The Sub-Committee heard from Mr Thomas, representing the
Applicant. He stated that the
application was in three parts.
Firstly, there was the proposed variation of the
layout. The original application
considered by the Licensing Sub-Committee in June 2017 had been
submitted by the landlord, Shaftesbury, prior to the tenant being
known. The variation of the layout
reflected the requirements of the new tenant and included
the reconfiguration of WCs, kitchen and
back-of-house areas and also the removal of the bar
servery. Mr Thomas made the point that
he believed there had been no objection to this aspect of the
application.
The second aspect of the application was the increase of the
proposed hours. Mr Thomas referred to
the proposed hours being in line with those permitted for the
planning permission at the premises. He
also said that the planning permission had taken into account a
full assessment of issues relating to amenity, plant and
dispersal.
Mr Thomas explained that the third aspect of the application was
to reduce the capacity at the premises from 150 to 120 in the event
that the Sub-Committee was minded to grant the
application. He made the point that the
Council’s model restaurant condition, MC66, was included on
the existing premises licence granted by the Licensing
Sub-Committee in June 2017 and that the application continued to
comply with policy RNT2 for a restaurant in the West End Cumulative
Impact Area. The Sub-Committee had
taken cumulative impact into account in granting Core
Hours.
Mr Thomas spoke about the representations from two local
residents who were not in attendance at the hearing. He had written to both residents and had spoken
with the resident who had expressed concerns that an extension to
the hours prior to the restaurant opening was
premature. Mr Thomas drew
Members’ attention to the decision of the Sub-Committee in
June 2017 that there was the option for the Applicant to again seek
the hours originally applied for when an operator was
identified. The hours originally
applied for by Shaftesbury in June had been beyond Core
Hours.
Mr Thomas placed emphasis on the experience of the operator,
including Ms Boland who is the Managing Director of Zuma Ltd (the
parent company) and the Designated Premises Supervisor for Inko
Nito. Ms ...

Decision (including reasons if

|
|
|
The Sub-Committee
heard from Mr Thomas and Mr Gonzalez about the intended operation
at Mariage Freres. There had been a
significant refurbishment of the premises that had previously been
The Africa Centre. Capital &
Counties Properties PLC is the landlord and Mr Thomas made
the point that they have 24 hour security and CCTV covering this
area.
Mr Gonzalez explained
that the concept was that ingredients were tea based and were
healthy. There were more than 900
blends of tea from 60 different countries. Blends were used to create a recipe, including
desserts. Food was required to match
the tea based products.
Mr Thomas stated that
alcohol was not a significant part of the operation with the main
use being retail. Mr Thomas and Mr
Gonzalez clarified that on the ground floor there would be a retail
space with sales of tea (including a tea wall with the 900 blends)
and pastries for takeaway. The only
alcohol sold on the ground floor would be for consumption off the
premises in sealed containers. The plan
was to sell champagne with infused syrup of tea to flavour
it. There would be alcoholic products
sold other than champagne. It was not intended to sell beer or
whisky as off sales. There would be an
emphasis on the tea based products. It
would be necessary to go up the stairs through the retail area in
order to obtain sales of alcohol for consumption on the
premises. Access to on sales could not
be made directly from the street. There
would be staff on the ground floor.
Mr Thomas confirmed
that the first floor would be the tea room. There would be a maximum capacity of 100 on the
first floor excluding staff. After
20:00 alcohol would be ancillary to a table meal with customers
being seated and served by waiter or waitress service until Mariage
Freres closed at 23:00. Mr Thomas made
the point that whilst it was possible to have an alcoholic drink
prior to 20:00 without it being ancillary to a table meal, it was
expected that a large percentage of customers would still be having
a meal. Alcohol would not be
predominant. Mr Gonzalez added that the
emphasis was on afternoon tea and tea based cuisine, competing with
the hotels in London who provide the ...
