Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
public
nuisance, public
safety, and protection of children from harm).
Michael Nickson (Agent, representing the Applicant) began
by confirming that the application was to provide late night
refreshment until 01:00 hrs Monday to Sunday, which did not include
proposals for takeaway, nor would any fast food be served. There
were also no proposals to supply alcohol or regulated
entertainment. Mr Nickson advised that the
Applicant had already acquired planning permission for the
activities applied for above and that the application had been
welcomed by a neighbouring hotel and a number of local residents.
The Applicant had proposed a number of conditions and every effort
was being made to adhere to licensing policy. The Sub-Committee
noted that the Applicant had agreed conditions with the Police, who
had withdrawn their representation. Mr Nickson stated that the Applicant had written to
ward Councillors and local residents offering to meet with them to
discuss their concerns, but had received no response and he then
read out the letter that had been sent.
Mr Nickson stated that the Premises was located in a
busy area next to a large hotel and there was also a 24 hour
convenience store nearby. The terminal hour for late night
refreshment was modest at 01:00 hrs. In respect of shisha smoking,
this may happen in the outside area of the Premises, but its
principle business was to operate as a café which also
offered late night refreshment. In respect of some of the
conditions proposed by Environmental Health, Mr Nickson contended that some of these were
inappropriate and therefore the Applicant had not agreed to
proposed conditions 21, 22, 25, 27, 28 and 29 in the report
suggested by them. He stated that the outside area was clearly
defined in the plans and there were large concrete bollards and
planters demarking the Premises from the public area. Mr
Nickson stated that after 23:00 hrs,
there would be a member of staff to manage the outside area,
including entry to the Premises. He felt that moving outside tables
and chairs indoors after 23:00 hrs would be impractical, a
condition suggested by Environmental Health.
HebbahShaban (Director, Applicant Company) then addressed
the Sub-Committee and advised that she had acquired the Premises in
September 2018. There had been extensive refurbishment and the
walls and ceiling had been soundproofed. She reiterated

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
Chris Gaunt (Solicitor,
representing the Applicant) began by stating that the Applicant
offered a range of services employing around some 35,000 people.
One of the functions the organisation carried out was in
hospitality, including operating boat cruises along the River
Thames, which left from the pier that the Premises was located at.
The Applicant intended to bring the pier into more regular use as a
café that would be open to both boat cruise customers and
the public. The food offer would be limited by the facilities on
site and would include a charcuterie, pastries and other such
products and it would not operate as a restaurant. The drinks list
would include fine wines, spirits and bottled beer and there would
be a waiter/waitress service. Discussions had taken place with the
Police and Environmental Health about proposed conditions which had
subsequently been agreed. The Sub-Committee noted that the Police
had withdrawn their representation after agreeing
conditions.
Mr Gaunt referred to the plans,
including the hatched area and he confirmed an amendment to the
application to confirm that the proposal to provide recorded music
now only applied indoors as the outdoors element had been withdrawn
and there would be no loudspeakers positioned outside of the
Premises. It was submitted that the recorded music to be played
inside the Premises, would normally be background music apart from
when functions were taking place. Mr Gaunt explained that the
Premises would operate like a conventional cafe earlier in the day,
whilst as evening approached more customers would be consuming wine
and other alcoholic drinks. Every effort had been made to ensure
that the conditions proposed were clear and unambiguous.
Turning to the representations
made, Mr Gaunt stated that the Premises was located in a busy
location and he felt that the amendments to the original
application and proposed conditions had addressed the concerns
raised. Both Environmental Health and the Police had indicated that
they were satisfied with the conditions related to addressing the
potential issues regarding noise. The Sub-Committee was advised
that with regard to dispersal, the boat cruisers picked up and
dropped off customers at set times and the Applicant was
experienced at managing this during these periods. In terms of the
Premises, the capacity was 110 persons and as customers would leave
at different times, this would lead to ...

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
public
nuisance, public
safety, and protection of children from harm).
James Anderson (Solicitor,
representing the Applicant) began by advising that the Applicant
operated a number of restaurants, including seven in Paris and one
in Lille and was in the process of opening a new restaurant in
Shoreditch, London. It was submitted that the business was French
owned, but offered primarily high quality Italian food and the
staff were also mainly Italian. The Applicant considered the site
to offer a significant opportunity for its business. The intention
was for the Premises to operate as a restaurant, however the model
restaurant condition was not desirable as the Applicant’s
business model offered customers the choice as to whether they
wished to dine or not. This meant that customers would have the
flexibility upon deciding if they wanted to have a meal at any
time, rather than having to decide upon entering the Premises. Mr
Anderson stated that in the circumstances the Sub-Committee should therefore consider the
Applicant’s preference for model condition 38, which states that the
supply of alcohol shall be to seated customers and ancillary to a
table meal, was more appropriate for most areas of the
Premises, save for a hatched area as
demarcated on the plans. The hatched area would be the only area
where customers could drink alcohol without it being ancillary to
food, however even this area had some seating but customers would
still be served alcohol through a waiter/waitress
service.
Mr Anderson concluded his
initial submission by stating that the application was within core
hours, apart from a slightly earlier commencement hour for the sale
of alcohol on Sundays. However, there was a condition proposed
relating to the supply of alcohol between 10:00 and 12:00 on
Sundays stating that it must be ancillary to a table meal. Mr
Anderson felt that the application was well balanced, taking all
its aspects into consideration.
The Sub-Committee noted that
the Premises was located on the opposite side of the road to where
a cumulative impact area was in force and that Rathbone Place had
become significantly busier in recent years. The capacity of the
‘bar area’ was sought and how this would be managed
effectively. Details were also sought as to how queues would be
managed to aid dispersal, in view of the fact that the
Applicant’s other premises could attract a large
