SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS

 

The Presenting Officer, Jessica Donavan, Senior Licensing Officer, introduced the application to the Sub-Committee. 

 

Ms Lunara Bramley-Fenton (CRG London Ltd) outlined the application along with Mr Iskandarbek Narzibekov (CRG London Ltd).  She advised that the Applicant seeks to increase the seating space capacity from 100 covers to 120 covers, to add 6 more seats to the bar area, increasing from 6 to 12 seats in total and to change the Storage Room and Staff Room into additional Private Dining Rooms which would accommodate 8 seats and 6 seats retrospectively.  She highlighted the stringent conditions already attached to the Premises Licence and that patrons could only obtain alcohol ancillary to a table meal except for in the very limited bar area where patrons could purchase a drink before or after their meal at the restaurant.  She emphasised that the bar area was not just a bar; it was in the middle of the establishment and that operationally it did not make sense to have a bar where people were drinking whilst others were sitting down and enjoying their dinner.

 

Ms Bramley-Fenton advised that Pachamama had a reputation for being one of the best Peruvian restaurants in London and had been operating for nine years.  She outlined that each seat at the bar was set up with a food place setting with a plate, a napkin, cutlery and a water  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.

Issues raised by Objectors

 

EHS: The supply of alcohol for the hours requested may have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may affect Public Safety

 

MPS: The proposed extension of licensable activities is likely to undermine the licensing objectives. The hours sought exceed the Council’s Core Hours policy.

 

Local Residents:

Very residential area.

Increase in public nuisance and noise.

Increase in anti-social behaviour.

 

Policy Considerations

 

Policies HRS1, SHP1 and DEL1 apply.
