Notice of application for the review of a premises licence

The Met, Argyle Road, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO21 3HU

Notice is given that a review of the premises licence for the above premises has been requested under Section 51 of the Licensing Act 2003.

The grounds for the review are stated as follows:

Prevention of public nuisance caused by Metunes Bar, Whitby.

In June 2022, the premises were rebranded as "Metunes," a Benidorm-themed karaoke, disco, and cabaret bar. Events began to be held regularly often three or more times a week in the main bar area, which is not designed to manage amplified noise. Events include karaoke, Benidorm bingo and regular live music and cabaret acts.

The bar area has old single-glazed windows, a glass conservatory, and lacks soundproofing. Doors are frequently left open, and patrons often gather outside, further amplifying noise and disruption to residents. This has caused significant disturbance, with noise levels affecting not only residents of the Metropole building but those across Argyle Road.

Environmental Health Officers from North Yorkshire Council have visited on multiple occasions and witnessed excessive noise. Over 200 recordings of disturbances from within residents' flats have been submitted via the council's official reporting system. More recent recordings have been submitted since this notice was created for inclusion with this request.

Anyone who wishes to make representations regarding this application must give notice in writing to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG or by email to licensing.sca@northyorks.gov.uk

Representations must be received by 14 July 2025 stating the grounds for the representation.

It is an offence knowingly or recklessly to make a false statement in connection with an application punishable on summary conviction by an unlimited fine.
