Issues raised by Objectors.
The Licensing Authority (LA) states:
The premises is located within the West End Cumulative Impact Area and as such various policy points must be considered, namely CIP1, HSR1 and FFP1.
At present, the operating hours applied for Late Night refreshment currently fall outside of Westminster’s core hours under Policy HRS1. The Licensing Authority encourages the applicant reduces the hours to be within Westminster’s Core hours:
Monday to Thursday: 10am to 11.30pm. Friday and Saturday: 10am to Midnight. Sunday: Midday to 10.30pm. Sundays immediately prior to a bank holiday: Midday to Midnight.
The EHO states:
The granting of this application as presented would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may also impact on Public Safety in the West End CIZ.
The applicant has provided additional information which is being considered. Additional Environmental Health conditions may be proposed to uphold the licensing objectives.
MPS states:
The Police submit that, if granted, the premises would undermine the licensing objective ‘The Prevention of Crime and Disorder’, as well as adversely affect cumulative impact within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone (“WECIZ”).
The applicant will need to demonstrate that they will not add to cumulative impact within the WECIZ. As the application currently stands, the Police do not feel that this has been achieved.
Comments from Planning Enforcement Appendix 4
The planning enforcement department currently have an open case regarding the change of use of the premises from a class E retail unit to a hot food takeaway and an Illuminated signage has also been installed. City Council records indicate no approval has been obtained for the change of use or advertising. There have also been complaints about the smell of the
