Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an application by Grosvenor West End Properties for a new premises licence in respect of Grosvenor Square Gardens, Grosvenor Square, London, W1K 6LD (“The Premises”). The Presenting Officer provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee. This was a continuation of an adjourned application from the hearing on the 7June 2018, the application was for a new premises licence for Grosvenor Square. Mr Baylis advised that the Applicant had now considered the application during the adjournment period and admitted there was some initial confusion regarding the application and the new schedule of conditions had been slimmed down and made clearer. The Sub-Committee was also advised that the Applicant would no longer be offering private events, and had removed the off sale of alcohol and had limited the number of free and ticketed events.
Mr Baylis advised that the new licence is intended for events held within the Square. The proposal is for 2 types of events, (1) 55 free events where the whole square is open to the public, and (2) 25 ticketed events for ballet, theatre and jazz. The Sub-Committee asked questions and sought further clarification from the Applicant about the number of days sought, capacity and times for these events. The Sub-Committee also enquired from the Applicant the use of TENs previously used by the Applicant to host many of these events.
The Sub-Committee heard from Ms Chrissy Cullen representing the Applicant, who advised the Sub-Committee that the 55 Free and non-ticketed events for the community were designed to foster a sense of community for local residents, schools and businesses. Using the events to create a sense of place within Mayfair that is inclusive, friendly and welcoming.
Ms Cullen advised that the 2018/19 days would be broken down as follows:
· Summer in the park would be 30 days throughout July · Mayfair (Mayday 1st bank holiday in May ) 7 days in May · Christmas Events 14 days in December · Seasonal (i.e. Easter) London or National Events (i.e. Olympics) 4 days
Ms Cullen then went on to discuss the 25 ticketed events, advising the Sub-Committee that these events would be introduce a sense of culture to Mayfair and working in line with partners such as the English National Ballet, attracting local residents and new people to Mayfair. Ticket prices would range from less than £20 to £100, in line with other theatre and ticketed events in London. A certain amount of tickets will always be available to local residents through a ballot system. Ms Cullen advised the Sub-Committee that for ticketed events, 4 metre wide gates would be installed, these gates would only be closed to the public during ticketed events.
Mr Baylis brought the Sub-Committee’s attention to proposed condition 19, advising that the after taking back Grosvenor Square from DCMS, where they are required to form a management group which is to be comprised of local stakeholders including residents approved in writing by Grosvenor. The Sub-Committee sought further clarification regarding the number of days and types of events with the Applicant, referring to “Transition” in August. Ms Cullen confirmed that this was no longer happening. Mr Baylis explained that the dates were not set in stone and that the Applicant was trying to give the Sub-Committee an indication of how the events would be managed. The Sub-Committee questioned the 25 ticketed events and queried whether 17 of the 25 days had been publicised, set out in a programme and advertised already. Ms Cullen confirmed that for this year those 17 days had been set. The Sub-Committee queried what events might be held on the remaining 8 days. Ms Cullen confirmed that for this year (2018) the other 8 days would not be utilised. In future years, similar events will be held over more days.
The Sub-Committee then sought further clarification regarding the dispersal of customers for both the ticketed and non-ticketed events, specifically requesting details on what time customers are likely to leave the Square. The Sub-committee were concerned that although customers would not be supplied alcohol after 22:00 hours Monday to Saturday and 21:00 hours on Sunday; there were no conditions to prohibit patrons from staying in the Square consuming that alcohol until much later into the night. Mr Baylis explained that for ticked events this would be managed, as customers will be in one structure and the sale of alcohol would cease at 22:00 hours and regulated entertainment would end 30 minutes later. Mr Baylis advised that he would be happy to consider a condition where the consumption of alcohol will cease 30 minutes thereafter.
The Sub-Committee then queried how this would be managed for non-ticked events, especially when we do not have a capacity limitation. Mr Baylis felt that because of the nature of the events, people coming and going, the Applicant has used their previous 6 /7 years’ experience of running these events. Ms Cullen advised that at the non-ticketed events there are small bar areas and as it starts to get dark, customers tend to start leaving the Square at approximately 21:30 hours. The Sub-Committee advised that they are dealing with a premises licensing and previous experiences is relevant, but is only part of the story, the Sub-Committee needed to consider the whole story and with certainty know how the licensing objectives will be observed. The Sub-Committee appreciated past experience, however it was felt that this was not helpful in terms of conditioning a licence, as there were no means to control dispersal. Mr Baylis advised the Sub-Committee that there was still an element of uncertainty and that he believed the agreements with the Responsible Authorities, in advance of the event (Management Plans), would be much more detailed regarding how the bar areas in the Square would operate in practice . The Police and EH will have the ability to veto any type of licensing activity. The Sub-Committee made it clear that there are significant differences between TEN’s and premises licenses, i.e. 499 people as appose to an unknown number.
