Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
1. Noise from amplified and non-amplified music, singing and speech arising from regulated entertainment at the premises [between the hours of 23:00 and 07:00] shall not be audible inside habitable rooms of noise sensitive properties in the vicinity.
Informative Note:
Licensees are advised to carry out a simple “sound check” outside the nearest noise sensitive property by listening to the music etc. coming from regulated entertainment. If the music etc. is clearly audible then it is likely that this condition is being breached. Steps should then be taken to reduce the volume of the noise.
For the purpose of providing an objective standard to assess whether this condition is being complied with or not, noise shall be considered not to be audible if:
) the measurement of sound when music etc is on (expressed as LAeq, 1min) does not exceed the measurement of sound (expressed as LA90, 5min) when the music is off, and
) the measurement of sound in each 1/3rd octave band between 40Hz and 160 Hz when music is on (expressed as L10, 1min) does not exceed the measurement of sound in the same 1/3rd octave bands between 40Hz and 160Hz when the music is off (expressed as L90, 5min)
All measurements to be taken within the habitable room normally occupied at the time in question, using a Type 1 integrating-averaging sound level meter compliant with BS EN 60804, with either windows open for normal ventilation or closed, whichever situation causes greater noise disturbance.
2. All external doors and windows to the room/s where regulated entertainment is being provided shall remain closed during the course of the entertainment, other than for normal access and egress.
3. No speaker used to relay amplified music, singing and speech provided as part of the regulated entertainment shall be positioned outside the building structure of the premises, nor shall any speaker be positioned internally such that the sound is directed through external doors, windows or other openings in the structure.
4. All external areas of the premises (beer gardens, patios etc) must not be used by customers between the hours of 22:00 and 10:00.
Advisory Note:
You can help facilitate patrons leaving in a quiet manner through promoting a 'calm down' period at the end of the night. Finish any 'lively' entertainment (disco, live music, etc) about 30 minutes before the bar closes and play softer background music. Continue to sell water, soft drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages and allow customers to leave naturally.
5. The Fire Alarm and Emergency Lighting Systems are to be tested weekly and a written record of these tests is to be kept. Any faults identified and the relevant action taken to rectify them are to be noted in the record.
6. All exit routes must be kept clear and remain free from obstruction at all times.
7. The Designated Premises Supervisor shall continue to remain a member of the Local (Pontefract) Pubwatch Scheme for as long as such scheme remains in existence.
8. Live music and recorded music will cease with the end of permitted hours for the sale/supply of alcohol.
9. Prominent, clear notices shall be displayed at all exits requesting customers and staff to respect the needs of local residents and leave the premises and area quietly.
10. All windows will be kept closed after 21.00 hours.
11. Any person on the premises who appears to be under 18 years of age attempting to purchase alcohol from the establishment or operate the AWP machines shall be challenged to produce photographic evidence to ascertain their proof of age.
12. Children (as defined in the Licensing Act 2003) shall not be allowed on the premises unless accompanied by an adult at all times.
13. Children shall not be allowed to enter the 'Public Bar' or remain on the premises after 21.30 hours.
