Summary of Application

The Premises intends to operate as a Russian and Eastern European grocery store. The Premises is located within the Lancaster Gate Ward and the Queensway/Bayswater Special Consideration Zone.
The premises had the benefit of a premises licence (13/03218/LIDPSR) which was granted in September 2005 and revoked in February 2021 following a Review hearing. This can be found at Appendix 4 of the Report. Submissions have been received by the Metropolitan Police Service in relation to the Review which can be found at Appendix 3 of the Report. The Applicant has provided submissions addressing the relevant spatial policies and a letter to interested parties which can be found at Appendix 2.
Representations Received
· Metropolitan Police Force (withdrew on the 2 February as the Applicant had agreed to all their proposed conditions) · Environmental Health Service – Maxwell Koduah · 5 Local Residents (Objectors) (after mediation one objector withdraw their representation). · 1 Local Resident (Supporter) · South East Bayswater Residents Association (SEBRA) (Represented by Richard Brown, from Westminster Citizens Advice Bureau) and John Zamit, Chairman of SEBRA. Summary of Representations
· The Environmental Health Service have made a representation in relation to the application as the proposals are likely to increase the risk of Public Nuisance and may impact upon Public Safety.
· Concerns from local residents were raised regarding the number of licensed Premises in the area. There were already three pubs across the road and within adjacent blocks, which fuel neighbourhood disturbances and anti-social behaviour.
· These premises have a history of problems resulting in a Review and subsequent closure.
Policy Considerations
SCZ1 · In addition to meeting the other policies within this statement, applications within a designated Special Consideration Zone should demonstrate that they have taken account of the issues particular to the Zone, in question as identified within the 2020 Cumulative Impact Assessment, and should set out any proposed mitigation measures in relation to those issues within ... view the full minutes text for item 2. |

The Premises is located within the St James’s Ward.
The Premises has had the benefit of a Premises Licence since 2013. The current Premises Licence (16/07810/LIPT) can be seen at Appendix 3 of the Committee Report along with the Premises history. There are no supporting documents from the Applicant.
Representations Received
· Environmental Health Service – Dave Nevitt · 10 Interested Parties (Objectors) – Nancy Stockmeyer and Christine Goldsmith. Christine will be calling John Ougan as a witness. Richard Brown, Licensing Lawyer, Citizens Advice Bureau
Summary of Representations
The Environmental Health Service have made a representation in relation to the application as the proposals are likely to increase the risk of Public Nuisance and may impact upon Public Safety.
Concerns from local residents and local business were raised regarding the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety and the prevention of public nuisance.
Local Businesses were concerned that a Tesco Store would kill of their trade and ruin the market especially with the lack of customers due to the pandemic.
Local residents maintained their representations, raising concerns regarding the number of Tesco stores already in the area where it was easy to purchase cheap alcohol, additional noise, extra traffic including the noise of deliveries and litter. Local residents advised that Strutton Ground was largely residential with flats above the commercial Premises at street level and that whilst there is a street market during the day, the street was usually quiet by 5pm and Sundays were peaceful. The proposed Tesco store could attract drinkers who might congregate in Strutton Ground and its immediate area, thereby creating a nuisance for residents. The hours for the sale of alcohol seems unreasonably long and the provision for indoor refreshment late at night risks a noisy exit at midnight.

Representations Received
· Metropolitan Police Force (withdrew on 21st November 2021 following agreement of additional conditions to be added to the Premises Licence). · Environmental Health Service – Ian Watson · 1 Local Resident (Opposing the application)
Summary of Representations
· The Environmental Health Service have made a representation in relation to the application as the additional hours requested for licensable activities will have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance within the Victoria Special Consideration Zone.
· The local resident advises that: Any extension at all of Flight Club's opening hours would be grossly unfair to the 300 residents of the Nova Building and will adversely impact their lives and will cause them considerable distress due to the increase in anti-social behaviour late at night with intoxicated customers congregating outside of these premises
