Proposed Variation of layout
|
|
|
Reconfiguration of the kitchen
and restaurant bar area on the basement floor. The changes include
the introduction of a bar counter in the area formerly designated
as a kitchen.
Note: There is no change to the
ground floor plan.

|
Amendments to application
advised at hearing:

None.
|
|
|
Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
|
|
The Sub-Committee initially
heard from Mr Spiegler, representing the Applicant. He explained that there were two aspects to the
application. Firstly, it was proposed
to remove the ‘there shall be no draught sales of
alcohol’ condition in order to be able to sell Japanese beers
on tap. He did not believe that any
representations had been made objecting to this. Secondly, there was the reconfiguration of the
kitchen and restaurant bar area on the basement floor. There were no changes to the ground floor
layout. There was a kitchen and service
bar in the existing basement layout in the plans and these were
being swapped in the updated plans.
This would lead to a reduction in the licensable area.
Mr Spiegler wished to assure
those present that there were conditions on the existing licence which ensured that the premises would
continue to operate as a restaurant and there was no intention to
amend these. The supply of alcohol at
the premises would only be to seated customers having a table meal
who would be
served by waiter or waitress only. The
bar in the basement would continue only to be accessible to
customers having a meal. He requested
that the Council’s model restaurant condition was not imposed
by the Sub-Committee as there were already restaurant conditions on
the existing licence and he
didn’t think that it was appropriate in the
circumstances. His client had agreed
the Council’s model conditions in respect of CCTV and
maintaining an incident log with the Police to promote the
licensing objectives should the Sub-Committee be minded to grant
the application. A capacity of 25 had
also been agreed with the Responsible Authorities in the
basement. Mr Spiegler added that he had written to the
residents setting out the position, including the food led nature
of the operation. He did not believe
that there was any adverse cumulative impact caused by the
application in the West End Stress Area as there were no proposed
changes ...
