Stephen Woods, the head of the licensing
team at M&G, has secured the Premises Licence for one of the biggest
entertainment venues to open in Oxford. The 1930’s Regal Cinema has lain
empty for three years. M&G were instructed by SolarView to secure a mixed
use Premises Licence for a late night live music and recorded music venue, as
well as use for a cinema, conference facilities and local amenity use.
The application was initially rejected by
the Licensing Sub-Committee at Oxford City Council on 26 September 2006.
This decision was overturned on Appeal on
19 March 2007 after a two day hearing at Oxford Magistrates’ Court. Despite
vigorous opposition to the granting of a Premises Licence from both the
police and local residents the Magistrates were satisfied that the
application did meet the objectives of the Licensing Act 2003 and a licence
was granted.
