Summary of Application
The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of the University Women’s Club 2 Audley Square London W1K 1DB (“The Premises”). The Premises intends to operate as private member’s club. The Premises currently benefits from a Club Premises Certificate (06/07833/WCCMAC).
The Applicant has sought pre-application advice from the Council’s EHS and seeks to replace the Club Premises Certificate with a new Premises Licence as follows:
a) Regularise the permitted hours for alcohol and other licensable activities to 07:00 to 01:00 Monday to Sunday - i.e. actually reducing the hours for regulated entertainment (which are currently unrestricted, 24/7); and
b) Permitting alcohol to be supplied to persons attending bona fide pre-booked functions and events, alongside standard supplies to members of the Club and their guests.
The Premises history can be found at Appendix 3 of the agenda report.
The Applicant has provided documents that include an introduction and description of the application, the pre-application advice report, list of proposed conditions, the Club’s dispersal policy and a letter to interested parties. This can be found at Appendix 2 of the report. The proposed 20 conditions can be found at Appendix 4 of the report.
The Premises are located within the West End Ward but not located in either the West End CIZ or Special Consideration Zone. There is no policy presumption to refuse applications outside of the West End CIZ. 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 155.
Representations were received from the Environmental Health Service and 29 local residents all citing concerns ... view the full minutes text for item 1. |
