The Council has now published the application that it has made (to itself) for a premises license for the use of Monk Stray.
There are no restrictions on the duration of the license which would allow plays, films, live music (till midnight), recorded music, performance of dance and “anything similar” together with the supply of alcohol for on and off site sales (until 2300 hours)
The application can be read here
Residents have until 24th February to submit any objections.
The Council have so far failed to explain why the event could not have been accommodated on the Knavesmire.
Larger events, such as Royal Ascot at York and a visit by the Pope, have been accommodated there without major difficulties.
