Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Shadow Premises Licence in respect of 4 Greek Street London W1D 4DB under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) under the same terms, conditions and plans as Premises Licence (23/04544/LIPDPS).

 

The Premises benefits from two Premises Licences. The first Premises Licence (21/10072/LIPVM) was granted in full by a Licensing Sub-Committee in October 2013. Officers granted under delegated powers in October 2020 an application

for a shadow licence (23/04544/LIPDPS) which was made on the same terms, conditions and plans of 21/10072/LIPVM.

 

In July 2023, the landlord transferred licence number 23/04544/LIPDPS to a Mr Elliott Dennis Rogers so he was able to use this licence. As both premises licences are on the same terms and conditions only a copy of premises licences 23/04544/LIPDPS can be found at Appendix 2 of the agenda report.

 

During consultation, the Applicant agreed an amended model condition MC97 with the Licensing Authority. This can be found at Appendix 5.

 

The Premises are located within the West End Ward and West End Cumulative Impact Zone. There is a presumption to refuse the application unless an exception to policy is made. The matter was assessed on its individual merits having regard to the evidence before the Licensing Sub-Committee and the promotion of the licensing objectives.

 

A written submission was produced by the solicitors acting for the Applicant and this can be found  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.
