Summary of Application
This is an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises operate as a restaurant. The Premises previously had the benefit of a premises licence (06/12282/WCCMAP), but the licence lapsed due to an administrative error dating back to March 2016.
There is a resident count of 218.
Representations Received
· Metropolitan Police Service (withdrew 16 December 2022) · Environmental Health Service · Three local residents (objected to the Application) · Two local residents (withdrawn) · One local resident (supported the application).
Issues raised by Objectors.
· The proposals are likely to increase the risk of Public Nuisance and may impact upon Public Safety. · I opposed to the application to extend the hours of the premises 2300 (alcohol) and 2330 (light refreshments) nightly. Despite being a busy thoroughfare Wilton Road is not a locale with a night-time economy, all local restaurants observing fairly early hours of closing nightly. The current application, if successful, will open the floodgates for similar applications from neighbouring businesses. This is turn would alter the character of the area and diminish tranquillity of the residents of what remains a primarily residential area of SW1. · This is a residential area and 11.30 p.m. is too late and would I fear set a precedent for all the restaurants in the street. · In the summer months when the windows are open at night, large groups of diners who often have enjoyed a drink are not ever quiet when leaving. They stand outside for both smoking and waiting for taxis at the end of the night. · If the time was amended to 10.30 that would be fine and would be more than they currently use.

Issues raised by Objectors.
· The hours requested for Late Night Refreshment will have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance within the area and may impact on Public Safety. · If the application is granted it would be to harm the licensing objectives of prevention of public nuisance and prevention of crime and disorder.
· Concerns relate to: 1. Noise Nuisance from delivery drivers and/or customers of the premises loitering in the Mews eating their food. 2. Anti-social behaviour from delivery drivers and/or customers of the premises loitering in the Mews eating their food. 3. Residents feeling intimated returning to their homes in the late evening or in the early hours. 4. Litter and packaging left in the Mews.
· If the hours of this takeaway are extended it can only exacerbate: 1. Noise and smells from its cooking 2. Noise/disturbance as customers or deliveries attend 3. Possible anti-social behaviour as people know it is open very late and make a point of stopping there. 4. Increased rubbish as people eat their food in the street.
