Summary of Application
According to the application form, the premises intend to trade as a lap dancing club (perhaps more appropriately referred to as a table dancing. pole dancing or striptease club). A separate application has been made for a Sexual Entertainment Venue (SEV) licence for the premises.
The SEV application states that the applicants have significant experience of operating a venue of this type at the Mayfair Club in Dover Street. The Mayfair Club has now closed, and it appears that the applicants are seeking to transfer the SEV operation from those premises to 37 Duke Street. The proposed conditions set out in the Operating Schedule for the Premises Licence are very similar to the conditions on the licence for the Mayfair Club.
There is an existing premises licence for 37 Duke Street (licence number 19/11489/LIPV). That licence is also held by Electshow Limited and permits the premises to be used as a nightclub. The differences between the hours on the existing Premises Licence and the hours for the new application are set out below. It will be noticed that the terminal hours are the same from Monday to Saturday, but the commencement hours are much later.
Although the application states that the applicants intend to trade as a lap dancing club, proposed conditions also suggest that the applicants might want to continue operating as a nightclub on some days of the week. The existing licence is conditioned to operate as a nightclub. Many of the conditions on the existing licence have not been replicated as part of the new application, but Environmental Health have suggested additional conditions to reflect the fact that the premises might well continue to operate as a nightclub on some days of the week.
