Decision (including reasons if

|
|
Mr Antonio
Motisi (Company Director, Applicant
Company) addressed the Sub-Committee and advised that the Applicant
Company had operated at the premises for 10 years. Coffee accounted
for around 60% of total sales. However, the increased costs
involved in operating the premises had led the Applicant Company to
consider additional streams of income, as well as increasing the
customer offer. It was considered that the sale of alcohol would
achieve both these objectives and increase the customer base. Mr
Motisi confirmed that no additional
hours were sought and all alcohol consumption on the premises would
be ancillary to a seated table meal.
The Sub-Committee was
advised that the resident objecting to the application had not
responded to attempts by the Licensing Service and the Applicant
Company to contact him to discuss the matter. The Sub-Committee did
have regard to the objections that he had made but was satisfied
that the conditions agreed with the responsible authorities fully
addressed the concerns that had been raised.
The Sub-Committee
granted the application. In determining the application, the
Sub-Committee noted that Environmental Health and the Metropolitan
Police had withdrawn their representations following agreement of
conditions with the Applicant Company. In addition, the hours
applied for were well within core hours and the premises was not located in a cumulative impact
area. The Sub-Committee also noted that all alcohol consumption at
the premises (including consumption in the external areas) would be
ancillary to a seated table meal and that all supplies of alcohol
would be by aiter or waitress service.
In granting the application, the Sub-Committee considered that the
conditions agreed would assist the Applicant Company
in upholding the promotion of the licensing objectives
(prevention of crime and
disorder, prevention of public nuisance, public safety, and
protection of children from harm).

Layout alteration
|
|
The premises has undergone
a refurbishment and new plans have been produced.
The main changes are re-orientation of the stage and performance
spaces, slight reduction in mezzanine floor and bar on mezzanine to
facilitate better customer viewing of the shows (with
reconfiguration of all the seating).

Amendments to application
advised at hearing:

|
Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
|
Ms Lana Tricker
(Solicitor, representing the Applicant Company) began by confirming
that there had been no objections to the proposed layout
alterations and Environmental Health had withdrawn their
representation. No overall increase in capacity was proposed and
the Applicant Company had agreed with Environmental Health and the
District Surveyor that the number of persons (excluding staff) at
any one time should be 140 persons for the mezzanine, 300 persons
for the basement auditorium and an overall maximum capacity of 400
persons. Ms Tricker referred to the number of conditions that had
been added to the premises licence following a review hearing in
January 2017 under the previous operator. She advised that the
Applicant Company had met with the Metropolitan Police to discuss
the premises before the Applicant Company had purchased the lease
and acquired the premises licence from the previous operator in
April 2017. The Applicant Company had secured the agreement of the
previous operator to withdraw their appeal against the outcome of
the January 2017 review as part of the terms in taking over the
premises. Ms Tricker advised that the Applicant Company had no
connections with the previous operator and written assurances had
been provided to the Metropolitan Police to confirm
this.
Turning to how the
Applicant Company intended to operate the premises, Ms Tricker
stated that it was intended to provide entertainment performances
at 00:30, 01:30 and 02:30 hours, with the premises opening to the
public from 21:00. She then introduced Mr Asher Amis (Owner,
Applicant Company) to expand upon how the premises would
operate.
Mr Amis began by
stating that he had known the site for a number of years and he
felt that it had yet to fulfil its potential. As the premises
contained high ceilings and was located close to the West
End’s Theatreland, it was ideally placed to hold
performances. Mr Amis felt that there was an appetite for the
cabaret style entertainment that was proposed, which would be
complemented by table service to customers. He added that show
directors, choreographers and producers would be employed to create
and produce the ...
