In respect of application 9, 11 Great
Cumberland Place, Councillor Heather Acton declared
that she lives reasonably close to the premises (not close enough
to be able to see the premises from her residence) and occasionally
uses the shop. She did not believe that
what was proposed would impact on her personally and it therefore
did not affect her ability to consider the application
impartially.

Application
determined under Section 21 of the City of Westminster Act
1999.
Application to vary the existing temporary licence, increasing
the hours when the tables and chairs can be used from 23:00 to
midnight every day of the week.
|
Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
The Sub-Committee
heard from Ms Hogg, representing the Applicant in respect of the
application. Ms Hogg referred to the
premises at 22-24 Lansdowne Row having planning permission for the
use of the pavement for the placing of tables and chairs until
midnight for the temporary period until 30 April 2018. She stated that this would have taken into account
considerations such as those relating to amenity and potential
disturbance to residents. She stated
that she was aware that it is rare for the Council to allow the
public highway to be used after 23:00 for placing tables and
chairs. The exceptions for later
external seating were in central Westminster locations such as
Leicester Square and Heddon
Street. Ms Hogg expressed the view that
there were exceptional grounds for varying the existing temporary
tables and chairs licence and permitting their use until
midnight.
The exceptional
grounds given by Ms Hogg included that there was a limited number
of residents in the locality that she believed were impacted by
customers sitting outside the premises until midnight. It was her view that any noise would be contained
in Lansdowne Row. She referred to the
nearest residents living in Curzon Street on the western side and
Berkeley Street on the eastern side whilst the southern side of
Lansdowne Row was occupied by a hotel and the northern side of
Lansdowne Row by offices. In terms of
the dispersal of customers, Ms Hogg commented that with traffic and
ambient noise at this location including from other premises, up to
a maximum of 26 people leaving from the outside area would have a
minimal impact on residents.
Another reason given
by Ms Hogg as to why the temporary tables and chairs licence should
be extended to midnight was the profile of the customers being
different from other premises. This was
because the style of the offering was centred around shisha, imported from Azerbaijan. She described this as being relatively expensive
(about £50 per hour to customers to partake) and was
traditionally enjoyed during the evening and after
dinner. Alcohol sold at the premises
was responsible for approximately 10% of sales and consumption was
very low. Ms Hogg added that customers
leaving the premises at midnight were likely not to be intoxicated
or be having loud conversations.
Ms Hogg stated that

Amendments to application
advised at hearing:
|
|
Mr Walsh, representing the
Applicant Company, advised the Sub-Committee that the application
had been amended so that there would be no takeaway after
23:00.
|
|
Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
|
The Sub-Committee
heard from Mr Walsh, representing the Applicant
Company. He described the premises as a
high quality seafood restaurant. The
establishment was currently operating with the benefit of Temporary
Event Notices. Mr Walsh stated that he
believed the proposed conditions had been agreed with the
Responsible Authorities, including the Council’s model
restaurant condition, MC66. It was also
his understanding that the Responsible Authorities no longer
objected to the application. The
Applicant was now proposing hours that were in keeping with the
Council’s Core Hours policy except for a commencement hour of
10:00 on Sunday in order to provide a brunch option.
Mr Walsh explained
that the area of difference between the Applicant and Mrs
Campin, local resident, was that Mrs
Campin was requesting that the premises
would close at 22:30 or at least that licensable activities ceased
at this hour. This was on the basis
that other licensed premises in the vicinity trade until this
time. Mr Walsh wished to clarify that
whilst premises such as Bella Italia in the area may only trade
until 22:30, they were permitted to trade to Core
Hours. It was possible that the seafood
restaurant might not trade until the proposed terminal hour every
night in the event the application was granted but the Applicant
wished to have some flexibility. There
was a capacity of 26. Mr Walsh added
that the Applicant would work closely with Mrs Campin and be a good neighbour.
The Sub-Committee
asked Mr Walsh whether he was content for the hours the premises
are open to the public to be in keeping with Core Hours in order to
comply with the Core Hours policy. Mr
Walsh confirmed that his client was content with this subject to
retaining the 10:00 opening hour on Sunday.
Mr Watson on behalf of
Environmental Health advised that he had visited the premises to
clear the works ten days previously.
There was therefore no need for works conditions to be attached to
the premises licence in the event it was granted. 32 Henrietta Street was a 26 capacity restaurant

