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

 

the application be refused in accordance with the Council’s Licensing Policies LP4, LP5 and LP13.

 

The Sub-Committee having heard from the applicant, the Licensing Authority and local residents, believed that granting the application would undermine the licensing objectives, in particular the prevention of public nuisance. 

 

The Sub-Committee had regard to the representations in respect of LP13, in particular the reasons and circumstances asserted by the applicant, which they believed to be exceptional warranting the grant of the application.  However, the Sub-Committee, was not satisfied that these grounds, taken individually or collectively, were exceptional to warrant the application being granted. 

 

The Sub-Committee also considered the concerns raised, both in writing and at the hearing, from local residents who live in close proximity to the premises, regarding the negative impact associated with licensed premises in the Shoreditch SPA. The Sub-Committee accepted the concerns raised regarding the specific location of this premises within the SPA, which they believed suffered from acute problems of cumulative impact arising from the concentration of licensed premises.  As such the Sub-Committee felt that by granting the application this would inevitably result in more people drinking in the SPA and in turn increase disturbance to local residents. The Sub-Committee did not believe there were any appropriate conditions, which would prevent the licensing objectives from being undermined. 

 

Given the reasons set-out above the Sub-Committee, having regard to LP13, believed that the application was not exceptional, as they believed that granting this application would not promote the licensing objectives, particularly the prevention of public nuisance.
