Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
Embedded Restrictions: (None Applicable)
Operating Schedule Conditions:
1. 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.
2. Live bands shall only play in the first floor area with all their instruments and vocals going through the mixing desk, amplifier, compression device and two in-house speakers. The compression device shall remain at the level agreed with Environmental Health Services and shall be fitted with a tamperproof guard to prevent the level being altered. The equipment (mixing desk, amplifier, compression device and speakers shall be operated by a competent person, who shall ensure that all live entertainments are connected through them. There shall be no changes to the position of the two speakers without the prior written approval of the Licensing Authority.
3. Prior to any live entertainment commencing on the first floor, the doors and windows of the first floor elevations shall be covered with absorptive insulation boards (as per those used in the level setting exercise of the 27 January 2005). These shall remain in place while the entertainments are in progress.
4. The level of noise arising from amplified and non-amplified music, singing and speech emanating from the premises shall be controlled such that no disturbance is caused to the occupiers of any noise sensitive premises in the vicinity, including the residents of the Malt Shovel, Elm Terrace and Jackson's Court.
5. 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.
6. All external areas of the premises (beer gardens, patios etc) must not be used by customers between the hours of 23:00 and 10:00.
7. Speakers used to relay amplified music, singing and speech provided as part of the regulated entertainment shall not be positioned outside the premises, or internally, but directing out through external doors, windows and similar openings to the premises.
8. Promotional leaflets (flyers) shall not be distributed to the public outside the premises (whether immediately outside or some distance away) except with the prior written approval of the Licensing Authority, and under the terms of a litter control plan approved by the Responsible Authority for Public Nuisance (Wakefield MDC’s Environmental Protection Team).
9. 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)
10. 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.
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.
11. 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 actions taken to rectify them are to be noted in the record.
12. All exit routes must be kept clear and remain free from obstruction at all times.
13. No adult entertainment shall take place on the premises.
