My proffering a condition that allows customer toilet at 27 to be available to customers at 38, applicant may be compromising the risk assessment that informed the capacity of 27 Bruton Place and by extension increasing the risk of public nuisance and public safety in the area. · Extending hours for the sale of alcohol to 11pm Mon-Sat and 10.30pm on Sunday (from a 9pm cut-off currently), significantly raises the risk of noise and disruption in Bruton Place, particularly close to numbers 36, 38 and 40 Bruton Place which are residential properties. · There is already very material and increased commercial activity in the street, including new licensed premises, which is having a very negative impact on residents including late night noise and disturbance as well as additional deliveries and ... view the full minutes text for item 1. |
