to:

10:00 to 23:00
Friday to Saturday:
10:00 to 23:30
Sunday: 12:00 to
22:00
The Sub-Committee was
also informed by the applicant that the provision of off-sales had
been withdrawn from the application.
|
|
Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by the Lothbury Property
Trust Ltd (“The Applicant”) for a new premises licence
in respect of Unit 2, 15 Bedford Street,
London, WC2E 9HE.
The Licensing officer
introduced the application.
Mr McCann, representing the
applicant, explained that the entrance to the Premises would be
situated to the side of the building on Bedford Court and not on
Bedford Street. The Sub-Committee was taken through the proposed
layout plans of the Premises. The ground floor consisted solely of
a foyer where customers would be met by a meeter and greeter. They
would then be directed down the stairs to the restaurant area. If
any customers had not made a booking they would be guided to a
holding bar area where they could consume a drink before taking a
meal. The applicant would also be using a specific table booking
app which informed potential customers when a table became
available therefore preventing any queuing from taking place
outside the Premises. Mr McCann then provided an overview of the
current status of the application. When the application had first
been made planning permission had yet to be granted. Planning
permission had subsequently been granted with conditions imposed.
Further conditions had then been offered by the applicant and
following discussions with the Covent Garden Community Association,
Environmental Health (EH) and local residents even further
conditions had been agreed and amended. Mr McCann highlighted that
since the initial application was made it had moved on quite
significantly.
Mr McCann took the
Sub-Committee through the proposed list of ...

Amendments to
application advised at hearing:
The Sub-Committee was
advised by the applicant that the sale by retail of alcohol related
to on and off sales.
|
|
Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by Grosvenor West End
Properties (“The Applicant”) for a new premises licence
in respect of Thirty Eight Grosvenor Square,
Basement, Ground and First Floors, 38 Grosvenor Square, London, W1K
2HW.
The Licensing officer
introduced the application and confirmed that the Police had
withdrawn their representation following the agreement of
conditions with the applicant.
Mr Whur, representing the
applicant, advised the Sub-Committee of the following minor
amendments to the application:
- When the application
was initially submitted an external space had been included in the
area where regulated entertainment was sought. Mr Whur confirmed
that regulated entertainment would now only take place
internally.
- The provision for
indoor sporting events had been withdrawn.
- This was a time
limited application which had received planning permission allowing
the Premises to operate as an event space until 28 February 2022
only.
- The maximum capacity
of 300 persons at the Premises would include staff.
Mr Whur explained that this
Premises was the only one owned by Grosvenor, the applicant, which
was located on Grosvenor Square. It was therefore a significant
property in their portfolio which it was hoped could be used for
vibrant purposes until February 2022. Events held at the Premises
would be operated by a company called Venue Lab who had already
held a number of successful high-end events at the venue under
Temporary Event Notices (TENs). It was acknowledged that
residential concerns had been raised over the application however
it was hoped that the applicant would be able to provide confidence
to them that any events held at the Premises would not negatively
impact on them.
Mr Whur advised that Venue Lab
were highly experienced operators who were one of the largest and
highly regarded companies ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by 8-10 Dover Street
Limited
for a variation of a premises
licence in respect of Mnky Hse, 8-10 Dover
Street, London, W1S 4LF.
The Licensing Officer
introduced the application.
Ms Tricker,
representing the applicant, explained that the Premises operated as
a Latin American restaurant. The application was seeking to extend
the terminal hour for all licensable activities and opening hours
on Sundays only, to bring them in line with the existing permitted
hours Monday to Saturday. The Sub-Committee was advised that
pre-application advice had been sought from Environmental Health
(EH) who had raised no concerns over the proposals and no
objections had also been received from either the Police or local
residents. The sole representation received had been submitted from
the managing agent of 41 Dover Street. Ms Tricker informed the
Sub-Committee that attempts had been made to contact the objector,
but these had proven unsuccessful. The Premises was not located
within a Cumulative Impact Area (CIA) and therefore there was no
presumption to refuse the application. Ms Tricker also advised that
there were sufficient conditions attached to the existing licence
to ensure the front of the Premises was properly managed therefore
addressing any concerns raised over this area.
In response to the
representation received Ms Tricker noted that the objector was not
present before the Sub-Committee to present their representation.
In terms of late night refreshment, the extension in hours sought
would not create any additional litter as condition 32 prevented
takeaway of any hot food or drink from the Premises after 23:00
hours. Concerns also raised over the extension in hours on Sundays
for the sale of alcohol would have no impact as off sales after
23:00 had not been applied for and in any case condition 42
prevented any off sales of ...
