An application had been appended for a premises licence for Portmeirion Limited.
Cyngor Gwynedd’s council’s central licensing sub-committee granted the permission on Friday March 20.
The location concerns the Drive Field and Car Park at Castell Deudraeth, Portmeirion, at Minffordd near Penrhyndeudraeth.
The application was to allow staging up to four open air events annually between May and September.
It had been proposed to hold licensable events, including playing recorded and live music and to sell alcohol consumed on the premises.
The applicant would be allowed to sell alcohol on the premises, and to play live and recorded music between 6pm – 11pm, on Fridays and Saturdays, during the events.
Among the measures recommended by the applicant within the operating schedule, was that the licences would ensure that all staff would receive training, over the sale of alcohol, especially in terms of dealing with drunkenness and under-aged drinking.
No alcohol would be supplied to be drunk off the premises nor supplied to attendees unless they had a valid ticket. Bags and property would also be searched before any access was given to the site.
The licensee had also proposed installing a comprehensive CCTV System, operated and maintained on the site. The CCTV system would mean cameras installed at entrance gates and exits.
Cameras observing floor areas would have “a wide angle to give an overview
of the site” and able to provide a linked record of the date, time and location of any image. There would also be a monitor to review recorded images.
Children would also not have access unless in the company of a responsible adult.
The applicant said they would undertake to “comply with requirements” of the individual organisations represented on the Event Safety Advisory Group, and submit and implement the contents of documents, such as an Event Management Plan.
The application had received no objections from the police, planners, fire service, the foodteam; public protection or public.
However, “observations” were raised by the pollution service; public protection.
The licensing documents had noted there is “no objection to the proposal in principle” but it was felt there was “potential for amplified music noise from the concerts to cause a public nuisance” at nearby residential property.
To prevent public nuisance, conditions were recommended as part of the permission.
The applicant agreed to accept noise control conditions, within the operating schedule, should the application be approved.
The number of events would be limited to four over any 12-month period.
The committee recommended, in accordance with legislation, to approve the application in line with the agreement reached with the applicant to add noise control measures to the licence.