Decision (including reasons if

|
|
Mr O’Maoileoin,
representing the Applicant, explained that the main intention of
the application for the variation of the premises licence was to
extend the terminal hour by half an hour on Sundays for the sale of
alcohol in the downstairs restaurant to the rear of the premises to
01:00.
The application only applied to the restaurant area which has 120
covers. He commented that there would
not be 120 people leaving the restaurant on Monday morning at
01:00.
Mr O’Maoileoin advised
he was also seeking to remove out of date conditions on the licence
following discussions with Environmental Health and add a couple of
new conditions. One of the new
conditions was that after 23:00 the supply of alcohol in the
restaurant would be ancillary to seated customers consuming a table
meal. He was content for the alcohol to
be served by waiter or waitress (this was not included in the
proposed conditions).
The Sub-Committee had concerns
regarding the proposed removal of condition 20 (i) (c) which set
out that ‘the sale of alcohol must be ancillary to the use of
the premises for music and dancing and substantial
refreshment’. This was because if
the sale of alcohol was not ancillary to substantial refreshment
then the premises could be drink led.
Mr O’Maoileoin responded that he was content for the sale of
alcohol to be ancillary to the use of the premises for substantial
refreshment. He was not seeking for the
premises to be drink led.
The Sub-Committee heard from
Mr Nevitt on behalf of Environmental Health. He advised that the advantage of the application
was greater clarity in respect of the conditions on the premises
licence. Some of the conditions on the
existing premises licence were being amended with improved wording,
including in some cases the Council’s model
conditions. He emphasised that it was
important not to change the nature of the premises. The application was restricted to the restaurant
area. Mr Nevitt stated that balanced
against the improved conditions was the proposed extension of the
terminal hour for the sale of alcohol on Sundays with up to 120
people leaving the premises later. He
added that he had maintained his representation because of the
later terminal hour for the sale of alcohol on Sundays in the West
End Cumulative Impact Area.

Decision (including reasons if

|
|
The Sub-Committee
proposed that the two applications for Restaurant, Ground Floor,
Strand Palace Hotel, 372 Strand (17/05581/LIPN) and Bar, Ground Floor, Strand Palace Hotel, 372 Strand
(17/05624/LIPN) would be heard together. There were no objections from any of the parties
who had made representations regarding this approach. The Sub-Committee when determining the two
applications considered the applications separately.
Mr Walsh, representing
the Applicant Company, explained that Joe Allen the American
restaurant had traded at 13 Exeter Street from 1979 until
2017. 13 Exeter Street was being
redeveloped as a hotel and the Joe Allen operation was being moved
to the Strand Palace Hotel. The areas
sought to be licensed were included within the current licence for
the Strand Palace Hotel (16/04629/LIPVM). In the event that the two
applications for the restaurant and bar were granted by the
Sub-Committee at the Strand Palace Hotel, the Hotel would
de-licence the ground floor areas via a minor variation
application. Mr Walsh made the
additional point that his client was content for a condition to be
attached to the licence that no licensable activities would take
place at the premises until the minor variation application had
come into effect and the Hotel premises licence had been
de-licensed.
Mr Walsh acknowledged
that slightly longer hours for the sale of alcohol (half an hour
extra Monday to Thursday, an hour extra on Sundays that did not
precede Bank Holidays and half an hour extra on Sundays that did
precede Bank Holidays) were being applied for in respect of the bar
area that was the subject of the new application than for the bar
area on the existing Strand Palace Hotel premises
licence. He said that the reason for
this was that whilst the Joe Allen restaurant was physically
separate from the bar, the bar was complementary to the restaurant
and had the same management team. The
Applicant was seeking to mirror the hours of the two
areas. The hours sought for the sale of
alcohol for the Joe Allen restaurant were identical to those
permitted for the restaurant area within the existing hotel
premises licence. Mr Walsh made the
point that in discussions with the Applicant the Police had
recommended that the restaurant and bar operating hours should be
the same in order ...

