3. *
  
  The Layout Plan which does not result in any inconsistency with the Operating Plan (except the possible reduction in the capacity of the premises). (See Note below)
  
  The Operating Plan to (i) restrict the terms; and/or (ii) increase the minimum age; and/or (iii) reduce the times; and/or (iv) restrict the access; of which children and young persons are allowed entry to the premises
  
  The name of the premises as disclosed in the Premises Licence
  
  The licensed hours in respect of a temporary or permanent reduction in the hours which does not result in the premises opening any earlier or closing any later than stated in the Premises Licence and Operating Plan
  
  The Operating Plan resulting in the cessation of the provision of live or recorded music at a decibel level exceeding 85 decibels
  
  The Operating Plan to provide that, when the premises are fully occupied, more customers are likely to be seated than standing
  
  The Operating Plan to reduce the capacity of the premises without altering the layout of the premises
  
  The information contained in the licence relating to the Premises Manager (including the substitution of a new Premises Manager)
4. Note: Section 29(6)(a) of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 intimates that a variation to the Layout Plan of a Premises qualifies as a minor variation only ’if the variation does not result in any inconsistency with the operating plan’. Regulation 2(d) of the Licensing (Minor Variations) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 states that ‘any reduction in the capacity of the premises whether resulting from a variation to the layout plan or otherwise’ is to be considered a minor variation.
  
  Since the Operating Plan contained within the Premises Licence reflects the relevant ‘on sales’ and/or ‘off sales’ capacity figures, a variation to the layout of the premises will only be considered ‘minor’ if the changes reduce the capacity figures or keep the figures the same.
