Summary of Representations Received

 

·       There is an increase of anti-social behaviour in the W25HA area of Harrow Road. There are already too many off licences in the area, so please do not allow another shop to sell. The sale of Alcohol should not be increased in our area residential area, there are primary schools, secondary schools and households close by. We often see drunk people, hooded gangs approaching or taking school aged children's mobile phones. Alcohol drinkers often throw their bottles on the floor, in the street living pieces of glass everywhere. The police has been called on numerous occasions and fail to control the escalating problems from alcohol consumers. These are honest and real concerns and risks , we residents of Oldbury House and around the area have to endure every single day.

Application for a Review of Premises Licence in respect of Sunny Corner 353 Harrow Road London W9 3NA 24/06528LIREVP

 

Case Summary

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Review of a Premises Licence at Sunny Corner 353 Harrow Road London W9 3NA (“The Premises”) under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises currently trade as an off licence and convenience store.

 

The Premises Licence Holder (“PLH”) and Designated Premises Supervisor (“DPS”) is Paranjeet- Singh Grover under licence number 24/05746/LIPVM. The Premises are within the Harrow Road Ward but not located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone. There is a resident count of 301.

 

An application was submitted by the Licensing Authority for a review of the Premises and received on 18 October 2024 on the grounds of the Prevention of Crime and Disorder, Public Safety and the Prevention of Public Nuisance. A copy of the application form appears at Appendix 1 of the Agenda Report.

 

The Premises were granted a Premises Licence by the Licensing Sub Committee in June 2024. At the time of submission, the premises licence number was 24/01504/LIPN. A minor variation has since been granted in respect of a change of layout at the Premises. A copy of the updated Premises Licence (24/05746/LIPVM) can be seen at Appendix 3.

 

Since the grant of the licence the relevant enforcement officer for the area has received numerous reports that the PLH is not complying with the terminal hour and conditions attached to the Premises Licence.

 

 

These are as follows:-

 

• On Tuesday 16 July 2024 and Saturday 20 July 2024 test purchases made at Sunny’s Corner 353 Harrow Road, London W9 where both transactions were outside the 23:00 prescribed hours for licenced activity. Items of alcohol purchased on both dates has been submitted as evidence and prosecution proceedings are underway under Section 136 of the Licensing Act 2003.

 

• On 16 July 2024 at 23:55 hours a City Inspector entered Sunny Corner shop 353 Harrow Road, London W9, and walked to the front of the shop where a member of staff was asked “ARE YOU SELLING ANY ALCOHOL?”, to which he replied “YES”. The City Inspector then asked for a Magnum drink which contains 16.5% alcohol, the same person then proceeded to go towards

the fridges, which were covered by a dropped fabric. This usually indicates that the fridge is closed. The male reached behind this fabric and brought out a Magnum. He then returned to the counter  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.
