Decision:

The decision of 28th November 2019

 

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 to vary the premises licence has been approved as applied for on the application, and in accordance with the Council’s licensing statement set out in paragraph 8.1 of the report, with the following amendments:

 

·   Supply of Alcohol (on the premises):

 

   Sunday to Thursday  10:00 - 23:00 hours

   Friday to Saturday  10:00 - 23:30 hours

·  There shall be a maximum of 4 people at any one time using the designated smoking area.

Reasons for the decision

 

The application to vary the premises licence 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.

 

The sub-committee took into consideration that the Metropolitan Police had withdrawn their representation in advance of the hearing, and that the applicant agreed to reduce the proposed hours for the sale of alcohol by 30 minutes each day.

 

The sub-committee also took into consideration that the Environmental Protection Team had withdrawn their representation in advance of the hearing following the applicant agreeing to additional conditions relating to smoking.

 

After hearing from the applicant, and considering the representations of the Responsible Authority (Licensing) and Other Persons the sub-committee were satisfied that the reduced hours, and the conditions that the applicant agreed to would promote the licensing objectives.

 

The sub-committee took into consideration that the premises were to be run ancillary to an art gallery, and that the applicant had demonstrated that since the premises licence had been granted that they had complied with the conditions on their licence, and have procedures in place such as a dispersal policy, to control the guests at their private events who were invited by invitation only. It was also noted that the applicant had used a number of Temporary Event Notices for private events which took place without incident.

 

Having taken all of the above factors into consideration the Licensing Sub-Committee were satisfied, when granting the variation to the premises licence, that the licensing objectives would not be unduly undermined particularly in relation to the prevention of crime and disorder and prevention of public nuisance.
