Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
Shannon Pring (Presenting
Officer) confirmed that Environmental Health and the Police had
withdrawn their representations following agreement of conditions
with the Applicant Company.
Daniel Mansell (Barrister,
representing the Applicant Company) began by stating that the
premises had operated over the last 2 years predominantly as a
takeaway with a small number of seats available for sit down meals.
The Applicant Company now intended to operate the premises as a
small restaurant with 17 covers. It was proposed to offer alcohol
which would be served by waiter/waitress service only to customers
and would be ancillary to food and no consumption of alcohol would
be permitted outside. Mr Mansell stated that Yuya Kikuchi, the
Director of the Applicant Company, would be present on the premises
at all times it was open and was the chef. Mr Kikuchi was respected
in the food industry and had received a 4 star rating in a Time Out
magazine review.
Mr Mansell stated that the
premises was a quiet venue and the application was well within core
hours. No children would be permitted on the premises and a
Challenge 25 policy would be adhered to. No taxis would be
permitted to wait for customers outside and signage would be
displayed reminding customers to be quiet when they left the
premises. Mr Mansell advised that the premises had also operated
under a number of temporary event notices (TENs) without any
concerns being raised by Environmental Health and the Police.
Although the premises was in a cumulative impact area, he did not
think it would add to cumulative impact due to the nature of the
premises as a small restaurant operating within core hours. There
were also stringent conditions proposed to assist the Applicant
Company in upholding the licensing objectives.
Mr Mansell then referred to the
matters raised in the local resident’s written representation
and refuted the claims that had been made. In respect of a premises
previously operated by the Applicant Company, 47 Rupert Street, no
issues had arisen and the premises had not operated contrary to any
planning regulations. The current premises had not operated late as
a bar and Mr Mansell suggested that the local resident may have
confused this with when the premises was operating under TENs. Mrs
Kikuchi, the designated premises supervisor, would be on the

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
Shannon Pring (Presenting
Officer) confirmed that in addition to the Police’s earlier
withdrawal, Enviromental Health had also subsequently withdrawn
their representation after both responsible authorities concerned
had agreed conditions with the Applicant.
Peter Mayhew (Agent,
representing the Applicant Company) began by
stating that the premises currently operated as coffee
bar/restaurant offering speciality, high end coffees and a small
food menu. The Applicant Company’s intention was to extend
the food offer and include sale of alcohol, whilst also extending
the hours of operation. Mr Mayhew
stated that there were no proposals for late night refreshment or
regulated entertainment. The application had initially sought an
earlier commencement hour for the sale of alcohol at weekends,
however this had now been amended so that all hours applied for
were within core hours. Mr Mayhew advised that the hours for the
sale of alcohol had been revised following discussions with the
Police and John Zamit who was representing Bayswater Residents’ Association (BRA) and South East
Bayswater Residents’ Association (SEBRA). The Applicant had
also agreed 7 conditions with the Police. Mr Mayhew informed
Members that Dave Nevitt from Environmental Health had initially
raised a few concerns when visiting the premises, however he was
now satisfied with the proposals. Positive discussions with Mr
Zamit had also taken place and 2 conditions relating to deliveries
and collection of waste and recycling had been proposed following
these.
Mr Mayhew stated that
correspondence with Daisy Gadd (Licensing Authority) had taken
place and the Applicant Company had addressed her concerns about
the application not being within core hours by amending it
accordingly. There had also been discussions with the Licensing
Authority concerning their request to include the model restaurant
condition 66 on the premises licence. Mr Mayhew stated that the
model restaurant condition was not desired by the Applicant Company
as it would not allow them to operate the premises’ principal
activity as a coffee bar during the daytime. He suggested that
proposed model conditions 38 and 39 restricting the consumption of
alcohol to be ancillary to a meal and to be supplied by waiter or
waitress service only would be sufficient and ensure the premises
would not be drinks led and satisfy the City Council’s
restaurant policy in its Statement of Licensing ...

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
Prior to proceedings
commencing, Craig Baylis (Solicitor, representing the Applicant
Company) agreed on behalf of the Applicant Company to the
Chairman’s suggestion that the applications for the Ground
and First Floors, 1 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BD and Second
Floor, 1 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BD be considered together as
it involved the same Applicant Company on the same site.
Michelle Steward (Presenting
Officer) confirmed that Environmental Health had withdrawn their
representations for both of the above applications after agreeing
conditions with the Applicant Company.
Mr Baylis began by informing
the Sub-Committee that The Crown Estate owned all the properties in
Heddon Street and its intention was to redevelop the area to be
more upmarket and there would be a focus on restaurants as opposed
to bars. He advised that 1 Heddon Street was to become a serviced
office desk space for 365 office workers and would operate in a
similar way to the ‘We Work’ model.
Turning to the first
application, Ground and First Floors, 1 Heddon Street, he advised
that it was to operate as a café principally for the office
workers in 1 Heddon Street, although it would also be accessible to
the public. The Applicant Company had held useful discussions with
Environmental Health who had withdrawn their representations after
agreement had been reached on conditions. Mr Baylis stated that the
alcohol offer was limited and ancillary to food. In respect of the
Licensing Authority’s request that proposed condition 25 in
the report stating that the supply of alcohol shall be by waiter or
waitress service only, Mr Baylis contended that this was
unnecessary as all alcohol would be served by staff to customers
and staff would monitor the premises whilst customers consumed what
they had purchased.
Mr Baylis then presented the
second application, Second Floor, 1 Heddon Street and stated that
the intention was for this to operate as a separate function space
that could only be accessed by the office workers of 1 Heddon
Street and their bona fide guests and not for public access. He
indicated on behalf of the Applicant Company that he would be happy
for an appropriately worded condition to be added to restrict this
use thus. The booking of the function space would be undertaken via
an app that was only accessible to the office workers of 1 Heddon
Street. Mr Baylis stated that ...
