2.  The Licensee shall ensure that any contract for general and recyclable waste disposal shall be appropriate in size to the amount of waste produced by the business.  The Licensee shall maintain an adequate supply of waste receptacles provided by his registered waste carrier (refuse sacks or commercial waste bins) in order to ensure all refuse emanating from the business is always presented for collection by his waste carrier and shall not use any plain black or unidentifiable refuse sacks or any other unidentifiable or unmarked waste receptacles.

The decision

The Licensing Sub-Committee in considering this decision from the information presented to it within the report and at the hearing today has determined that having regard to the promotion of all the licensing objectives:

 

the application has been approved in accordance with the Council’s licensing statement and the existing and proposed conditions set out in paragraphs 3.1 and 8.1 of the report, with the following amendments:

 

  • The hours for late night refreshment shall be Monday to Sunday 23.00 to 01.30 hours
  • Conditions 8 to 13 in paragraph 3.1 be deleted
  • Condition 12 in paragraph 8.1 be amended to insert after the words “persons who are” the following words “seated at a table and who are”
  • Condition 14 in paragraph 8.1 be amended so that there shall be a maximum of six smokers outside at any one time.

 

and the following additional conditions

  • No alcohol shall be consumed on the premises after 00.30 hours Monday to Saturday and 22.30 hours on Sundays.
  • All doors and windows shall be closed after midnight except to allow egress and ingress.
  • There shall be a maximum capacity of 150 persons at any one time.
  • The outside area shall be limited to 12 persons from 19.00 to 21.00 hours and closed from 21.00 hours.
  • The additional area licensed by this decision, as delineated on the amended plan to be provided, shall be closed after midnight. A copy of this plan is also to be retained and kept on the premises at all times.

   

Reasons for the decision

 

This variation application to increase the capacity of licensed premises located within the Dalston SPA has been approved given the additional restrictions placed on the capacity of the venue along with ensuring that the premises is to be used as a restaurant at all times. It was felt that with the additional conditions placed on the licence, this variation would not unduly add to the problems already being experienced in the area.

 

It was for this reason the application has been approved, with the above amendments and additional conditions, as the Licensing Sub-Committee was satisfied that the licensing objectives would not be undermined.
