Reasons for the Decision

 

The amended application for a premises licence has been approved, as members of the Licensing Sub-committee were satisfied that the licensing objectives would not be undermined. 

 

The Sub-committee took into consideration that the Metropolitan Police Service (“the Police”), the Environmental Protection Service and Environmental Enforcement Service had withdrawn their representations, and agreed conditions with the Applicant in advance of the hearing. The Sub-committee noted that there were no other objections from the other Responsible Authorities.

 

The Sub-committee took into consideration the 7 objections to the application from Other Persons (local residents) under the four licensing objectives. The Sub-committee took into consideration the concerns raised by local residents about the premises operating until 23:00, which would have a negative impact on the local residents and their families that live above the premises. The local residents contended that the late hours would increase crime and disorder, anti-social behaviour, and public nuisance in the residential area. In addition, the local residents made representations that the premises would impact the public safety, and well-being of the local residents, and it would change the structure of the residential area including patrons smoking outside the premises and blocking the entrance to their residential building.

 

The Sub-committee took into account the representations made by the Applicant’s legal representative that this was an Italian family business. The premises sold pastries and pasta. The Applicant has an open door policy for all local residents to raise their concerns about the premises. The Applicant carried out a consultation and there was no response from local residents. The Applicant has amended the operating hours ending licensable activity at 22:00 on Monday to Thursday and closing at 22:30, and on Sundays  ...  view the full decision text for item 6.
