Case Summary

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of Petite Café London 102 Great Portland Street London W1W 6PD (“The Premises”).  The Premises intends to operate as a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 

The Premises previously benefitted from a premises licence (20/11994/LIPN), but the licence lapsed due to the Licence Holder dissolving in January 2023. The premises history can be found at Appendix 3 of the agenda report.

 

The Applicant has provided a Noise Assessment Report, Kitchen Odour Assessment and a leaflet with the kitchen extractor. These can be found at Appendix 2 of the report.

 

On original submission of the application, the Applicant applied for the following.

 

·       Late Night Refreshment

Monday to Sunday 23:00 to 00:30

 

·       Retail Sale of Alcohol

Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 00:30

 

·       Opening Hours

Monday to Sunday 07:00 to 00:30

 

The Applicant withdrew Late Night Refreshment and since reduced the hours for the Sale by Retail of Alcohol which are reflected in section 1-B of the report. The Applicant agreed a number of conditions with the Metropolitan Police Service and Environmental Health Service to form part of their operating schedule. These can be found at Appendix 4 of the report.

 

The Premises are located within the West End Ward but do not fall either within the West End CIZ or SCZ.  There is no policy presumption to refuse applications for a restaurant premises outside of the West End CIZ provided they do not undermine the licensing objectives. The matter was assessed on its individual merits having regard to the evidence before the Licensing Sub-Committee and the promotion of the licensing objectives.

 

Representations were received from the Metropolitan Police Service (Withdrawn), Environmental Health Service and 3 local residents two of which have now withdrawn their objections. The remaining objection cites concerns regarding public nuisance.  EHS cite concerns regarding Public Safety also.

 

There is a resident count of 288.
