast food operators nearby. Flame Kebab House replaces what used to be Tino's restaurant. It will be open from 4pm to 5am seven days a week, with the new premises licence covering the 11pm to 5am period.
Its owner was represented at a council sub-licensing committee hearing by solicitor William Parry. Asbri Planning director Barrie Davies represented Big Daddy's Pizza and Kebab, Chick O Land, The Dog House, Swansea Kebabs and Pizza Emporium, which all trade on the same street and opposed the application.
A council licensing officer told the meeting that an assessment of a long-standing cumulative impact policy for Wind Street and surrounding streets, which experience late night anti-social behaviour, had not been carried out in the required time and that therefore no regard should be paid to it by the sub-committee.
