Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by Collection Properties
Ltd for a new Premises licence in respect of 11-15 Grosvenor Crescent, London, SW1X 7EE.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee and
confirmed that the City Council’s Environmental Health
Department had withdrawn its representation following the agreement
of conditions with the applicant. The Sub-Committee noted that
prior to the hearing the Licensing Team had attempted
unsuccessfully to contact the resident who had submitted the
representation.
Mr Botkai,
representing the Applicant, explained that 11-15 Grosvenor
Crescents consisted entirely of private residences. There were five
entrances to the buildings, three for the townhouses and two for
the serviced apartments. Access could only be gained to these
entrances through the use of a security fob. The application had
been submitted to allow residents to be able to keep or buy wine in
the wine cellar and also allow them and their guests to be able to
consume it in certain designated areas within the Premises. These
areas would consist of a wine cellar, a lobby area and a meeting
room. There would be no element of a bar. Only one representation
had been received and the Sub-Committee was advised that the
Applicant had made numerous attempts to contact the individual to
explain the application but all of these had been unsuccessful. It
was stated that all the residences were held on long term leases
and the nature of the application would have no impact on the
licensing objectives.
The Sub-Committee was
interested to learn whether the residences were only leased on a
long term basis? Mr Moritz, the Operations Manager for the
Applicant company, confirmed that the minimum lease period was for
six months to avoid any short term transition of apartments.
Further clarity on the security of the building was requested. Mr
Moritz explained that the building was serviced twenty-fours a day
by the management team and all wine cabinets used for storing wine
were locked and only accessible to key holders. Residents would
only have access to their own wine cabinets. CCTV had also been
installed and every communal area would be monitored to ensure
control was maintained at all times.
The Sub-Committee
asked further questions relating to the ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by Nespresso – Do
& Do Café UK Ltd for a new premises licence in respect
of Amalco House, 26-28 Broadwick Street,
London, W1F 8JB.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee and
confirmed that the Police had withdrawn their representation
following the agreement of proposed conditions.
Mr Rankin,
representing the Applicant, explained that Nespresso was a high end
brand which planned to open a café within Westminster which
would not be considered a normal high street shop. The
Sub-Committee was advised that a similar
premises had already been opened in Cheapside one year ago
with another branch located near Harrods. The concept of the
application was to style itself as a European style café and
would therefore not operate as a bar. The premises in Cheapside,
which this application was seeking to replicate, was not drink-led
and alcohol only accounted for 2-3% of its wet sales. The
Sub-Committee noted that following constructive discussions with
the City Council’s Environmental Health (“EH”)
and the Licensing Authority a consensus of conditions had been
agreed. Mr Rankin highlighted the small nature of the Premises and
informed the Sub-Committee that an application had been submitted
for planning permission to allow the use of an outside area. It was
hoped a decision on the outside tables and chairs application would
be received in September 2017. The hours requested were less than
those stipulated in the core hours policy and all the
Police’s proposed conditions had been accepted. The
Sub-Committee’s attention was drawn to one of the proposed
conditions which would ensure any sales of alcohol would be
ancillary to food. Following discussions with EH and the Licensing
Authority it had been proposed that the standard restaurant
condition, Model Condition 66, be placed on the licence to provide
reassurance the Premises would not operate as a bar. Mr Rankin
expressed reservations to this as the proposed style of operation
did not fit into the standard restaurant condition. It was
therefore proposed to attach an ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by The Crown Estate for a
new Premises licence in respect of 1 St
James’s Market, London, SW1Y 4AH.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application to the
Sub-Committee.
Mr O’Maoileoin
explained how the application related to the
7th floor of an office building which had recently been
redeveloped by the applicant who he was representing, The Crown
Estate. Conditions proposed by the applicant and the City
Council’s Environmental Health Department (“EH”)
had been agreed aside from a slight amendment to EH’s first
condition so it would read “There shall be no fixed bar area
at any time at the Premises.” To provide reassurance to the
Sub-Committee that the general public would not be able to access
the Premises condition 10 had been proposed to ensure that alcohol
could only be sold or supplied to Directors, partners, officers and
employees of the Licensee and their bona fide guests. Also, a list
of those attending private events would be maintained at the
reception and be made readily available for inspection by the
relevant authorities upon request. Mr O’Maoileoin stated to the Sub-Committee that
the hours requested were slightly less than core hours and the
licence would be ancillary to the use of the Premises as corporate
offices.
Mr O’Maoileoin recognised that the Premises was
located within a Cumulative Impact Area (“CIA”) however
it was felt the nature of the application and the proposed
conditions to be added to the licence would satisfy the
Sub-Committee that it would uphold the promotion of the licensing
objectives and not add to cumulative impact in the area. It was
stated that the Licensing Service’s representation focused on
the licensing objectives of prevention of crime and disorder and
public safety. In response it was highlighted to the Sub-Committee
that the Premises was not located in a residential area, there were
no residents living within the immediate vicinity and the highway
it was located on was not particularly busy. The conditions
proposed by the applicant addressed those licensing objectives in
particular. They would ensure:
- no events could be
held at the Premises by external promoters;
- no draught sales of
beer;
- if staff or guests
leave the Premises to smoke they would not be permitted to take
drinks or glass containers with them; and
- notices would be prominently
displayed at ...
