ANNEXE 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE
Prevention of Crime and Disorder
The business is concerned with Off sales only therefore disorderly behaviour is not anticipated as being a risk. However measures have been put in place to prevent theft and deter crime at the premises.
The premises will have three CCTV cameras:
One covering the main door/collection area
One in the main brewing area which will also cover the door to the upstairs
One facing the rear door that cannot be accessed by the public
The building is also secured - it has a double lock on the front door and the rear door is a security door that can only be unlocked from inside. The buildings main door goes on to Little Bicton Place - this door has two locks. There is also a gate onto the street that is locked by key and has two bolts inside (top and bottom) - this gate leads to a little court yard secured by a security door at the rear which can only be locked from the inside.
Regarding online sales, customers must provide their full address and postcode when placing an order, and we will only deliver to a residential or business address (not to a public place).
We are using a specialist delivery service (APC) for delivery of alcohol who run a challenge 25 policy, we will also use this policy at the premises for any sales and collections.
Public Safety
The public will only have access to the front door and collections area (which is covered by CCTV). This area will be kept clear.
A bell will be on the front door for collections/deliveries to gain my attention. Although people will be able to purchase and collect at the premises, the number of people expected to attend the premises is low (as the business is focused on selling at events, online and using deliveries) - any that do attend will only be permitted in the front door and collection area.
The building itself has a smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.
Prevention of Public Nuisance
The number of customers attending the premises is anticipated to be low, as the business will operate using a delivery service, so residents should not be affected by an increase in people in the area visiting the premises.
The nature of the business being off sales and not a tap room, so customers will not gather to stay and drink and there will be no loud talking and no loud music, meaning local residents will be undisturbed.
If anyone is causing a nuisance or displaying anti-social behaviour, I will ask them to leave and if necessary inform the police.
I will not sell to anyone already intoxicated, and if they have pre-ordered and are collecting in an intoxicated state, I will ask them to return at another time.
Deliveries to the premises - due to the size of the nano brewery deliveries of malt and cleaning chemicals will only be needed once every couple of months at most and will be done quickly by delivery drivers.
Protection of Children from Harm
The business will operate a strict Challenge 25 policy. We will use a specialist delivery service for alcohol (APC) who run a challenge 25 system and delivery drivers will ask for ID if anyone they deliver to appears to be under the age of 25.
Online sales - the customer has to make a declaration they are over the age of 18.
The following statements will be on our website in the checkout section :
“Customers are reminded that it is a criminal offence for a person under 18 to purchase or attempt to purchase alcohol and that it is also an offence to purchase alcohol on behalf of a person under the age of 18”.
“We operate a strict challenge 25 policy, and delivery drivers will ask to see ID of anyone they believe appears to be under the age of 25, and if when asked a recipient cannot provide ID proving they are at least 18 years of age, no alcohol will be handed over.
Delivery will also be refused if the driver believes that the alcohol was purchased on behalf of another person who is under the age of 18.”
