7.1   The Licensing Sub-Committee heard from the Principal Licensing Officer, the applicant, the Responsible Authorities (Licensing and Police) and a other person, who requested to remain anonymous for the meeting.

 

7.2  During the course of submissions there was a discussion where the Sub-Committee noted the following points:

·  The Police had proposed a number of additional conditions with the application including, for example, a comprehensive CCTV system and an incident log;

·  The Applicant had submitted two letters of support from Sistah Space a charity providing support for black women against domestic abuse and a Ms June Tuitt Acting Chair of Haringey Community Against Violence, Vice Chair of Haringey Independent Stop and Search Monitoring Group;

·  There remained concerns from the Responsible Authorities about the location of application on the cumulative impact of the area - the premises was in the  Dalston Special Policy Area (SPA);

·  The applicant confirmed that he would become the Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS);

·  The other person  expressed a number of concerns about the application centred on the playing of loud amplified music and noisy dispersals from premises and what they believed to be  outlandish applied for hours;

·  It was noted that a condition was included in the application report, condition 16, whereby a sound limiting device within the premises would be installed to control all amplified sound generated on the premises;

·  Ms Tuitt spoke briefly in support of the premises and its support in providing a venue for the local community as well as her organisation;

·  The premises was hired out as a venue approximately 40 times during a year;

·  The Sub-Committee and Responsible Authorities remained concerned that the proposed licensable hours were well beyond the Core Hours. A closing time of 2:00am had been proposed but even this remained an ongoing concern;

·  The Other Person remained concerned over the application and also what had been proposed at the meeting. They felt that the proposed conditions provided by the Police were ambiguous and that they liked there to be some certainty going forward;

·  The applicant confirmed that they had suggested that the operating hours be scaled back to 4:00 am and that a dispersal policy was in place;

·  The Police confirmed that they had seen the premises’ dispersal policy;

·  The Applicant stressed that there were several premises in the vicinity who had operating hours that were much later than his premises. He highlighted that the premises would provide a much needed venue for local community groups;

·  A previous Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) had last been carried out back in 2017. The Sub-Committee clarified that a FRA needed to be carried out by a professional at least every four years. The applicant would update their FRA. The Applicant would also provide an acoustic report;

·  A maximum capacity of 90 people was agreed for the premises;

·  The wording of condition 17 would be amended to take into account that no customer would be served alcohol under 25 years of age unless they were a member of a community group attending  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.
