Representations Received
· Environmental Health Service (Ian Watson) · Metropolitan Police (PC Reaz Guerra) – Withdrawn · Planning Department (Harry Berks) · Three local residents objecting to the application
Summary of issues raised by objector
· The proposed extension in hours for licensable activities would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance within the area.
· The opening hours proposed are until 00:30 and are therefore not in accordance with the opening hours that had been granted planning permission. The North Planning Team therefore objected on grounds of noise nuisance. If the premises were open beyond 22:00 they would be liable to planning enforcement investigation.
· The extension of opening hours was not in keeping with the quiet nature of the street and would further disrupt the ability of residents to enjoy any quiet time in their homes.
Policy Position
Under Policy HRS1, applications within the core hours will generally be granted subject to not being contrary to other policies in the Statement of Licensing Policy.
Under Policy COMB1(A), applications outside the West End Cumulative Impact Zone for premises that propose to operate as a ‘combined use premises’ will be considered on their merits and subject to the matters identified in Policy COMB1.
