Decision:

The decision

The 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 prevention of crime and disorder;
  • Public safety;
  • Prevention of public nuisance;
  • The protection of children from harm;

 

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

 

  • Conditions 17, 18 and 19 in paragraph 3.1 of the report be deleted;

 

·  Condition 3 in paragraph 8.1 of the report be deleted and replaced with - “Where the sale or supply of alcohol is taking place employees of the premises must request sight of evidence of the age of any person appearing to be under 25 years of age (Challenge 25). Such evidence shall include a driving licence or passport”;

 

·  Condition 4 in paragraph 8.1 of the report be deleted and replaced with – “There shall be at least one (1) SIA registered door supervisor employed at the premises from 22.00 hours until close on Fridays and Saturdays.  Additional SIA registered door supervisors shall be employed on a risk assessment basis with identity badges displayed at all times. All door supervisors will enter their full details in a register at the commencement of their work.  They shall record their full name, home address and contact telephone number, their SIA registration number and the time they commence and conclude working.  If the door supervisor was supplied by an agency, the name, business address and contact details of that agency shall also be recorded”;

 

Reasons for the decision

The application has been approved, with the above amendments, as the Licensing Sub-Committee was satisfied that the licensing objectives would not be undermined. 

 

The Sub-Committee took into consideration the following factors when granting this application, which is based in the Shoreditch SPA:

 

-  That the application did not seek licensable activities beyond midnight on Friday and Saturday nights;

-  That the Police had withdrawn its representation following agreeing conditions with the applicant;

-  That no other persons had made representations against the application; and

-  The additional conditions agreed by the applicant to promote the licensing objectives.

 

The Sub-Committee felt these factors, when taken together and having had regard to the representations from the applicant and the Licensing Authority, merited the application being considered as exceptional and believed that grant of the application would not add to the issues of cumulative impact experienced in the area. 

 

Public informative

The Sub-Committee noted that the application as applied for and granted would require licensable activities to cease at the same time each day of the week that the premises must close, and that there would therefore be no drinking-up/winding-down period.  The applicant advised that they would submit another application to vary the licence to extend the opening hours throughout the week to allow for a drinking-up/winding down period.
