YPI entertainments licence

John Fareham and John Abbott report that Hull City Council’s Licensing Sub-Committee have approved a much-amended version of the application for an entertainment licence for the former YPI site on Chanterlands Avenue North. Much as we would have liked John Abbott to be present at both the original meeting, adjourned in mid-March so that the applicant could gather evidence about noise levels, and the resumed meeting - those that arranged them did not consult our diaries - it remains the case that, by comparison with the application as submitted, there will be no outdoor boxing and wrestling – or indeed any licensable outdoor activity. The applicant also agreed that sporting activities would be kept in the main hall and that all other licensable activities would be confined to the club bar. On the applicant promising to submit revised plans along those lines the Sub-Committee gave him the green light.
