Amendments to application advised at hearing:

None.

Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):

This was a new premises licence application for off-sales of alcohol at the Italian deli and off licence.  Mr Baylis stated that the Applicant owned a restaurant two doors away from the premises.  The main focus at the restaurant would be on organic Italian produce and the average spend per head was likely to be approximately £50 to £60.  The deli would be a similar type of operation.  The off-licence would have an emphasis on fine Italian wines and spirits.  It was intended to open the restaurant and deli/off licence in September/ October 2016.  Mr Baylis added that the Applicant had previously brought Nobu to the United Kingdom and had operated a number of high end premises in London since then.

Mr Baylis referred to the fact that following discussions with the Applicant and conditions being agreed, the Council’s Environmental Health Department and the Metropolitan Police had withdrawn their representations.  He had written on 25 May 2016 to the local resident who had objected to the application.  She had replied initially indicating that she would like to meet the Applicant but when potential meeting dates had been offered, she had not responded.  Ms Anand-Patel advised the Sub-Committee that she had also attempted to contact the local resident twice by email on behalf of The Licensing Service in order to find out if she wished to attend the hearing but she had not responded.

The Sub-Committee was aware that that there were residents in the area, including, it was believed, above the premises.  There would also be new residents coming into the area.  Members were keen that no public nuisance was caused by servicing arrangements.  Mr Baylis was therefore asked whether he would be willing to agree an earlier time than 23.00 hours when any movement of rubbish in outside areas, including bottles, would cease.  He replied that his client would be content with a latest time of 21:00 as he believed there was a compactor at the premises and rubbish would be stored inside.  The Sub-Committee also asked what the Applicant’s position was on deliveries and collection of waste or recycling materials, including bottles.  Mr Baylis made the point that in respect of deliveries the Applicant wished to offer breakfast.  He offered a condition that there would be no deliveries between 21:00 and 07.00.  He was content for a condition to be attached to the premises licence that there would be no collection of waste  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.
