Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):

 

The Sub-Committee considered an application by Robinson Webster (Holdings) Ltd for a new premises licence in respect of Second Floor Carriage House, 29 Floral Street, London WC2E 9DP (“The Premises”).

 

The Licensing Officer provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee.

 

Mr Elford, representing Jigsaw (“the Applicant”) described the Premises as providing a modern, high end style of dining.   It was submitted that the ground and first floors are retail spaces shared between Jigsaw and the shop at Bluebird, whilst the second floor has been converted into a 125 cover restaurant.  Mr Elford described the application as being within range and amendments were made to the schedule of proposed conditions on the 21st and 22nd May, resulting in the Metropolitan Police withdrawing its representation.

 

Using the submitted plans Mr Elford advised the Sub-Committee where the location of the entry point for entrance to the store is and where staff would be positioned to escort guests to the restaurant lift. Mr Elford then went on to show the Sub-Committee the plans for the restaurant located on the second floor, highlighting the Bar area (hatched in red on the plan) and the Terrace area, he then welcomed questions from the Sub-Committee.

 

The Sub-Committee requested further clarification from the Applicant as to how the application came within the terms of the policy, with particular emphasis on the Cumulative impact area (CIA).  The Sub-Committee asked if the Applicant would consider a condition regarding consumption  and gave an example, referring to the bar area being open until 20:00 hours  and alcohol consumption ending at 20:00 hours, as detailed in condition 3 of the scheduled of proposed conditions. Mr Elford explained that the restaurant had planning permission to remain open until 22:00 hours and as this was a high end retailer with expensive merchandise, the entrance will be staffed during the restaurants opening hours. There will also be a door bell that guests will use to gain access.

 

The Sub-Committee requested further information on the intended use of the terrace area.  Mr Elford explained that the applicant had planning permission for smoking on the terrace, which would be properly supervised so as not to cause a nuisance.  The conditions in the original freeholder’s application states that it would not cause nuisance.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.
