Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
This was an application to
vary the premises licence by adding conditions to permit the supply
of alcohol to customers without it being ancillary to a meal in the
hatched area for up to 20 persons as set out in plans until 20:00
and to extend the terminal hour for the supply of alcohol ancillary
to a substantial meal to 21:30. Mr Baylis, the Solicitor
representing the Applicant Company, began by confirming that the
premises had been granted a premises licence on 3rd
September 2015 and operated as a Starbucks ‘Reserve’
brand coffee shop. The Reserve brand was the first of its type to
open in the UK and specialised in providing fine quality coffees.
Mr Baylis explained that customers were greeted by staff at the
premises’ entrance and then led to a table, where their food
and drink was brought to them by waiting staff. Members heard that
the Reserve brand had been launched in the USA as there had been
demand from some customers to be able to consume alcohol in the
coffee shops. Mr Baylis stated that the Orion House premises had
operated for 9 months with a premises licence that permitted supply
of alcohol without any problems. The Applicant Company had
submitted a variation to take the opportunity of the
Council’s relaxation in its revised Statement of Licensing
Policy that had taken effect on 7 January 2016 for premises wishing
to supply alcohol that were neither pubs, bars or restaurants as
defined by the Council’s policy. Mr Baylis added that alcohol
sales on the premises were, however, low.
Mr Baylis then addressed the
representation submitted by the local resident. In respect of
concerns raised in the representation on deliveries and
collections, Mr Baylis stated that all deliveries took place
between 15:00 to 18:00 hours, whilst all collections took place
after 08:00. He suggested that the local resident
had confused the premises deliveries and collections with those of
The Ivy restaurant nearby. On behalf of the Applicant Company, Mr
Baylis indicated that they would be content to reduce the capacity
of the number of people permitted to consume alcohol without food
in the hatched area as set out in the plan from 20 to 10 persons.
He added that the ...
