Summary of Objections

 

The Environmental Health Services state:

 

The hours requested are beyond Core Hours and will have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may impact Public Safety within the CIZ

 

The Licensing Authority state:

 

The hours requested are beyond Core Hours and the premises is located within the West End Cumulative Impact Area and as such various policy points must be considered, namely CIP1, HRS1 and PB1. The proposed restaurant condition only applies after 21.00 and therefore prior to that time the premises is a bar.

 

The Residents states:

 

The premises will add to the cumulative impact of nuisance and crime and disorder as a result of other licensed premises in the area. There will be an increase in noise, traffic, waste collection and the application will affect public safety. The proposal will not promote the licensing objectives. The premises should remain a restaurant during the whole of trading hours.

 

Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”).

Summary of Objections

 

The Environmental Health Services state:

 

Regulated entertainment is likely to cause a public nuisance.

 

The provision of LNR and the hours is likely to increase public nuisance and affect public safety in the area.

 

 

Cllr Karen Scarborough states:

 

The application will not promote the licensing objective, namely prevention of public nuisance, crime and disorder and children from harm. This is not conducive with a residential area and there is no explanation how the premises will operate.

 

Guy Austin States:

 

The Marylebone Association has concerns about the late hours requested for trading including live and recorded music. There is a large capacity which may cause dispersal issues. There is a possibility of selling the premises with late trading hours.

Summary of Application

 

“The premises is to be a high-class restaurant where diners will be treated to occasional live music to compliment the ambient relaxed setting. The application has been completed for a traditional restaurant serving food and drink, there will be no service of alcohol at the premises.”

The Premises is located within Marylebone High Street Ward and is not in a CIZ or SCZ.
