Summary of Application
The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises is a two decked passenger vessel moored on the Thames at Temple Pier known as the Golden Sunrise. The Vessel comprises of two bars, full-service galley, a dance floor and outside sun deck. The vessel is marketed as holding 240 passengers and is primarily used for family celebrations, corporate events, club nights and sightseeing cruises on the river Thames. Customers can choose from various drinks, food and entertainment options. The Applicant submitted a presentation of the proposals. The Sub-Committee in its determination of the matter considered this submission which can be found on pages 3-21 of the additional agenda papers.
The application requests the sale of alcohol outside of Westminster Councils Core Hours Policy and a request to play music. The Premises is within the St James’s Ward but not in the West End Cumulative Impact Zone or Special Consideration Zone.
There is a resident count of 0.

• The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple
Summary of issues raised by objectors
· I am writing to inform you that the Metropolitan Police, as a Responsible Authority, will be objecting to this application as it is our belief that if granted the application would undermine the Licensing Objectives. There is insufficient detail within the operating schedule to promote the Licensing Objectives. The Hours sought exceed Westminster’s Core Hours Policy. An officer from this unit will be in contact with you shortly to discuss the application. However, it is for the applicant to prove that this application will not add to the cumulative impact problems already experienced in this area. It is for these reasons that we are objecting to the application.
· Representation is made in relation to the application, as the proposals are likely to increase the risk of Public Nuisance and may impact upon Public Safety.
· I am writing on behalf of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple to object to the above application on the following grounds:
· A number of our properties bound onto the Embankment and as such the proposed licensing hours, extending through to 1.00am including Sundays, has the potential to cause significant disturbance to our residential occupants. This will particularly be the case where passengers disembark from the vessel in the early hours of the morning to make their way along the Embankment to Blackfriars Station.
· Likewise, the proposal to commence opening hours at 7.00am each day especially at weekends has the potential to cause disturbance to our residential and professional tenants, with the latter often working over weekend periods.
· The potential to sell alcohol from 9.00am every day of the week also causes us concern. This is liable to add to the potential for rowdy behaviour particularly where functions extend throughout the day to the early hours of the morning.
· Whilst open drinks may not be removed from the vessel (as stated in the application), there is a potential for sealed bottled drinks to be taken off the vessel and our concern is that these will be consumed as soon as passengers leave the vessel, leading to heightened unsociable behaviour in our immediate vicinity.
· There are no public toilets in the vicinity of the vessel or indeed the other vessels moored between Temple Pier and Blackfriars. With the proposed consumption of alcohol up to 1.00am every morning and potentially continuing off the vessel after, the potential for misuse of our river frontage and immediate grounds as a public convenience increase. We are already suffering this problem due to the number of entertainment vessels and bars located along our stretch of the river.
· We would ask that the Licensing Authority restricts the licensing hours, especially on Sundays and looks to impose a ban on removal of any alcoholic drinks (whether open or sealed) by passengers leaving the vessel at any time of the day.

SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS
The Presenting Officer Ms Roxsana Haq outlined the application to the Sub-Committee. She advised that this was an application for a New Premises Licence in respect of the Golden Sunrise Passenger Vessel moored on the Thames at Temple Pier Victoria Embankment. The Applicant is seeking licensable activities including late night refreshment and the sale of alcohol. She confirmed that representations had been received both from the Metropolitan Police and Environmental Health Services and the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple. The Premises is located within the St James’s Ward but not within either the West End Cumulative Impact Zone or Special Consideration Zone.
Mr James Rankin Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant addressed the Sub-Committee. He began by explaining that Mr Matt Spanswick for the Applicant was an experienced Thames Waterman. Mr Rankin stated that there are three other boats moored in Westminster with the same hours as requested for the Golden Sunrise, and this vessel is currently already operational in the City of London, with hours until 03:00 but that a reduced terminal hour of 01:00 had been applied for. This vessel was primarily for milestone events such as weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. The vessel can be boarded within 15 minutes and disembarked within 15 minutes.
Mr Rankin then turned to the objection from the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple explaining that there were three other boats of roughly the same size, in the same wider location, and the Honourable Society had raised no issues from these other vessels. The Licensing Officer has proposed a number of conditions and Mr Rankin said there were also some additional conditions, in conversations with both the Metropolitan Police Service and Environmental Health Service, he wished to add.
