The Applicant submitted a written submission at pages 3-7 of the additional papers together with an Operational Management Statement supplied at pages 21-28 of the Main Report which were considered by the Sub-Committee
The Premises have had the benefit of a licence (16/09788/LIPDPS) from 2016. The Applicant wishes to vary the licence as follows: -

Representations received
· Metropolitan Police (PC Nicole Sondh) (Withdrawn) · Environmental Health (Anil Drayan) · Mr P Banda 76 Jermyn St London SW1Y 6NP · Mr P Gibson 76 Jermyn St London SW1Y 6NP (Withdrawn) · Mr J Woods 3, 37 Duke Street St.James's, SW1Y 6DF (Withdrawn) · Mr D Mason O.B.E. 17 Duke Street, St James's London SW1Y 6DB (Withdrawn)
Summary of issues raised by objectors
· The proposed extension in hours for the licensable activities requested may lead to an increase in Public Nuisance in the area. · The restaurant is located amongst the highest density of residential dwellings in the area, including being effectively attached to the side of a block containing 23 residential units. During the short time Maison Francois has been opened, there has been numerous late-night congregations between their patrons, with no security to monitor noise levels or stop the pavement being used to discard cigarettes. On the parallel road; Bury street, there have been years of issues with Quaglino's regarding litter, noise levels and using a private residential car park as a meeting point. It seems unnecessary and undesirable to further disturb residential neighbours in the immediate area. · Whether required or not, the restaurant has made no private attempt to engage with neighbours, nor provided any supporting documents regarding traffic management or ... view the full minutes text for item 1. |

Summary of Application
This is an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises will be stocked with convenience goods including alcohol for packaging to fulfil customer orders made online or via an App. There is a resident count of 267 within the immediate area.

There are no seasonal variations
Representations received
· Metropolitan Police (PC Nicole Sondh) Withdrawn · Environmental Health (Anil Drayan) Withdrawn · Mr Shaun Dyos 75 Bravington Rd London W9 3AA
Summary of issues raised by objectors
· The Supply of Alcohol and for the hours requested may have the effect of increasing Public Nuisance in the area. · Taking into consideration the licensing objectives in the Prevention of Crime and Disorder and in the Protection of Children from Harm, the Metropolitan Police are making a representation against this application as there is insufficient information in the operating schedule. Furthermore, the hours applied for are out of the core hours listed in the Westminster Licensing Policy. · How much traffic does an alcohol delivery service running 16 hours a day/night create? The delivery routes going north from the address run through residential streets, at the moment it's quiet at night and possible to get a good night’s sleep there isn't much traffic. If hundreds of moped journeys are routed through this area on deliveries it will change the character and liveability of the area that has for the last 25 years been a peaceful place to live.
Policy Position
Policies HRS1 and OS1 of the City of Westminster Statement of Licensing Policy apply.
