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

 

This was a new application for a premises licence in respect of a premises that would trade as a cocktail bar in the West End cumulative impact area (CIA). There was an existing licence for these premises that would be surrendered if the application was granted and a key question arising was whether the new application could be granted as an exception to the licensing policy. It was noted that the application involved an overall reduction in the hours for the sale of alcohol but an increase in the hours for the sale of alcohol in the evening and an increase in the hours for late night refreshment.

 

Gary Grant (Counsel, representing the Applicant Company) began by referring to the photographs of the premises contained in the late representations circulated. He advised that the premises operated as a craft cocktail bar offering an immersive experience for customers who could if they so wish participate in creating their own cocktails, assisted by expert cocktail makers. Mr Grant stated that the only other premises that operated in a similar way was the Applicant Company’s branch that had operated in Manhattan, New York which, due to licensing changes in that city, had resulted in its closure, meaning that the London branch was the only one that was currently in operation.

 

Mr Grant confirmed that, following the amendment of the application, the proposals were to extend the terminal hour for licensable activities (and closure of the premises) by one hour from Wednesday to Saturday. Gary Grant acknowledged that the premises was within a cumulative impact area (CIA), however it was right at the edge of it and not at the heart of the problems experienced in this area. The customer base included both those from local businesses and local residents. There was customer demand for an extension of terminal hours as highlighted by those making representations in support of the application. This included comments made by one supporter that she often had to head towards Soho for a final drink with her friends because Genuine Liquorette was required to close earlier than other premises in the area. She stated that she would prefer to remain at Genuine Liquorette and a one hour extension to the terminal hour would allow her to do so. Gary Grant stated that with customers of the premises having to go into the heart of the CIA at later hours, this added to cumulative impact in this area. Allowing the premises to remain open for longer would prevent this from happening and help improve the situation in the central part of the CIA. Mr Grant also felt that it would be more desirable that customers remained in a high-quality venue where they would be seated as opposed to wandering into the heart of the CIA to visit other licensed premises. The Sub-Committee noted that there had been no representations from local residents objecting to the application.

 

Gary Grant stated that the premises had operated for two years without any problems and was not a vertical drinking bar. Environmental Health had conducted a site visit and not identified any problems associated with the premises. Mr Grant stated that in order to mitigate the potential impact of an extension of the terminal hour for licensable activities, a comprehensive list of conditions were proposed which were not on the existing licence. In addition, the premises was currently licensed across three floors. The application proposed that the basement no longer be part of the licensed area. Gary Grant acknowledged that the basement was not presently in use, however a minor variation to the layout would make this feasible. The impact on removing the basement from the licensed area would be to reduce potential capacity from 200 customers to 120 customers, with capacity limits set to 60 persons for both the ground floor and first floor. The Sub-Committee heard that there were currently no capacity limits to the ground floor and the basement, although there was a limit of 60 persons to the first floor and an overall capacity of 200 persons to the whole premises. The changes to the layout would also make for a smaller, more intimate venue.

 

Gary Grant then referred to the conditions on the current licence which would allow the Applicant Company to have unrestricted off sales of alcohol, including for example, by delivery. The newly proposed conditions were much more restricting, particularly as the Applicant Company would be surrendering its existing licence by condition if the application was granted. The proposals also meant the Applicant Company surrendering its current permission for unrestricted recorded music. Mr Grant stated that the conditions proposed included those to set capacity limits, prevent vertical drinking, future proof the premises if another operator took over the premises, removal of the basement from the licensed area, requirements to provide substantial food and last entry times to prevent people turning up for a quick late night drink.

 

Mr Grant made reference to proposed condition 23 which stated that “There shall be no sales of alcohol for consumption off the premises to customers in person after 23:00 hours. All sales of alcohol for consumption off the premises after 23:00 hours are to be by a recognised delivery service only”. Mr Grant suggested that and restricted to alcoholic cocktails” be added to this condition in order to address concerns raised by the Police. Such deliveries would involve delivery of ‘cocktail kits’ and Mr Grant added that generally the delivery companies used would use bicycles. He advised that there were 23 residents who lived within 75 metres of the premises and none had made complaints about deliveries. Other conditions included the requirement to have a security industry approved door supervisor, a dispersal policy and conditions to control the outside area, including a condition preventing drinking outside after 21:00,  that being an acknowledgement that residents could be impacted by outside drinking.

