Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):

Unit 1 was one of twelve applications for new premises licences at the Nova Development considered by the Licensing Sub-Committee at the 7 April hearing.  The Sub-Committee was informed by Mr Bark, representing the Applicant that the Nova Development would be a mixed use development, comprising of office, retail, residential and leisure uses.  Unit 1 is leased to D&D Restaurants and this would be located in the Nova South building.  It was proposed that the unit would operate as an upmarket restaurant, café and bar with an associated delicatessen offer. There were also two private dining areas on the first floor where alcohol could be consumed without the need for customers to be seated and without waiter or waitress service but only when those areas were being used for pre-booked private functions.  The approximate capacity, which would need to be agreed with Environmental Health, would be 250 to 300 people.

Mr Bark provided Members with some information on the Nova Development as a whole.  He stated that the safeguards included the experienced landlord, who also own Cardinal Place nearby and the New Street Square and One New Change developments in the City of London.  It chose and managed its tenants well.  Outside the majority of the units at the Nova Development that were the subject of applications for new premises licences there would be a dedicated seating area.  The tenants would not only have a lease for the inside of the premises but also a lease for the outside of the premises.  If there were issues with the outside area, the Landlord, Land Securities, would be able to consider whether this should be removed from the tenant.  Mr Bark explained that there would be a dedicated management team on site who would manage day to day operations.  There would be a security office within the basement which would include a room from which CCTV would be monitored 24 hours 7 days a week.  There would be 184 CCTV cameras throughout the Nova Development.  The security team employed by Land Securities (which worked for them elsewhere) would comprise of between 30 to 35 individuals.  It was anticipated that there would be two shifts when operatives would be working (16 operatives from 07:00 to 19:00 hours and 12 operatives from 19:00 to 07:00).
