Representations Received

·       Licensing Authority (Jessica Donovan)

·       Lester Waters (Flat 24, 63 St. Martins Lane WC2N 4JS)

 

Summary of Objections

 

Representations were received from the Metropolitan Police Service (“MPS”) the Licensing Authority and one local resident. 

 

The MPS object to the application on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder. The Premises is located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone and it is likely that if a permanent extension is granted, then this would add to the cumulative impact in the area.

 

The Licensing Authority note that the application falls within the PB1 policy and the applicant will have to demonstrate exceptional circumstances to allow to depart from Policy and that the hours fall outside of core hours for pubs and bars.

 

The resident objector in support of the application states “This change to remove the two year restriction (Condition 50) is acceptable provided the character of the Premises does not change (Condition 49 is retained). The venue has done a good job keeping the noise abated”.

 

 

Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Variation of Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) which operates as a Lounge and Wine Bar. The Premises have had the benefit of a licence since 2005 and hold an existing licence under reference 21/06312/LIPDPS. The Premises Licence Holder seeks to remove Condition 50 only which reads: No licensable activities shall take place at the premises after 2 years from the date of grant unless this condition is otherwise removed or varied by a subsequent variation application

 

The Premises are located within the St James’s Ward and West End Cumulative Impact Zone. There is a presumption to refuse the application unless an exception to policy is made. A series of documents have been provided from pages 140-219 of the agenda papers by the Applicant in support of the application consisting of a submission, various letters of support, an observation report by Adrian Studd and letter from Richard Vivian (Big Sky Acoustics) regarding sound annotation from the Premises and these were duly considered by the Sub-Committee.

 

There is a resident count of 137.

                                           SUBMISSONS AND REASONS

 

Mr Kevin Jackaman Presenting Officer outlined the nature of the application to the Sub-Committee, he advised that this is an application for a Variation of the Premises Licence for Mr Fogg’s 58 St Martins Lane London WC2N 4EA. The application has been brought by St Martin’s Bar Limited and is represented by Mr Gary Grant Counsel. The PLH has applied to remove condition 50 which effectively permits the longer hours granted by the LSC in September 2022 on a permanent basis. Full details can be seen at pages 117-118 of the agenda report. Representations have been received by the Metropolitan Police Service (PC Stewart) The Licensing authority (Ms Jessica Donovan) and 1 local resident who supports the application. The Premises are situated within the West End Ward and fall within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone.

The Sub-Committee exercised its discretion and accepted an email from a local resident that should have been included as part of the PLH’s supporting papers. The Responsible Authorities confirmed that they had no objection to the inclusion of the evidence. Mr Grant confirmed for the record that this should have been part of our presentation however there was a corrupted PDF file and we have since realised the published version did not include the letter and merely an unintentional error.

 

 

 

Councillor Glen brought to the attention of the Sub-Committee a slight typographical error on Page 117 of the report in that the hours on Sunday hours for late night refreshment should have read 00:00 as opposed to 01:00. Mr Grant confirmed the error. 

 

Mr Grant appearing on behalf of the PLH addressed the Sub-Committee, he advised that today’s application is to seek an extension of the current hours made out of a necessity rather than a luxury. He referred to Condition 50 which the PLH was seeking to have removed from the Premises Licence. There was an explicit invitation to come back to the Licensing Sub-Committee to prove that this condition does not add to the CIA.

 

Mr Grant said that this does not set a precedent for other premises in the area and will not have an impact on the West End CIA for the following reasons:-

·       Not a single resident or resident body has objected to these hours being made permanent.

·       2 residents who live next door to the premises are in support. Resident originally objected to the later weekend hours is now positively supporting this application.

·       Mr Fogg’s has now operated to the extended hours for almost 2 years without a single incident having occurred.

·       Continuing the status quo does not add to the CIA.

·       70% of tables are pre-booked which allows the operators to stagger both entrance and exit throughout the evening. We can control how many people are in the premises at one time. In order to stagger those times and to avoid rushing we need the longer hours.

·       We also need the Post theatre crowd which have made these Premises viable.