The Sub-Committee
proposed that the two applications for Restaurant, Ground Floor,
Strand Palace Hotel, 372 Strand (17/05581/LIPN) and Bar, Ground Floor, Strand Palace Hotel, 372 Strand
(17/05624/LIPN) would be heard together. There were no objections from any of the parties

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
|
The Sub-Committee
heard from Ms Sharkey, representing the Applicant. She referred to the premises being formally
licensed up until a couple of years ago and that it had been an on
licence operating until 01:00 on the ground floor, first floor and
mezzanine. She stated that an area her
client was seeking the terminal hour of 01:00 for was the bar and
restaurant on the ground floor. The
proposed footprint was slightly less in size than the ground floor
area used previously as the hotel reception for Victory House was
included there. Ms Sharkey also
provided the information that the outside area had been used by the
previous operator as well.
Ms Sharkey referred to
some of the proposed conditions discussed with the Responsible
Authorities (the Police had withdrawn their
representation). The Applicant had
amended condition 10 of the proposed conditions so that the
premises would now operate as a restaurant after 20:00 save for
hotel residents and four bona fide guests and persons attending a
pre-booked private or corporate function. The time when the premises would become a
restaurant as set out in the Council’s model condition MC66
had been reduced from 21:00 in order to bring it into line with
Council policy. Ms Sharkey also
proposed a limit of 20 people for the pre-booked private or
corporate functions. She added that she
did not envisage many private or corporate functions to be booked
because they would take place where the hotel/bar reception was
located. They would most likely occur
during the daytime.
Ms Sharkey explained
that condition 12 of the proposed conditions was also being amended
following discussions with the Police so that a SIA licensed door
supervisor would now be on duty from midday each day rather than
the 20:00 previously offered. The door
supervisor would be on duty until the last non-resident had left
the restaurant. She made the point that
there was no physical bar due to lack of space and it therefore
could not be seen from the street. The
style of the operation would be a French brasserie. There would
be no external advertising of bar facilities. People would see customers sat down and served by
waiter or waitress. There were 50
covers internally and 32 covers
externally.

by the Sub-Committee to provide ...

Mr O’Maoileoin advised
the Sub-Committee that the Temporary Event Notice 17/06451/LITENP
had been withdrawn for the proposed event on 5 August.
|
Decision:
Following Councillor
Acton’s declaration, Mr O’Maoileoin was asked whether
he or his client had any objection to her considering the
application. He replied that they had
no objection whatsoever to her considering the
application.
Mr O’Maoileoin explained
when withdrawing the Temporary Event Notice (‘TEN’) for
5 August 2017 (17/06451/LITENP) that his client was mindful of the
concerns of the Metropolitan Police.
The Premises User had originally applied for 13 TENs in 21
days. He was now seeking the additional
hour from 23:00 on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 July. Mr O’Maoileoin advised that whilst off-sales
of alcohol ceased at 23:00, the premises operated 24 hours a
day. If the application was granted,
the conditions on the premises licence would be attached to the
TENs. There were seven personal licence
holders working at the shop at different times of the day and all
staff members were trained. There were
16 CCTV cameras at the shop.
Mr O’Maoileoin stated
that the Police’s concerns were due to there being potential
flashpoints at Marble Arch late into the evening. For this reason, the Premises User was offering to
have a SIA registered security person outside the premises for the
two evenings applied for. He confirmed
in response to the Police’s written representation in the
report that there had been an incident at the premises on 19 July
2016. Thugs had moved on from another
incident in McDonalds in Marble Arch, some of whom had wielded
knives. That evening a Police Officer
had been stabbed in the Hyde Park area.
From the CCTV footage at 11 Great Cumberland Place it had become
apparent that a member of staff had been involved in an
