A licensing applicant previously deemed “not upto it” has been given permission to open an off licence in Liverpool city centre.
In March, members of Liverpool Council ’s licensing and gambling sub-committee told Adam Sutton he had “not given the serious thought it deserves” when applying to open Baltic Bevies on Jamaica Street until 4am. Mr Sutton’s fresh application to open a business received assent from the committee this morning after a revised plan was put forward.
Mr Sutton’s new venture sought to open an off licence that would open from 8am to midnight Monday to Thursday and until 2am Friday and Saturday. Licensing agent Karl Barry told the committee that another off licence nearby operated identical hours and despite concerns being raised about anti-social behaviour, his client had not received any evidence of any occurrences.
