Rottingdean Cricket Club is located to the north of Rottingdean village on the Falmer Road. We are four miles from BHCC"s Cumulative Impact Zone.
BHCC hold the freehold of the land with the cricket club holding a long lease on the pitch and clubhouse.
Rottingdean Cricket Club has had a members-only license for at least 30 years. During this time no-one can recall any complaints.
We would like to change this to a premsies licenses please.
We would like the premises license to cover our existing bar in the clubhouse as well as a temproary marquee that would be erected beside the clubhouse during occasional Family-friendly events that we need to hold to help raise much-needed funds for the club.
The temporary marquee would be open on 3 sides and would contain no electricity points.
No alcohol would be stored in this overnight and the offering would be basic - cans of lager, wine and soft drinks.
We are applying for a full license as we want our capacity for these events to be greater than the 499 TEB limit.
We are not proposing that the general bar opening hours inside the clubhouse during the footbal and cricket season will change. We are not going to be an alternative to a pub.
Our grounds are around 4000 sq meters (200m x 200m) and comprise a football pitch, cricket pitch, cricket nets, some containers for storage and additional changing - and a clubhouse which is 72ft x 20ft and is home to a kitchen, bar and open area for sitting, drinking and eating.
The grounds have homes to the south and west. To the west, they are 80m from the club house with trees and Falmer Road in between. To the South, the houses are about 150 meters from the clubhouse with trees and gardens in between.
We also want to be able to hire our pavilion on occasion. Maximum one per month. However, these will not include parties for 16th, 18th and 21st birthday parties. We do not let our own junior players have parties like this at the moment - and we operate a strict Challenge 25.