Mr Rankin spoke about off-sales of alcohol and clarified that no patrons leaving the vessel will be served alcohol to take off the vessel, but where there may be a situation such as lockdown regulations again, this would allow for a level of futureproofing. Mr Rankin also explained that when there is pre-paid alcohol for an event, the organiser can then take their pre-paid alcohol home which is usually collected at a later date.
The Sub-Committee queried if there was any history of people taking bottles off the vessel and Ms Nina Nico confirmed that this has not happened previously.
The Sub-Committee sought clarification about the food offering and how long a trip lasted. Ms Nico explained that trips lasted for 4 hours as a maximum and they do not insist that food is served but is available upon request.
In answer to questions from the Sub-Committee about the egress of people from the vessel and what the dispersal policy was. Ms Nico explained that it may not always be Temple Pier that people disembark from, and they point people to the nearest tube station. The Sub-Committee asked that if there was a terminal hour of 01:00 this is after the Temple tube station is closed at 00:30 and what steps for dispersal would be taken then?
Ms Nico stated they would direct people to national rail in that instance, but Mr Spanswick explained most of their parties tend to finish before midnight. He then confirmed that the terminal hour of 01:00 was to fall in line with the other 3 vessels that have the same terminal hour. The Sub-Committee asked how they would cope with a bottleneck developing when patrons left the vessel and Mr Spanswick confirmed that people tend to drift off slowly, thereby creating a steady and gradual flow of dispersal.
In answer to further questions from the Sub-Committee about staff directly employed, Ms Nico stated that 20 were directly employed, with 80 casual staff members, and they pay London Living Wage. The 80 casual staff are needed as the industry is seasonal. The casual staff are trained in all aspects of passenger safety by the Captain and are given a safety briefing with the bar manager providing bar training for them. All staff wear a uniform to make them recognisable to patrons in the event of an emergency.
PC Reaz Guerra from the Metropolitan Police Service addressed the Sub-Committee and explained their objection was on the grounds of public nuisance but said the other three vessels had caused very little concern previously. PC Guerra explained that not all staff members need to undertake the WAVE training. PC Guerra said most crimes in this area were committed towards the Leicester Square area and it was difficult to necessarily link these to the vessels moored on the embankment.
Mr Maxwell Koduah on behalf of the Environmental Health Service then addressed the Sub-Committee and explained this was an application outside of the Core Hours Policy and the Sub-Committee would need to consider this when in deliberations. Mr Koduah recommended a Condition amendment to Condition 21; that a register of all patrons on the vessel be held by the Applicant company.
Ms Nico interjected and explained this could sometimes be as many as 200 people on board and said they could ask the organiser to create this log but would be extremely difficult for themselves to create, and to then hold on to, in terms of organisation and data protection.
The Sub-Committee asked Mr Koduah if it was essential to know who was on the vessel, and he explained it was simply to be able to trace who had been on the vessel should an incident ever take place. The Sub-Committee asked if it was proportionate to ask the Applicant to keep a log of this? Mr Koduah understood the Applicants concerns around data protection but if this was kept by the person who booked or organised the event, this would be sufficient.
Turning to the issue of the noise limiter, Mr Koduah asked why there was no noise limiter on the lower deck and Ms Nico explained that the system was routed for the upper deck only. Ms Nico said music is played so infrequently on the lower deck, there has been no need for a noise limiter to be positioned there. When asked how this would be controlled, Ms Nico said the lower deck music would be monitored by staff. Mr Rankin said that the vessel has been licensed by the City of London for 13 years and has had no noise complaints made against it.
The Legal Advisor to the Sub-Committee then took the opportunity of discussing the issue of the proposed conditions featured in the agenda report. It was noted that a set of amended conditions had been submitted minutes prior to the start of the hearing by the parties which left very little time for the Sub-Committee to consider those conditions in full.
The Legal Advisor had also produced a list of proposed additional conditions which were in like form to the conditions imposed on the three other licences for the vessels known as Golden Flame, Golden Jubilee and Golden Star all licensed by Westminster and these too had to be considered by the Applicant and Responsible Authorities.
The primary concern of the Sub-Committee was to ensure that the conditions included but were not limited to the following important matters:-
· Dispersal and safety of patrons.
· CCTV.
· Capacity.
· Staff training.
· Noise emanating from the vessel.
· Challenge 21 policy.
· Security/SIA Door Supervisors.
The Sub-Committee adjourned to allow the Applicant and the Responsible Authorities to consider the full list of Conditions; those existing as per the operating schedule and those proposed, before returning to discuss these with Mr Rankin.