PC Bryan Lewis (Metropolitan Police) advised the Sub-Committee that the Police originally objected to the application on the prevention of crime and disorder, conditions were recommended to the Applicant, which had been agreed. PC Lewis explained that it had been difficult to formulate the conditions, due to the different types and nature of these events, PC Lewis highlighted concerns regarding security being difficult to condition. PC Lewis advised the Sub-Committee that there was still one condition regarding CCTV that has not been agreed, PC Lewis referred to earlier concerns, regarding patrons staying in the Square after the events had ended and the unknown number of customers. It was felt that there would be a high risk of violence with the bigger events selling alcohol; smaller events where there is no sale of alcohol would in the Police opinion pose a lesser risk. PC Lewis however still strongly maintained that all events would require CCTV to prevent crime and disorder.
The Sub-Committee then heard the concerns raised from Mr David Nevitt Environmental Health (EH) Officer, who explained that since the matter had been adjourned there had been some helpful meetings held with the Applicant, who has since agreed to Event Management Plans for each event, each plan will need to be approved by EH and the Police before the event can take place. However EH still remained concerned regarding noise levels, late hours, capacity and crowd dispersal. It was also felt that 80 days was a substantial amount of days, Mr Nevitt expressed that there was also nothing stopping the Applicant for applying for TEN’s in addition to the Premises Licence. The Sub-Committee asked Mr Nevitt to comment on the capacity numbers, In reply Mr Nevitt advised that the Sub-Committee should consider the lateness of the hours and the number of each events, It was felt that each event or Event Management Plan would need to be scrutinised prior to each event taking place to ensure that it was fit for purpose and have the desired effect of promoting the public safety licensing objective.
A number of representations were made from local residents, who attended the meeting and addressed the Sub-Committee. Mike Dunn Local resident, explained that the previous public events held by Grosvenor Square (Summer in the Square) were small in scale and impact; and were welcomed and appreciated by the community. Mr Brookfield Local resident, objected to the level of noise music performance would generate, number of days, capacity and lateness of hours of the new application, advising that this was a residential area and would have a large impact on the community particularly with regard to nuisance. Richard Brown, CAB project Officer representing Vivienne Loesch, raised concerns regarding residents not being able to access the Square during ticketed events, the dispersal of crowds, consumption of alcohol and taking open containers out of the Square. One resident requested that if the Sub-Committee was minded to grant the application, a phone number be available to residents should they have any concerns during the events.
The Sub-Committee acknowledged that there had been some changes to the original application, these were removing off sales, reducing the total number of events and operating hours. The Sub-Committee after careful consideration of all the evidence submitted and heard at both hearings, and taking in to consideration the promotion of the licensing objectives, the Sub-Committee granted the application for a period of 12 months with a number of additional conditions. The Sub-Committee felt that this was the right and proportionate decision to make, advising that only then would it be clear how the Square will be used going and properly managed going forward that would promote the licensing objectives for the licensable activities granted. The Sub-Committee felt that by granting a time limit Premises Licence this would be fair to the Applicant and to those who had raised a number of concerns in how the Square would cope with the vast numbers of people attending such events and the hype of activity that would follow as a consequence. Conditions imposed on the licence included reduced hours (From Mon-Sat 23:30 & Sun 22:30 to Mon-Sun 20:00), a reduction in the number of days of ticketed events (From 25 to 10) and a maximum capacity of 850 for ticketed events. CCTV will also be used at each event and no bottling out between 21:00 hours to 08:00 hours. The Sub-Committee advised that the Event Management Plan for each type of event to be held in the Square was crucial in its decision in agreeing the conditions to be imposed on the Premises Licence.
The Sub-Committee considered that the conditions imposed on the Premises Licence to be appropriate and proportionate that will help promote the licensing objectives
