Summary of Application
The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Variation of a Premises under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of The Office Group 91 Wimpole Street London W1G 0EF(“The Premises”). The Premises operates as an office space and was granted a Premises Licence in June of this year under licensing reference 22/02131/LIPN. The Office Group Properties Limited are the Premises Licence Holder (“PLH”). The PLH is returning to the Sub-Committee as their initial application did not cover the provision for the Off Sale of Alcohol. The PLH is seeking to permit off sales of alcohol to enable consumption of alcohol on the rooftop terrace area. No other off sales will be permitted. They are only wanting to service the businesses within their building and not to the public.
The Premises are located within the West End Ward but not located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone or any Special Consideration Zone. There is no policy presumption to refuse the application. 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
There is a resident count of 45.
Representations received
• Metropolitan Police (PC Andy Elliott) WITHDRAWN • Environmental Health (Maxwell Koduah) • 2 Local residents (Objecting)
Summary of issues raised by objectors
The Metropolitan Police withdrew their application following consultation with the PLH and having visited the Premises and receiving further information on the use of the premises licence. The Environmental Health Service did agree conditions with the PLH but maintained their representation which initially centred on the possibility that the application may increase the level of Public Nuisance and impact of Public Safety, thereby undermining both the Prevention of Public Nuisance and Prevention of Public Safety licensing objectives. Two local residents objected on the grounds of an invasion of privacy as they live opposite the Premises with the potential to cause noise pollution and anti-social behaviour.
