Reasons for the decision

The application for the premises licence has been approved, with the above additional conditions, as the Licensing sub-committee was satisfied that the licensing objectives would not be undermined.

The sub-committee took into consideration that the Metropolitan Police had withdrawn their representation in advance of the hearing, and following the Applicant agreeing to the proposed conditions.

The sub-committee also took into consideration that the Environmental Protection Team and Environmental Enforcement had withdrawn their representation in advance of the hearing, and following the Applicant agreeing to additional conditions.

After hearing from the Applicant, and considering the representations of the Other Persons the sub-committee were satisfied that the conditions that the Applicant agreed to would promote the licensing objectives.

The sub-committee took into consideration that the relatively early hours applied for were within Core hours under the Council’s Policy LP3, and the Applicant’s understanding of the risk of nuisance caused by the Cumulative Impact of a licensed premises in the Shoreditch area.

Having taken all of the above factors into consideration the Licensing sub-committee were satisfied, when granting the premises licence, that the licensing objectives would be promoted, particularly in relation to the prevention of crime and disorder and prevention of public nuisance.