Mr Grant said that the Applicant was a good employer that looked after its staff and employed over some 400 employees. These employees would have retained secured jobs should the Sub-Committee be minded granting the application. He also said that employees were paid above the London living wage and staff were treated well with benefits including staff training and that the Applicant prided itself on being an independent company offering local jobs.

 

Mr Grant said that additional conditions and limitations to reduce the impact are on this licence are as follows

·       Condition 14 – Capacity is restricted to 50 after the extended hours.

·       After 23:30 there is a restaurant condition (condition 39)

·       There are no off-sales after 23:00.

·       Condition 49 – restricts the style of operation.

·       The PLH operates a Smokers’ policy

·       There is to be a Minimum 1 SIA after 22:00.

·       The PLH operates an effective Dispersal policy and no problems have arisen with regard to dispersal at the terminal hour.

Mr Grant advised that a few weeks ago on 4 June, a woman collapsed outside the Premises and our door supervisor went to her aid. This demonstrates that our SIA on duty on busy nights are responsible - this is a good example where the PLH was  considerate and gave help with such an incident.

 

Mr Adrian Studd crime and disorder expert for the PLH confirmed to the Sub-Committee that the Premises does operate in a very unique style and the fact there have been no incidents regarding crime and disorder should be noted. This is very rare and so the extension of hours would not impact the West End CIA.

 

Mr Charlie Gilkes Director on behalf of the PLH addressed the Sub-Committee and advised that the Covid-19pandemic has caused a huge amount of suffering. It has meant we have been unable to trade in the usual way for 16 months. It has been a very challenging time. Even when we could reopen the Premises, it has taken a lot of time for tourists and office workers to return. Westminster gave us a lifeline by allowing us to extend our hours. After this 2-year period we have not had any concerns or complaints.

In answer to questions from the Sub-Committee Mr Grant confirmed that the Premises does not have a capacity limit prior to 23:00 but that the PLH follows a risk assessment which is 120 patrons.  On the whole the Premises is mostly seated and we tell those that are standing that we can only have those seated after 23:00.

Mr Grant advised that what makes the Premises exceptional is the later hours are not bar hours, they are with a restaurant condition. The extension was granted with a reduction in capacity. Mr Grant contended that it was far better for customers to be in the Premises having a table meal rather than frequenting other licensed premises in the West End CIA because patrons were contained. Mr Grant advised that off sales of alcohol on the pedestrianised pavement until 23:00.

 

The Sub-Committee commented that many venues were granted temporary extensions due to the pandemic over the 2 years but exceptional circumstances still needed to be proven as each case was considered on its merits.

 

PC Stewart on behalf of the MPS addressed the Sub-Committee and said representation wasmaintained because the Premises is located in the West End CIA. The Premises does not currently cause the Police any issues. PC Stewart said that the Police strongly support the need for the West End CIA due to high levels of crime and disorder which subsequently cause a significant drain on Police resources. Any permanent increase of licensable activities in the area has the risk of increasing crime and disorder. The Premises were previously granted an extension on the basis that it was temporary and for 2 years. However, the PLH is now seeking to extend the hours on a permanent basis, given the location I believe it would be appropriate for the Sub-Committee to determine whether the application is still an exception to policy.

In answer to questions from the Sub-Committee PC Stewart gave a brief account of Police activity in the area pre-pandemic and post pandemic. He advised that Policehave no specific concerns with the premises directly. St Martins Lane is busier and more populated with licence premises. In May of this year, there were 3,454 offences reports which is an 84% increase compared to last year. This is also the same as previous months where there has been a 127% increase in crimes and these include thefts, violence against a person. Crime is now on the increase. 

 

Ms Donovan appearing on behalf of the Licensing Authority addressed the Sub-Committee. Ms Donovan said that the Licensing Authority had maintained their representation as the Premises falls within the West End CIA and therefore the application needs to be considered under the pubs and bars policy (PB1b) and the councils cumulative impact policy (CIP1).  The Licensing Authority note the original application was granted at the Licensing Sub-Committee in July 2020 due to an exception to the PB1 policy as the application was time-limited, well-conditioned and the additional hours were of a temporary nature. However, Policy PB1(B) states, it is the Licensing Authorities policy to refuse applications within the West End Cumulative impact zone other than applications to vary the existing licence hours within the Council’s Core hours policy (HRS1) and applications that seek to vary the existing licence as to reduce the overall capacity of the Premises. The application is beyond core hours, CIP1 states that applications that fall within PB1 will be refused. It is intended to be strict and will only be overridden in exceptional circumstances.

