Summary of Application
The Sub-Committee has determined a Street Trading Application from Westminster City Council. Proposals include fire breaks between pitches and a choice between the number of pitches available.
Representations received
• 18 Pitch holders • 6 Local residents
Summary of issues raised by objectors
Objections centered around the reduction in market pitches, provision of electric to the pitches and the fire report submitted.
Policy Position
Policy ST5 applies under the City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy apply (SLP).
SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS
Ms Shannon Pring, from the Licensing Service of Westminster City Council, explained that several pitches had been removed in the new layout options put forward as there was not enough space to have the same number of pitches whilst including a one metre fire break, and one pitch would not have access to electricity. Ms Catherine Brice, Head of Markets at Westminster City Council, addressed the Sub-Committee and informed Members currently there were 26 pitches but this number of pitches did not comply with the 1 metre fire break regulation. Ms Brice said that if there were to be 26 pitches with the 1 metre break, the pitches would have to be smaller than the 3 metre by 3 metre current sizing, commonly used across the borough. Ms Brice said that options 1 and 2 were closely aligned with the layout now, and option 3 differed the most but gave greater access to power for the traders. The Sub-Committee asked that if no decision was made, what the outcome would be. Ms Brice said that her aim was to improve layout pitch markings which helps with enforcement and stated there had been extensive consultation with traders The Sub-Committee asked if there were to be any changes to the drainage of the area. Ms Brice said this was not part of this consultation as this focusses solely on the layout. The Sub-Committee were informed by Mr Anil Drayan from Environmental Health that the restriction on the amps of electric for the traders was to ensure that power was supplied in a uniform way and to ensure that the market was not dominated by food outlets. Ms Brice said that the Highways Team have ensured this level of power is safe. Mr David Doyle from the London Fire Brigade addressed the Sub-Committee and said that markets are a great local resource with a variety of usage. Mr Doyle said that Berwick Street was very narrow and the ... view the full minutes text for item 1. |
