It is a smallish pub so it probably would hold less than 200. I do not know if a safe capacity was imposed - or if it was - what it was set for.

Under S 177 the conditions other than those for for 'public safety' and/or 'the prevention of crime and disorder' will be suspended for umamplified live music.

I am not sure on what part of the main objectives of the Act these conditions were imposed. Protecting children from harm maybe? I suspect the Council will claim that it was for public safety or prevention of crime - but how they would detail and evidence this - would be interesting - especially as the police and fire service were consulted and were happy with the application as it stood.

But if these conditions could be suspended - it would look as if non-amplified music - that no one in a crowded pub will be able to hear - will be able to carry on in this pub until whenever - if it were ever likely to be staged...Still home early for the poor old darts players......
