The Chair introduced the Members of the Sub-Committee and outlined the procedure to the Parties in attendance. The Sub-Committee Members confirmed that they had no declarations of interest.

The Presenting Officer, Karyn Abbott, Senior Licensing Officer, introduced the application for a new Premises Licence. She advised that representations had been received from the Environmental Health Service and seven residents and that the Premises was situated within the Harrow Road ward.

Mrs Daria Kriventsova (representing the Applicant Company) outlined the application to the Sub-Committee. She explained that the Premises wished to display and sell a couple of nice bottles of wine and also to serve them to seated customers within the café/deli.  She addressed the representations made from local residents and advised that she had tried to contact them however she had not received any response.  She further advised that she was puzzled regarding the representations against the application as there was a nearby corner shop that sold alcohol from 08:00 to 23:00 hours.  She emphasised that since the café/deli had opened there had been less public nuisance such as public urination and considered that it would not be detrimental to the area if the Sub-Committee granted the application.

In response to questions from the Sub-Committee, Mrs Kriventsovaexplained that they would be selling premium wine from £20 upwards at the café/deli and how they would abide by all the conditions proposed by the Responsible Authorities so as to promote the Licensing Objectives.  She confirmed that she was happy to make her contact details available to residents so they could contact her to discuss any issues.  She advised that she also lived in the area and therefore had an additional interest in keeping the area safe.  She outlined  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.
