Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by Mr Ahmad Chahine
(“The Applicant”) for a new premises licence in respect
of 1 Irving Street, London, WC2H
7AT.
The Licensing officer
introduced the application and confirmed that the Police had
withdrawn their representation following the agreement of
conditions with the Applicant.
Mr Beller, a local resident, requested that additional
photos of the Premises be circulated. The Applicant objected to
this late submission but the
Sub-Committee was of the opinion that they were relevant to the
application and could be circulated to all parties. Mr Beller requested that the application be adjourned
on the grounds that he had not been served the relevant notice of

merits. The Legal Adviser to the Sub-Committee stated that planning
and licensing were separate regimes. However, the Sub-Committee had
to have regard to the recent tables and chairs planning application
submitted for the external area which was refused by the City
Council’s Planning Department in terms of its impact on the
public nuisance licensing objective.
Mr Hopkins explained that the
Applicant had obtained the lease for 1 Irving Street which was a
very small Premises with a maximum number of 40 covers. It would
operate as a bistro with the full Model 66 restaurant condition to
be imposed on the licence requiring the supply of alcohol to be
