Monday to Sunday 08:00 to 01:00 hours

Representations Received

•           Metropolitan Police Service

•           Environmental Health Service

•           12 Local Residents

Summary of issues raised by Residents:

•           The kitchen for this establishment does not have adequate mitigation measures for the filtration of smells emanating from within. A large number of local residents are currently unable to open their windows due to an overpowering smell of frying food, which often lingers until late into the night. Numerous residents have complained about this, yet nothing is done. Extending the business’ trading hours will result in residents being exposed to these smells until the early hours, which is unacceptable.

•           The current extractor system for this business (although ineffective, as noted above) is incredibly loud and causes a significant noise nuisance to residents such as myself, and can be heard by residents living on Harrow Road, Chippenham Road and Chippenham Mews. I cannot leave my windows open at night, as the noise is so loud that it stops me from being able to sleep.

•           The business attracts a large number of delivery riders well into the early hours. There have been numerous incidents of couriers creating noise nuisances on the surrounding streets, as well as urinating (or worse) on the doorsteps of residents of both Chippenham Road and Chippenham Mews.

•           No local residents wishes to stifle business during these difficult precedent, if this business was allowed to operate under extended trading hours, and would have significant, detrimental impact on the life of the local residents, such as myself. Unfortunately, I do not believe there to be any acceptable mitigations other than limiting operating hours in this instance, as the business management do not appear to wish to engage with local residents to improve the situation.

•           I would ask the licensing committee please to take into account the voice of residents such as myself. I would also note that most residents have a very good relationship with the other food preparation businesses nearby, who have made significant effort to mitigate the impact of their businesses and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3a

Representations Received

•           John Zamit Chairman of SEBRA

Summary of issues raised by SEBRA

•           “The South East Bayswater Residents Association (SEBRA) welcomes back the Le Pain Quotidien business to Kendal Street. We note that they have applied for a new Premises License and are please note many of conditions on previous licence on these premises have been incorporated in this application. However we object that there is no condition that alcohol should be ancillary to a table meal and this was on the previous Premises under Condition 14.

•           We also would like a condition controlling the hours of refuse & recycling collections and suggest no collections between 0700 and 2000. We also note that commencement of sale of alcohol on Sunday is 11.00, not the usual 12.00 but is the 11.00 to cover "off sales' with sales inside to be from 12.00 to match WCC Core Hours Policy

•           We believe these additional conditions are required in order to control any nuisance in the area, which is predominantly residential with flats above the premises. In connection with reference to the outside tables and chairs, we could not see a plan and not clear if private or public but we note conditions to control their use. We are content for our representation and contact details to be sent to applicant.

•           As always, SEBRA is willing to discuss this application with the applicant and/or their agent, with a view to resolving our concerns and hopefully avoiding the need to have a Licensing Committee hearing”.

Policy Position

There is no policy to refuse this application (as the Premises was not situated in a Cumulative Impact Area).  The application must, therefore, be determined on merit. Policies HRS1 and PB1 apply.
