Birmingham Licensing Justices - Minimum Ceiling Height

We act for a client who seeks a restaurant licence in respect of premises in the city of Birmingham. We understand that the application will be refused by the justices on the basis that the policy of the Birmingham Licensing Committee may be breached due to the lack of height of the ceiling of the restaurant. We also understand that ten Crown Court appeals have been heard on this specific subject, two of which have been successful. We would be interested to hear from solicitors instructed on those appeals, whether successful or otherwise.
