Summary of Application
This is an application for a variation of a premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). This variation seeks the following:
· To extend the terminal hours for the Sale by Retail of Alcohol & Late-Night Refreshment on Friday & Saturday and on a Sunday immediately before a Bank Holiday from 00:00 to 01:30.
· To extend the opening hours on Friday & Saturday and on a Sunday immediately before a Bank Holiday from 00:30 to 02:00.
Representations Received
· Licensing Authority (LA) · Environmental Health Services (EHS) · Metropolitan Police Services (MPS) · Soho Society · Residents x 2
Issues raised by Objectors.
The LA states the premises are located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone and as such various policy points must be considered, namely CIP1, HRS1 and RNT1 and note that the proposed variation does not fall within Westminster’s core hours for Restaurants:
Monday to Thursday: 9am to 11.30pm. Friday and Saturday: 9am to 12am. Sunday: 9am to 10.30pm. Sundays immediately prior to a bank holiday: 9am to 12am.
The EHS states that a representation is made as the proposal may lead to undermining the licencing objective of Prevention of Public Nuisance.
The MPS states allowing the extension will draw customers to the venue and they will remain in the CIZ rather than dispersing and thus adding to the cumulative impact. The extension may also increase the risk of intoxication and vulnerability of its customers as they disperse from the area.
The residents and Soho Society state granting the application will disturb residents and increase ani-social behaviour. It will also increase rubbish in the area. The applicant has to demonstrate they will not increase cumulative impact and will promote the licensing objectives, they have failed to do so.
Policy Considerations
Policy CIP 1 states:
C. Applications for restaurants within the West End Cumulative Impact Zones will be subject to other policies within this statement and must demonstrate that they will not add to cumulative impact.
D. For the purposes of this policy the premises types referred to in Clause A are defined within the relevant premises use policies within this statement.

There is a resident count of 229.
Application
This is an application for a new premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The premises operates as a Chinese noodle restaurant.
There has been a premises licence for the Premises since at least 2005. The most recent Premises Licence (reference 19/02724/LIPT) lapsed on 11 February 2020. A copy of this lapsed Licence can be seen at Appendix 3 of the Committee bundle.
This application seeks the following:
To Permit:
Late Night Refreshments (Both)
Mondays to Friday 23:00 to 00:30 Sunday 23:00 to 00:00
Sale of Alcohol (on sales)
Monday to Sunday 10:00 to 23:00
Hours Premises Are Open to the Public
Mondays to Sunday 10:00 to 23:00
Representations Received
Issues raised by Objectors.
The EHS states the hours requested to provide late-night refreshment may have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may affect Public Safety within the area and the supply of alcohol and the hours requested may have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may affect Public Safety within the area.
The residents state that the times proposed for closing are not in keeping with the other restaurants and bars on the street. The effect of taxis, smoking outside, saying goodbye after a late night and the music that spills out will inevitably cause distress to the residents.
This is a residential area with a narrow road where the noise bounces around. It would be completely wrong for a late alcohol license to be permitted.
