Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Variation of a Premises

under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of Burger & Lobster 29 Clarges Street London W1J 7EF (“The Premises”). The Premises operates as a restaurant.  Burger & Lobster Restaurant Group Ltd are the Premises Licence Holder (“PLH”).

 

The Premises had the benefit of a premises licence from 2005 until the licence was surrendered in 2007. A new premises licence was granted in 2009. The current premises licence (17/06132/LIPDPS) can be viewed at Appendix 2 of the agenda report along with the history which appears at Appendix 3.

 

The Premises are located within the West End Ward. Neither the West End Cumulative Impact Zone nor Special Consideration Zone applies. There is no policy presumption to refuse the application, provided the PLH can demonstrate that the application will not undermine the licensing objectives.  

 

The Variation seeks the following:

 

        To amend conditions 9, 10 and 11 on the existing premises licence. Full details can be seen at 1-D and Appendix 4 and are detailed below:-

 

Condition 9 reads:

 

No drinks shall be consumed outside the premises nor glasses/bottles

removed from the premises by patrons when leaving.

 

Condition 10 reads:

 

No tables and chairs for public use shall be provided outside the premises.

 

Condition 11 reads:

 

All windows and external doors shall be kept closed except for the immediate

access and egress of persons.

Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Variation of a Premises

under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of Carlotta 77 Marylebone High

Street London W1U 5JX (“The Premises”). The Premises operates as a high-end

Italian restaurant and was granted a Premises Licence in September 2022 under

licensing reference 23/0287/LIPRW.  Big Mamma Holdings Limited are the Premises

Licence Holder (“PLH”). The PLH is returning to the Sub-Committee as their initial

application did not grant Westminster’s core hours. The PLH is therefore seeking to

extend opening hours and the terminal hour for the Supply of Alcohol both ‘On’ and

‘Off’ the Premises Monday to Thursday from 23:00 hours to 23:30 hours, Friday and

Saturday from 23:00 to 00:00 and Sundays from 22:00 to 22:30 hour. The activities

and hours are as per the Premises Licence.

 

The Premises are located within the Marylebone Ward but not located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone or any Special Consideration Zone. There is no policy presumption to refuse the application. The matter was assessed on its individual merits having regard to the evidence before the Licensing Sub-Committee and the promotion of the licensing objectives

 

Representations were received from the Environmental Health Service (EHS) (withdrawn) and the Local Ward Councillors. These objections cite public nuisance issues.

 

There is a resident count of 249.

 

Representations received

 

·       Environmental Health Service (Kudzaishe Mondhlani) (Withdrawn)

·       Councillor Karen Scarborough

 

Summary of issues raised by objectors

 

·       An increase of hours for the supply of alcohol will have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance. The application will be assessed upon a site visit and additional EH conditions may be proposed to uphold the licensing objectives. After being satisfied with the application Environmental Health withdrew their objection on 11th May 2023.

·       On behalf of the Marylebone Ward Councillors, I am writing to object to the proposed variation, as it will not support the Licensing Objectives, namely Prevention of Public Nuisance & Safety, Crime and Disorder and Protection of Children from Harm. This is a new business to Marylebone and now a softly softly "creep" in hours as they have only recently applied for and been granted a new premises licence and therefore have no track record of operating in this area which is highly residential. In fact, it is very disappointing that in spite of them liaising with Marylebone Councillors on their initial application and that they accepted the conditions and hours that were proposed to protect our resident, they are now seeking a variation. Therefore, we object  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