 

The Sub-Committee queried Condition 47 on the Premises Licence and whether this should be amended to reflect better wording. Mr Chance the Legal Advisor to the Sub-Committee confirmed that the same wording could be used as the PLH’s other application that was heard in the morning in respect of their Premises in Bedford Street for the sake of consistency.

 

Mr Simpkin the Policy Advisor to the Sub-Committee clarified to the Sub-Committee whether there has been any reduction inthe number of licenced premises within the CIA and whether that has affected the issue of licences. Mr Simpkin advised that there has been an increase in licenced premises but that the Council has not lost any. Mr Simpkin said that he accepted the point that there have been venues closing and holding the licence for future use.

In terms of giving 5 exceptional reasons to the Sub-Committee Mr Grant confirmed the following:-

·       Extended hours were granted on the basis of the Premises capacity.

·       All sales of alcohol after 23:00 have to be ancillary to food.

·       The Premises has operated for 2 years without a single incident/complaint.

·       There have been two resident objections in support of the application.

·       The MPS have confirmed that the Premises is not one they associate with crime and disorder.

Mr Grant stated in conclusion the PLH is notasking for an extension to bar hours but instead is looking for an extension to restaurant hours. Condition 49 is strong and restricts the Premises. Mr Grant said that we are not looking at vertical drinking and on that basis the application should be granted accordingly.

 

Conclusion

 

The Sub-Committee realises that it has a duty to consider each application on its individual merits and did so when determining this application.

 

The Sub-Committee was persuaded by the arguments advanced by the PLH that exceptional circumstances had been proven having regard to the Premises being located within the West End cumulative Impact Zone.

 

During the last two years it was clear that the PLH had been a responsible operator that has run the Premises well free from complaint that has led to the promotion of the licensing objectives. It was noted by the Sub-Committee that the Environmental Health Service did not objection to the application and that the MPS confirmed that they did not have any specific issues with the Premises when it came to public nuisance and crime and disorder and only maintained objection because the Premises is located with the West End CIZ.

 

The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the Premises offer was unique and exceptional and this accords with Condition 49 on the Premises Licence meaninglicensable activities can only occur if the Premises operates as a Mr Foggs bar effectively restricting the Premises to operating to these same hours thus preserving the status quo. 

 

The Sub-Committee did decide that condition 49 should be amended to read “The Premises shall only be permitted to carry out licensable if it operates as a Phileas Fogg themed lounge restaurant and bar” as this best reflects the Premises business model and offer and fitted in with a similar application at another branch of the PLH in Bedford Street, London WC2E.

The Sub-Committee noted that the capacity was reduced to 50 and that after 23:00 hours the Premises would become a restaurant and food led so that patrons would have to purchase alcohol ancillary to a table meal and this would be subject to waiter and waitress service. In turn this prevents the Premises from becoming a vertical drinking venue and again preserves the style nature and character of the Premises.

 

The Sub-Committee considered that the conditions imposed on the premises licence were appropriate and would ensure that the four licensing objectives were promoted.

 

The Sub-Committee decided that the Applicant had provided valid reasons as to why the granting of the variation application to the extended hours would promote the licensing objectives. 

 

 

 

Having carefully considered the committee papers and the submissions made by all the parties, both orally and in writing, the Sub-Committee has decided to Grant the Application, after taking into account all the individual circumstances of this case and the promotion of the four licensing objectives:

5.        To grant permission for Seasonal variations so that all licensable activities shall be extended from the end of permitted hours on New Year’s Eve to the start of permitted hours on New Year’s Day.

 

6.        That Condition 49 is hereby modified so that it now reads “The Premises shall only be permitted to carry out licensable activities if it operates after midnight as a Phileas Fogg themed lounge restaurant and bar”