 

Gary Grant commented that the premises was located in a busy, bustling area and there were a number of premises that currently operated to later hours than Genuine Liquorette, including Tampopo, and in some cases, to considerably later hours such as The Roxy and Punk. Mr Grant contended that the application represented a staggering of closing times across the area which would be beneficial in terms of dispersal. He then introduced Andrew Bamber (Consultant, representing the Applicant Company) who had conducted an independent Environmental Audit and Risk Assessment and who had previously been Borough Commander of two boroughs and who had also been the Assistant Director of Community Safety at a London local authority.

 

Andrew Bamber addressed the Sub-Committee and stated that he had taken account of the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy. From his assessment, Mr Bamber considered the premises’ management to be very responsible and responsive. A comprehensive operating schedule was in place and there was also a licensing manual. Andrew Bamber felt that the Applicant Company recognised that concerns needed to be taken into account with regard to the premises’ location and they wanted to ensure that they did not close at the same time as other premises to ensure a more stagnated customer dispersal in the area. He considered the premises to be in the upper quartile in terms of quality of management and he had observed customers of the premises to primarily be modern professionals and business people who shared an interest in cocktails. He had observed that customer dispersal was quiet and orderly and customers would mention about heading to Soho. Mr Bamber concluded by stating that he had not identified any problems with the premises and could not foresee any negative impact from the premises having an hour extension to the terminal hour for licensable activities.

 

Gary Grant then addressed the Sub-Committee to conclude his initial submission and stated that although the proposals were to extend the terminal hour by one hour from Wednesday to Saturday, the overall hours for licensable activities would actually reduce as commencement hours had been put back to a later time from 10:00 to 12:00 Monday to Saturday. A number of rigorous conditions were proposed and the capacity limit would be considerably reduced from the current potential capacity from 200 persons to 120 persons. Mr Grant referred to paragraph 2.4.7 of policy, which recognised that a reduction in capacity was a possible factor in demonstrating an exception to policy to grant. He therefore felt, on balance, the application was unlikely to add to cumulative impact in the CIA if granted.

 

Anil Drayan (Environmental Health) then addressed the Sub-Committee and confirmed that he had visited the premises and observed that it operated differently to a standard vertical drinking establishment. He stated that it was possible that the premises could become a standard bar if it was sold on. However, the premises’ current modus operandi as a cocktail bar marked it out from other bars and this could be considered a benefit. Mr Drayan felt that consideration be given as to how to appropriately condition the licence so that it remained operating in the same way. The hours applied for were contrary to policy, however the reduction in capacity represented a significant offer from the Applicant Company and Anil Drayan accepted that potentially the premises could have a capacity of 200 persons under the current licence. Conditions restricting the use of the outside area and takeaway of alcohol also represented significant improvements to what was permissible on the current licence. Mr Drayan advised that the premises under the current operator had not caused any issues as far as Environmental Health were concerned. The Sub-Committee noted that the premises had previously operated as a burger bar where there had been issues. Anil Drayan concluded by stating that the additional conditions gave further assurances as to how the premises would operate and a key consideration was whether the proposed reduction in capacity sufficiently mitigated the extension in terminal hours for licensable activities.

 

At this point, on behalf of the Applicant Company, Gary Grant advised that a condition could be offered stating that “Any permitted licensable activities beyond core hours may only be utilised by TYL UK Ltd” which he added would effectively personalise the licence.

 

PC Bryan Lewis (Metropolitan Police) confirmed that he was maintaining his representation as the premises was located within a CIA and the area was particularly busy. He added that proposals to provide off sales of alcohol after 23:00, even though it was restricted through a delivery service, was still of concern to him and he opposed this activity.

 

Angela Seaward (Licensing Authority), also confirmed that she was maintaining her representation because the premises was located within a CIA. She referred to policies CIP1, HRS1 and PB2 which needed to be taken into consideration in determining the application and confirmed that she had undertaken a site visit of the premises. Angela Seawardfelt that the conditions proposed went some way to mitigating the concerns raised, however particular attention needed to be given as to whether they satisfied policy PB2.

