Summary of Application

 

The Committee has determined an application for a variation of a premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises operates as a Members only restaurant and nightclub and situated within the West End Ward. The Premises have had the benefit of a licence since 2009 (19/15018/LIPV) The Applicant seeks to vary the licence as follows: -

 

  • To extend the provision for regulated entertainment indoors (to include plays, films, live music, recorded music, performance of dance and anything similar) to the proposed hours of Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 06:00 the following morning.

 

  • To extend the sale of alcohol on and off the premises to the proposed hours of Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 06:00 the following morning.

 

  • To extend the provision for late night refreshment indoors to the proposed hours of Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 06:00 the following morning.

 

  • The opening hours of the premises will be Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 06:30 the following morning.

 

  • To remove conditions, 17, 20, 37,44 and 45 which are taken from premises licence 19/08094/LIPV relating to occupancy of the premises, provision of substantial food and private pre-booked events and prohibition of off sales

 

The Committee noted that the Applicant had met with the Responsible Authorities prior to the hearing and in light of those discussions amended the application as follows:-

 

  • The variation as to hours remains unchanged.

 

  • Condition 17 is to be amended to read “the number of persons accommodated (excluding staff) at any one time shall not exceed:

 

Basement - 198

Ground Floor – 213

 

  • Condition 20 is no longer to be removed so there is still the requirement to make substantial food available at the premises.

 

  • Condition 37 is to be read “there shall be no entry or re-entry to the premises (except for smokers and staff) after 04:30, except the management may permit after 04:30 a maximum of 15 persons who have pre-booked entry and provided their details in advance (but still ensuring the premises capacity is not exceed). Details of those persons to be retained for 7 days and to be kept for police inspection.”

 

Conditions 44 and 45  are no longer on the licence following an earlier variation.
