The Sub-Committee
considered an application by Harry’s Bar Restaurants Limited
(“the Applicant”) for a new Premises licence in respect
of Brasserie of Light (First Floor Duke St Entrance), Selfridges,
400 Oxford Street, W1A 1AB.
The Presenting Officer provided an
outline of the application to the Sub-Committee. He advised that the applicant had requested
the same hours currently permitted by virtue of the
existing premises licence held by Selfridges Retail
Limited. He further advised that
Selfridges Retail Limited was in support of the application
and that a local resident had sent in a representation
against the application. He confirmed
that the premises was not located in a cumulative
impact area.
Mr Walsh (representing
the applicant) advised that the Sub-Committee had before it an
application for a new premises licence.
He stated that Harry’s Bar Restaurants Limited had requested
the same hours currently permitted by the existing licence held by
Selfridges Retail Limited for the Ground and First Floor Licensed
Premises within the Selfridges Departmental Store.
Mr Walsh outlined that
the premises had opened in November 2018 as the Brasserie of Light
and had traded since then (pursuant to the existing Selfridges
Licence) without causing concern from the Responsible Authorities
or residents. Mr Walsh advised that
Harry’s Bar Restaurant had been granted a 15 year’
lease of the premises by Selfridges Retail Ltd and that they
considered that it was appropriate to hold the premises licence as
they would be the ones managing and operating the
restaurant. Mr Walsh referred to the
premises plans and emphasised that there was no change to the
licensing activities, the layout of the premises or the entrances
and exits to the restaurant. He also
added that the applicant had an Operational Management Plan, which

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee
considered an application by Mosela Investments SI (“the
Applicant”) for a new licence in respect of a restaurant to
be called Amazonico, situated at 10 Berkeley Square, W1J
6EF.
The Presenting Officer provided an
outline of the application to the Sub-Committee. He advised that the applicant had applied for
live music, recorded music, late night refreshment
and the supply of alcohol at the premises. He further
advised that a local resident had sent in a representation against
the application but was unable to attend the hearing.
Mr Alun Thomas (representing
the applicant) advised that the Sub-Committee had before it an
application for a new premises licence called Amazonico, which
would be part of the Dogus Group, which was responsible for several
London restaurants.
The Sub-Committee heard that
one Mayfair resident had made a representation against the
application because of concern about late night deliveries and
servicing of the premises through local residential
streets. The Sub-Committee noted that
the resident had requested that a condition be attached to the
licence that no collections from the premises or deliveries be made
after 8pm. Mr Thomas advised that
the applicant could not agree to this condition as Environmental
Health had agreed to the condition of no servicing between 7am and
11pm, which was common with the vast majority of other premises in
Westminster. Mr Thomas further advised
that the applicant was happy with the four servicing and delivery
model conditions proposed on the premises licence.
Mr Thomas outlined that the
applicant had written to the resident regarding her concerns
setting out that in accordance with planning permission reference
18/05958/FULL dated 1 November 2018 servicing facilities were
on-site in the basement of the premises. Mr Thomas made the point that the resident lived
half a mile/11 minutes’ walk away from the premises and
therefore the premises’ activities would not directly affect
the resident. He added that there had
been no representations received from residents living in closer
proximity to the premises.
The Sub-Committee noted the
written representation from the resident, which outlined the
concerns with deliveries and servicing up to 11pm at night through
residential streets. The resident
considered that deliveries and servicing up to 8pm would be
preferable. The Sub-Committee further
noted that the premises had its ...

Renewal of a Sexual Entertainment Venue Premises
Licence
|
|
The application
was to renew the sexual entertainment venue premises licence made
by Platinum Lace (Management) Limited to continue to operate the
premises as a sexual entertainment venue between the hours of 15:00
to 06:00 on each of the days Monday to Saturday and 15:00 to 03:00
on Sunday. The Applicant did not
request to change the relevant entertainment or to remove any
standard conditions on the licence in the event the application was
granted. Objections to the renewal
application had been submitted alleging serious breaches of the
conditions on the licence and, in particular, alleged breaches of
conditions that prohibit contact between customers and
performers.
|

Amendments to
application advised at hearing:
None
|
|
Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
Mr Jackaman, introducing the
application and advised that Objector 1 had not waived the right to
anonymity.
The Sub-Committee decided to
hear from the objectors first as that was considered to be the most
appropriate way of dealing with an opposed application for renewal
under the Sexual Entertainment Venue legislation.
The
request for an Adjournment of the Hearing
Mr Jessop (Counsel,
representing the anonymous objector) referred to the recent
application for an adjournment of the hearing due to the
investigators and the objector not being available on the scheduled
date for the hearing. He advised that
the application had been refused by the Chairman.
Mr Jessop then advised he would
like to renew the application for an adjournment in the interests
of justice and the interest of fairness as the Sub-Committee may
wish to hear from the investigators because of the very serious
nature of the allegations and give them the opportunity to respond
to questions from the Applicant and Sub-Committee.
Mr Philip Kolvin (Counsel,
representing Mr Simon Warr) advised that the notification of the
hearing date had been sent out to all parties two weeks ago and
that the applicant’s evidence had been served to the
Licensing Authority in the correct timeframe. He requested that the hearing proceed
today.
Mr Panto advised that the
Sub-Committee would consider the submissions from both parties and
if the hearing proceeded it would be conducted under the Local
Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982. He pointed out
that, under that legislation, ...
