• CONDITION IMPOSED BY LICENSING PANEL  AT A HEARING ON 18 AUGUST 2010

   

    1.              A Noise Management Plan must be submitted to the Environmental Heath Unit 14 days before the event. This must cover all aspects of the day and in particular, steps to be taken to manage noise pollution. This must be received and agreed by the unit before the event commences. It should also include details of the sound system being used.

   

    2.              The license holder or representative will conduct regular assessments of the noise coming from the premises on every occasion the premises are used for regulated entertainment and shall take steps to reduce the level of noise where it is likely to cause a disturbance to local residents.

   

    3.              A written record shall be made of those assessments in a log book kept for that purpose which shall include the time and date of checks, the person making them and the results, including any remedial action. Four monitoring locations will be used and these are shown on the attached plan (Plan B).

   

    4.              The audience should not be allowed within three metres of any loud speaker. Where this is not practical and suitable evidence of justification is provided, the overall music sound levels can be modified so that people closer than three metres to the loud speakers are not exposed to an Event Leq of more than 107 dB(A) or peak sound pressure levels of 120 dB.

   

    5.              Over the duration of the event the equivalent continuous sound pressure level (Event Leq) in any part of the audience area should not exceed 107 dB(A). It should not exceed 60 dB(A) at any of the monitoring locations. Under no circumstances should the audience and loudspeaker separation distance be less than one metre.

   

    6.              The output of the sound systems should be suitable for the size of the event, and as a general rule it should be calculated on the basis of 1KW per 100 people in the audience expected.

   

    7.              A contact name and number should be provided to the Environmental Health Department prior to the event and it is recommended that there is a letter drop at the nearest noise sensitive properties before the event providing a contact name and number for complaints. These complaints should be logged.

   

    8.              The club house facilities should not be used for the Valentine Rock Event by festival goers.

   

    9.                            The licence is restricted to the Saturday of the Valentine Rock Event held in September each year and at no other day.

   

  10.              The premises licence holder must ensure that Black Pad and other designated Red Routes must be kept clear for emergency services use.

   

  11.              The premises licence holder must ensure that directions must be given in any publicity and on the day to long stay car parks in the area and the use of public transport.

   

   

• CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH OPERATING SCHEDULE

    6.              A reputable security company will be employed for the day.  They will be required to have a communications link with Terrence King and the site office at all times and they will be required to brief our volunteer marshalls as to what is required of them.

   

    7.              The wristband system means it will be easier to monitor youngsters who could be potential trouble makers.

   

    8.              People who are blatantly drunk will be refused entry to the site.
