Otley takeaway owner £6000 out of pocket for ignoring licence conditions

Wednesday, 12 December 2018 07:00

By News @sunriseradiouk

The owner of a takeaway in Otley has faced costs of over £6000 for repeatedly breaching the establishment’s licence terms and conditions.

In March 2016, Best Kebab, on Westgate in Otley, was granted a licence for the sale of late night refreshment from Sunday to Thursday, 11pm to midnight, and Friday and Saturday, 11pm to 12.30am.

After a number of complaints were made alleging the establishment was selling hot food well past the times permitted by its licence, and following an investigation by Leeds City Council licensing enforcement officers, an application for the review of the premises’ licence was launched by the council.

It was also found, following an incident outside of the premises, that a suitable CCTV system – required in the licensing agreement – was not present.

Mr Sajid Khan, the licence holder of the premises, appeared at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on 21st November 2018 to appeal against the decision of the council to revoke Best Kebab’s licence, however the decision was upheld by the District Judge and Mr Khan was ordered to pay full costs to Leeds City Council, totalling £6349.30.
