Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee considered an application for a New Premises Licence from NW3 Frith Limited, for a new restaurant and bar. The previous licence ref:18/03323/LIPDPS had lapsed in March 2020 following the licence holder going into liquidation, and a new licence was being sought to reinstate on the same terms with the difference that the Applicant has removed private entertainment. As the Applicant will not immediately be selling alcohol, there is no Designated Premises Supervisor nominated. The application sought permission for regulated entertainment, late night refreshment (indoors only) and the sale of alcohol on and off the premises. The Sub-Committee noted that the operating hours licensable activities that had been applied for fell outside of Westminster’s core hours.

 

Additional submissions had been submitted by the Applicant and circulated to all parties.

Summary of issues raised by objectors

 

  • The provision and hours requested for the supply of alcohol, late-night refreshment and playing of recorded music may have the likely effect of causing an increase in public nuisance may affect public safety within the West End Cumulative Impact area and undermine the Licensing Objectives.

·       The application may cause further policing problems in a locality where there is traditionally high levels of crime and disorder.

Summary of Application

 

The application sought a variation of an existing premises licence to extend the terminal hour for the sale of alcohol Monday to Saturday 10.00 to midnight and Sunday 10.00 to 23.00; to extend the Premises opening hours to midnight every day; and to add late night refreshment Monday to Saturday 10:00 to midnight and Sunday 10.00 to 23.00. 

 

The Sub-Committee noted that following consultation, the Applicant had amended the application by reducing the hours applied for the Sale by Retail of Alcohol and Late-Night Refreshment to Core Hours. The provision for Late Night Refreshment on Sundays had also been withdrawn.

 

The Premises had opened in January 2020 and currently operate as a restaurant which had only traded for a two-month period until March, due to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic which had resulted in its closure.