 

The Sub-Committee, in noting that the basement was currently licensed, asked whether it was currently unusable, in view of the fact that the plans of the floor showed a kitchen and a washing up area. The Sub-Committee commented that even a minor variation to the ground floor would need officer approval and queried whether the current capacity of 200 was merely theoretical. It was asked whether the kitchen area was still in use. The Sub-Committee also asked whether the Applicant Company would consider agreeing a personalised condition in respect of the overall use of the premises. Members also asked Environmental Health what they would expect to see of a cocktail bar when undertaking a site visit. Further information was also sought in respect of the nature of the problems experienced when the premises had previously operated as a burger bar.

 

In reply to issues raised by the Sub-Committee, Gary Grant acknowledged that the current capacity of 200 persons was only a potential one at this stage and the basement was being used as a storage area. However, the Applicant Company, if it so wished, could move seating into the basement at any time. Gary Grant confirmed that the basement in the kitchen was still in use, however the rest of this floor could be re-configured fairly easily for licensable activities. On behalf of the Applicant Company, he advised that they would consider a condition stating that the premises can only be used as a bespoke cocktail bar operated by the Applicant Company, TYL UK Ltd.

 

At this point, both Anil Drayan and PC Bryan Lewis agreed that the condition just suggested by Gary Grant in restricting the use of premises as a cocktail bar operated by the Applicant Company would help prevent it from becoming a vertical drinking bar. Anil Drayan added that during his site visit to the premises, he had observed that only the ground floor had taps to dispense alcoholic drinks and the first floor was entirely devoted to cocktails, so he was satisfied that the premises was operating as a bona fide cocktail bar. With regard to when the premises had operated as a burger bar, Anil Drayan advised that the problems experienced related to odours because of the type of food being cooked.

 

Gary Grant felt that by demonstrating that a cocktail bar was causing less problems than a burger bar, this gave grounds to take the view that the application could be justified in being granted as an exception to policy.

 

PC Bryan Lewis maintained that the application if agreed would lead to more people consuming alcohol at later hours in the area.

 

Barry Panto queried whether the premises would be typically at full capacity in the evenings. This question was raised to question whether the reduction in the current capacity of the premises was a meaningful reduction.   

 

In reply, Marco Attanasio (Designated Premises Supervisor, Applicant Company) advised that typically the premises would be around 75% to 80% of capacity, although there were some occasions when it would be full and customers would need to be turned away. Mr Grant made the further point that if a potential increase in capacity could be held against an applicant, the same shoud apply in reverse to a potential reduction in capacity.  

 

After careful and measured consideration, the Sub-Committee granted the application, subject to additional conditions. The Sub-Committee acknowledged that the premises was located in a cumulative impact area, however it considered, on balance, that the resultant reduction in capacity sufficiently demonstrated an exception to policy, which stated in paragraph 2.4.7 that a reduction in capacity could be considered as a factor in making an exception. This was a marginal decision in that there was a concern that it would not be that straightforward to actually make use of the basement for licensable activities in any event. The Sub-Committee also considered that the extensive conditions to be added were desirable and a significant improvement to the conditions on the existing licence. In addition, the Sub-Committee noted that no residents had objected to the application and there would also be an overall reduction in the total hours for the sale of alcohol. The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the premises was a bona fide cocktail bar and not a standard vertical drinking bar.

 

The Sub-Committee added further conditions stating that any permitted activities that went beyond core hours may only be utilised by theApplicant Company, TYL UK Limited and similarly that the premises may only be used as a bespoke cocktail bar by the Applicant Company (TYL UK Limited). The Sub-Committee added these conditions following them being suggested by Gary Grant on behalf of the Applicant Company during the course of the hearing. The Sub-Committee also varied the condition in relation to off sales of alcohol by delivery after 23:00 by restricting sales to alcoholic cocktails, as suggested by Gary Grant on behalf of the Applicant Company during the course of the hearing, to address Police concerns raised on this matter.

 

In determining the application, the Sub-Committee also considered that the conditions to be added to the premises licence would help the Applicant Company to uphold the promotion of the licensing objectives (prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance, public safety, and protection of children from harm).
