Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an application by
Zahter Limited (“The Applicant”) for a new premises
licence in respect of 30-32 Foubert’s Place,
London, W1F 7PS.
The Presenting Officer
introduced the application. He advised
that the Licensing Authority had maintained their representation on
policy grounds. The Soho Society had
also made a representation and had proposed conditions to be added
to the licence. The Premises are
located in the West End Ward and in the West End Cumulative Impact
Area.
Mr Jack Spiegler, representing
the Applicant, advised that this was a new premises licence for a
restaurant to operate over basement, ground, first, second and
third floors with an external seating area at street level. The
Sub-Committee heard that the Applicant was seeking to permit late
night refreshments indoors between the hours of 23:00 to 23:30
Monday to Thursday and 23:00 to 00:00 on Friday and
Saturday. It was proposed for the sale
of alcohol (on and off sales) to be permitted between 10:00 to
23:30 Monday to Thursday and 10:00 to 00:00 Friday and Saturday and
12:00 to 22:30 Sundays.
The Sub-Committee noted that
the restaurant would have a capacity for 80 persons, that the chef
currently running Spitalfields kitchen would be managing the
Premises and that the model restaurant condition 66 would be
attached to the licence as per condition 9 recorded
below.
Mr Spiegler advised that the
majority of the proposed conditions had been agreed with the
Responsible Authorities except for two conditions regarding waste
collection and the external seating area which had been proposed by
the Soho Society. He advised that it
was important for the business to be allowed to use the outside
area until 23:00hrs and not have it rendered unusable at 22:00hrs
and that the collection of waste could not take place between
07:00hrs and 21:00hrs as bags of rubbish would have to be brought
through the restaurant whilst customers were dinning. The Sub-Committee noted that there were no
residents living above or on either side of the
Premises.
The Licensing Authority had
maintained their representation on ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an application by
Co-operative Group Food Limited (“The Applicant”) for a
new premises licence in respect of Co-op, 207
Shirland Road, London, W9 2EX.
The Presenting Officer introduced the application. He confirmed that the Environmental Health
Service had withdrawn their representation as conditions had been
agreed with the Applicant. The
Metropolitan Police Force had maintained their representation as
agreement had not been reached regarding two specific
conditions. The Premises were located
in the Harrow Road Ward but not in a Cumulative Impact Area.
Richard Arnot (Solicitor,
representing the Applicant), advised the Sub-Committee that it had
before it an application for a new premises licence. The Sub-Committee heard that the Premises intended
to trade as a convenience store and open seven days a week selling
groceries, sundry items and alcohol for consumption off the
Premises. It was proposed for the sale
of alcohol (off sales) to be permitted between 08:00 to 23:00
Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 22:30 on Sunday. The Sub-Committee further heard that the wording
of two model conditions (conditions 28 and 29) were the only points
of contention between the Applicant and the Police. Mr Arnot advised that the Applicant wished to sell
premium beers and ciders in cans as well as glass bottles and that
the word ‘selection’ should replace the word
‘service’ in the condition so that the revised
condition reads ‘There shall be no self-service
of spirits on the premises, save for spirit mixtures less
than 5.5% ABV’.
Mr Arnot confirmed that bottled spirits would remain located behind
a counter so that customers still needed to be served the bottles
by a shop assistance but that it would enable them to use the self
service checkout tills and this would have the effect of promoting
the licensing objectives in particular the crime and disorder
licensing objective.
PC
Bryan Lewis, representing the Metropolitan Police Service, advised
that
the Police were trying
to prevent street drinking by prohibiting premium beers and ciders
in cans but noted that many premium beers and ciders were now sold
in cans. The Police further noted that
the bottled spirits would remain located behind a counter so
customers could not help themselves. The Sub-Committee was
reassured that the Applicant had proper procedures in place to
ensure that the sale of alcohol could not ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee
considered an application by SMD Concepts Limited (“The
Applicant”) for a new premises licence in respect of
Bombay Bustle, Ground Floor, 29 Maddox Street,
London W1S 2PA.
The Presenting Officer
introduced the application. He advised
that the Premises wished to change the layout of the Premises, vary
conditions 16 and 17 on the premises licence and vary the opening
time and sales of alcohol on Sundays from 11.00 hrs. He further
advised that the Licensing Authority had maintained their
representation on policy grounds. The
Sub-Committee noted that the Premises were located in the
West End Ward and the West End Cumulative Impact Area.
Philip Somarakis, representing
the Applicant, advised that the Sub-Committee had before it an
application for a variation of a premises
licence.
The Sub-Committee heard that the Applicant sought to
change: the layout of the Premises to allow customers to enter/exit
on both ground and basement levels, to vary conditions 16 and 17 to
permit customers to consume alcohol in a designated bar area in the
basement with a capacity of 10 people, to vary the opening hours
and commence sales of alcohol from 11am on Sundays as the Premises
had started offering brunch to customers. The Sub-Committee noted that the Premises were a
fine dining restaurant who wished to open earlier on a Sunday to
offer brunch to its customers with an offer of a glass of champagne
or wine.
Mr Somarakis outlined how the
Premises would be operated and the Sub-Committee noted that all
customers were greeted and directed to the appropriate table/seated
holding bar area on arrival at the Premises. Once at the bar customers would be required to
confirm that they had a table reservation/or make a table
reservation. Mr Somarakis emphasised
that he did not consider that the extra morning opening hour would
add to the West End Cumulative Impact Area as the majority of
overcrowding and public nuisance occurred during the late
evening.
Karyn Abbott, representing the
Licensing Authority, had maintained their representation on policy
grounds as the application was outside of Westminster’s Core
Hours Policy and because the Applicant needed to demonstrate that
they would not add to cumulative impact in the area. The Sub-Committee heard that the Licensing
Authority had visited the Premises, had been greeted on arrival and
had been escorted to the holding bar to confirm ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an application by
Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Limited (“The Applicant”)
for a new premises licence in respect of 39-45
Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W1D 6LA.
The Presenting Officer introduced the application. He advised that this was an application for
a new premises licence for a restaurant, although the Premises
already had a premises licence with licensable activities until
01:00 Monday to Saturday and 00:00 Sundays. He advised that the Licensing
Authority had maintained their representation for the new licence
on policy grounds. The premises
were located in the West End Ward and within the West End
Cumulative Impact Area.
Jack Spiegler, representing the
Applicant, advised that the application was for a new premises
licence for a restaurant with ancillary bar area over ground and
mezzanine floor levels. The
Sub-Committee heard that the Applicant was seeking to reduce the
sale of alcohol to “Core Hours” and that condition 13
of the existing licence would be changed from “holding
bar” to “ancillary bar” with the condition being
amended. The Sub-Committee noted that
the existing premise licence would be surrendered prior to the new
licence taking effect. The
Sub-Committee heard that it was proving difficult for the Applicant
to interest people in the Premises and that incorporating a bar
area for a capacity of 25 people seated, who would mainly be
theatre goers, would encourage a new high-class hospitality
business to operate the Premises. The
Sub-Committee noted that that there was already a bar area
currently operating at the Premises for persons taking a table meal
there and for consumption by such a person as ancillary to their
meal.
Mr Spiegler referred to Policy
HRS1 of the City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy
(“SLP”) and advised that the application be granted
under exceptional circumstances due to the application for hours
being within core hours and that it would reduce Crime and Disorder
or Public Nuisance in the West End Cumulative Impact Area. He
further added that the Premises would still operate as a restaurant
with a capacity of 200 persons and the model restaurant condition
20 attached to the licence except for this very ...
