Members were requested to determine whether or not to grant the application for a premises licence in respect of 5 Cavendish Street, Ulverston having taken into account the 5 relevant representations submitted by interested parties.

The Licensing Specialist stated the background and proposals to the Application, submitted on 27 April 2022, for the grant of a Premises Licence for 5 Cavendish Street, Ulverston submitted by Inno Hospitality Collective Limited.
