Summary of Application

 

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

bakery and confectionary shop offering hot and cold non-alcoholic beverages.

The Premises are located within the St James’s and West End Cumulative Impact Zone (“West End CIZ”). There is a resident count of 19.

  • Metropolitan Police Service (PC Adam Deweltz)
  • Environmental Health Service (Anil Drayan)
  • The Licensing Authority (Karyn Abbot)
  • Councillors Tim Mitchell, Louise Hyams and Mark Shearer, St James Ward Councillors
  • One resident

 

Summary of Representations

 

  • The Metropolitan Police had made representation in relation to the application as the proposal may undermine the licencing objectives of Prevention of Crime and Disorder. The hours sought are also beyond that of Westminster’s core hours policy.
  •  
  • The Environmental Health Service had made a representation as the premises are located in the West End Cumulative Impact Zone (CIZ).

  • The Licensing Authority had maintained representations on the Licensing objections of the Prevention of Public Nuisance, Prevention of Crime and Disorder, Public Safety and Protection of Children from Harm.

 

  • St James Ward Councillors had maintained representations as the Premises was situated within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone and failed to sufficiently demonstrate what mitigating factors which would not add to the cumulative impact.

 

  • A resident had raised concerns over the selection and quality of food that was on offer.

 

The following Polices apply under the City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy (“SLP”)

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

 

The Presenting Officer Kevin Jackamanrepresenting the Licensing Service, introduced the report. He advised that this was an application for a Renewal of a Sexual Entertainment Venue Premises Licence made on behalf of the Applicant, Too 2 Much Limited in respect of The Box, 11-12 Walker’s Court, London, W1F 0ED. He further advised that one objection had been received from a local resident.

Mr Baylis, representing the Applicant, advised that this was a renewal of its licence which had been done on an annual basis. Mr Baylis said that in his view the resident objector did not really touch upon they key issues required for the objection to be valid under the 1982 Act. He said that many of the issues raised were to do with the area generally and not directly related to these Premises and so very little weight should be attached to the objection. Mr Baylis said that he had very much left to say apart from the fact that there was no evidence to grant a refusal of the application.

 

In reply to questions from the Sub-Committee Mr Baylis said that there had been problems with gangs in the area but this was an ongoing problem which the Police are currently dealing with. In terms of the Premises security arrangements the Applicant, Mr Aasim Chaudhri confirmed there is always SIA security monitoring the outside of the Premises ensuring that customers are kept safe within the defined zone of the Premises. Mr Chaudhri stated that unfortunately due to the crime in the local area customers can sometimes be the target for watch thefts when leaving the Premises which was ultimately a policing issue and not within the strict control of the Premises.  

 

The Sub-Committee noted that this was an application for a renewal of the Applicants SEV licence and in its determination of the matter considered all relevant factors namely the locality of the venue and its surrounding premises such as schools and places of worships.
