· Metropolitan Police (Tom Stewart) (MPS) · Environmental Health Service (Maxwell Koduah) (EHS) · Licensing Authority (Jessica Donovan)
Summary of Objections
Representations were received from the Metropolitan Police Service (“MPS”) the Environmental Health Service (“EHS”) and the Licensing Authority.

Representations Received
· Metropolitan Police (Tom Stewart) · Licensing Authority (Jessica Donovan) · Lester Waters (Flat 24, 63 St. Martins Lane WC2N 4JS)
Summary of Objections
Representations were received from the Metropolitan Police Service (“MPS”) the Licensing Authority and one local resident.
The MPS object to the application on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder. The Premises is located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone and it is likely that if a permanent extension is granted, then this would add to the cumulative impact in the area.
The Licensing Authority note that the application falls within the PB1 policy and the applicant will have to demonstrate exceptional circumstances to allow to depart from Policy and that the hours fall outside of core hours for pubs and bars.
The resident objector in support of the application states “This change to remove the two year restriction (Condition 50) is acceptable provided the character of the Premises does not change (Condition 49 is retained). The venue has done a good job keeping the noise abated”.
