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

 

The Sub-Committee considered an application by 10 Portman Square Trustees No.1 and No.2 Limited (“The Applicant”) for a new premises licence in respect of 8 Baker Street, London W1U 3AA.

 

The Presenting Officer introduced the application.  She advised that the Police had withdrawn their representation as conditions had been agreed with the Applicant. She further advised that Environmental Health had maintained their representation on policy grounds and that a local resident had requested that the loading bay at the rear of the Premises was not used outside the hours stipulated in the planning consent – 19.00 and 07:30.  The Sub-Committee noted that the Premises are located in the West End Ward but not in a Cumulative Impact Area.

Mr Jack Spiegler, Solicitor, representing the Applicant, advised that this was an application for a new premises licence.  The Sub-Committee heard that the Applicant was seeking to permit late night refreshment indoors between the hours of 23:00 to 23:30 Monday to Thursday and 23:00 to 00:00 on Friday and Saturday.  It was also proposed for the sale of alcohol (on and off the premises) to be permitted between 10:00 to 23:30 Monday to Thursday, 10:00 to 00:00 Friday and Saturday and 12:00 to 22:30 Sundays. 

 

Mr Spiegler advised that the application was effectively to reinstate a lapsed premises licence on the same terms as previously permitted and that the only outstanding dispute was that the Applicant had requested that the condition ‘‘Norubbish, including bottles, shall be moved, removed or placed in outside areas between 23:00 hours and 08:00 hours’ remained on the licence and was not changed to the hours – 19:00 and 07:30 that had been stipulated in the planning consent.  Mr Spiegler stated that the Applicant was not able to attend the hearing and that no further information had been received from the Applicant regarding their business model for the Premises.  Mr Spiegler confirmed that the condition regarding the ‘supply of alcohol at the premises was ancillary to a table meal’ remained on the licence.

 

Mr Ian Watson, representing the Environmental Health Service, advised that Environmental Health and one local resident had  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.

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

 

The Sub-Committee considered an application by Six Italian Food T/a L’antica Pizzeria Da Michele Ltd (“The Applicant”) for a new premises licence in respect of 44 Old Compton Street, London W1D 4TY.

 

The Presenting officer introduced the application.  She advised that the Police had withdrawn their representation as conditions had been agreed with the Applicant.  She further advised that Environmental Health, the Licensing Authority and the Soho Society had maintained their representation on policy grounds.  The Sub-Committee noted that the Premises is located in the West End Ward and in the West End Cumulative Impact Area.

 

 

 

Mr Young, representing the Applicant, advised that this was an application for a new premises licence to operate as a restaurant and Pizzeria serving a variety of food and beverages (the premises was previously licensed as Patisserie Valerie until it went into administration in 2018).  Mr Young stated that the Applicant was seeking to permit late night refreshment indoors between the hours of 23:00 to 00:30 Monday to Sunday and the sale of alcohol (on the premises) between 10:00 to 00:00 Monday to Saturday and 12:00 to 22:30 Sundays.  The Sub-Committee noted that during consultation the Applicant agreed with the Licensing Authority to remove Live Music and Recorded Music from their operating schedule. 

 

Mr Young introduced Mr Amedeo Aterrano (the Applicant) who currently managed a restaurant and Pizzeria located in Baker Street.  Mr Young advised that Mr Aterrano now wished to expand into Soho and had secured the lease for 44 Compton Street as it had been his understanding that the transfer of the licence from Patisserie Valerie would be relevantly easy.  However, during the

closure of Patisserie Valerie no-one had taken into consideration the transfer of the licence of the premise which had resulted in Mr Aterrano needing to apply for a new premises licence on the same terms as the one still held by Patisserie Valerie.  Mr Young emphasised that the Premises had received no adverse complaints regarding the operation of the licence and that no individual residents living either side of the Premises had made a representation against the application.  He further confirmed that the restaurant model condition would continue to be attached to the licence and as a restaurant the premises would not  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
