·       The Metropolitan Police Service advised that the venue is situated within the Cumulative Impact Area and it is their belief that if granted the application would undermine the Licensing Objectives in relation to the Prevention of Crime and Disorder.

·       The Licensing Authority had concerns as to how the premises would promote the four licensing objectives.