Conclusion
The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a grant of a New Premises Licence under the Act for a two decked passenger vessel moored on the Thames at Temple Pier. The vessel contains two bars, full-service galley, a dance floor and outside sun deck. The vessel is marketed as holding 240 passengers and is primarily used for family celebrations, corporate events, club nights and sightseeing cruises on the river Thames. Customers can choose from various drinks, food and entertainment options. The Applicant submitted a presentation of the proposals prior to the hearing and this was considered by the Sub-Committee in its determination of the matter.
The Sub-Committee realises that it has a duty to consider each case on its individual merits and did so when determining the application. The Premises is not situated in the West End Cumulative Impact Zone or Special Consideration Zone so there is no policy presumption to refuse the application.
The Sub-Committee noted that licences have been granted by the Licensing Authority to the same operator under delegated powers for 3 other similar vessels namely the Golden Flame, Golden Jubilee and Golden Star between the period 2017 and 2020 with similar conditions and are not binding upon the overall decision but helpful nonetheless to the Sub-Committee when considering the application.
However, when it comes to deciding what conditions are to be imposed on a Premises licence especially of this type the Sub-Committee must consider whether the conditions are appropriate and proportionate for the promotion of the licensing objectives. In this respect the Sub-Committee had regard to paragraphs 10.8 and 10.10 on page 78 of the Home Office Guidance.
The Sub Committee was pleased that the provision for the Off sale of Alcohol would not be linked to customers taking sealed bottles of containers away with them but instead where unused alcohol remains after an event, this is to be collected later by the customer. It was for this specific purpose the Sub-Committee understood that “Off sales” had been applied for. This was initially a cause for concern by the Honourable Society of Middle Temple who had raised this specific issue in point 4 of their representation.
The Sub-Committee noted that a comprehensive list of conditions had been agreed together with various additional conditions. The useful discussion during the hearing between the parties clarified many matters particularly the noise limiter condition which would be restricted to the upper deck and the training of staff including WAVE training by the DPS and management which is to be cascaded down to all casual and directly employed staff on the vessel where licensable activities are taking place.
The Sub Committee further welcomed the fact that the Applicant had been proactive in working with the Responsible Authorities and agreement had been reached regarding the proposed conditions.
The Sub-Committee, in its determination of the matter, concluded that the hours it imposed on the licence were appropriate for the Applicant’s style, nature and operation of the Premises and are consistent with the hours granted for the Golden Flame, Golden Jubilee and Golden star vessels. It further concluded that the extensive conditions it has imposed on the licence would alleviate the concerns of the parties that had objected to the application which are considered appropriate and proportionate and would help promote the licencing objectives as well as future proof the licence and make enforcement easier when it came to compliance of the conditions by the Applicant.
The Sub-Committee took comfort from the fact that the Applicant was an experienced operator with a proven track record that would help promote the licensing objectives.
The Sub-Committee was persuaded by the Applicant that they would be a responsible operator by having the necessary measures and safeguards in place that would help mitigate the concerns of those objecting and promote the licensing objectives particularly the public safety licensing objective as passenger safety was of paramount importance and the promotion of the public nuisance licensing objective when it came to noise emanating from the vessel and dispersal of customers after the late terminal hour.
Having carefully considered the committee papers and the submissions made by all the parties, both orally and in writing, the Committee has decided, after taking into account all the individual circumstances of this case and the promotion of the four licensing objectives: -
1. To grant permission for Late Night Refreshment (Indoors and Outdoors) Monday to Sunday 23:00 to 01:00 Seasonal Variations: On New Year's Eve finish time will be 04:00.
2. To grant permission for the Sale by Retail of Alcohol (On and Off Sales) Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 01:00 Seasonal Variations:On New Year's Eve finish time will be 04:00.
3. To grant permission for Live Music (Indoors and Outdoors) Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 01:00 Seasonal Variations:On New Year's Eve finish time will be 04:00
4. To grant permission for Recorded Music (Indoors and Outdoors) Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 01:00 Seasonal Variations: On New Year's Eve finish time will be 04:00
5. To grant permission for Anything of a similar description (Indoors and Outdoors) Monday to Sunday 09:00 to 01:00 Seasonal Variations: On New Year's Eve finish time will be 04:00
6. To grant permission for The Opening Hours of the Premises Monday to Sunday 07:00 to 01:00 Seasonal Variations: On New Year's Eve finish time will be 04:00
