Full Decision

 

Case Summary

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of the above Premises (“The Premises”). The Premises intends to operate as a hotel lobby bar at ground and lower ground floor level, ancillary to the use of the Premises as a hotel. The provision of licensable activities shall be to residents of the hotel and their bona fide guests only. The Applicant has proposed conditions to form part of the operating schedule that appears at Appendix 4 of the agenda report.

 

The Premises are located within the Lancaster Gate Ward. Neither the West End Cumulative Impact Zone nor Special Consideration Zone applies. There is no policy presumption to refuse applications outside of the West End CIZ.

 

The matter was assessed on its individual merits having regard to the evidence before the Licensing Sub-Committee and the promotion of the licensing objectives.

 

Representations were received from the Environmental Health Service, SEBRA, 5 local residents and two Councillors, one of which withdrew their representation all citing concerns regarding public nuisance and public safety.

 

There is a resident count of 144.

Summary of Representations

 

• I am concerned this will create serious noise pollution for our building. Drunken tourists sat outside the Blakemore Hotel which is 100 meter away from this hotel regularly keep my kids up at night and I imagine this, located much more closely opposite to our building, will be worse.
• I live in Flat 2, 22 Leinster gardens and having an outside sitting area will create tremendous disturbance on the street. There is enough disturbance already coming from hotels on this street and behaved loud tourist. I object strongly to this application.
• Living on Leinster Gardens is becoming increasingly intolerable as there are more than 10 hotels in the immediate vicinity - many of which attract poorly behaved tourists. The outside terrace in front of the Blakemore Hotel just 30 metres down the road is a case in point: hotel guests often drunkenly sit on the terrace, shouting and singing well into the night. Adding another bar (with late night music) will compound the misery for families with young children trying to secure sound sleep. Leinster Gardens and the immediate area must remain attractive to residents and families. The street already has a bar and pub, and need not attract even more noisy tourists from the surrounding area. Should the Council approve the application anyway, I would kindly request

the hotel is mandated to install effective sound isolation and is not allowed to host guests on the terrace.

• I am reaching out to express my opposition to licence application 23/02649/LIPN (23 Leinster Gardens). I am a resident living directly facing the Henry Hotel, and I strongly object to the proposed late-night bar opening. Leinster Gardens has become increasingly noisy due to the presence of multiple hotels and sometimes unruly guests. The outside terrace of the Blakemore Hotel, located just 30 meters down the road, is a prime example. Adding another bar, with late-night music, will only increase the discomfort for families with young children trying to secure a peaceful sleep. It is crucial that Leinster Gardens and the surrounding area remain appealing to residents and families as it's a local community. The street already has a bar and pub, and there is no need to attract even more noisy tourists from the surrounding areas. I therefore would like to oppose the projected changes.

• SEBRA is concerned on potential noise and disturbance from the premises, particularly from the large terrace and believe use of terrace should be limited to say, no later than 22.00.There is no indication of how many bona fide guests per hotel resident.

• Please could you note my support for SEBRA's objections. Agree on all counts.
• I would like to echo Cllr Ormsby's views on this. Key points are on restricting delivery, restriction on terrace use (due to the noise pollution impact) and the point on the off sales.

 

 

Policy Considerations

 

Policies HRS1 and HOT 1 (A) apply under the City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy (“SLP”).

 

Policy HRS1

 

A. Applications within the core hours set out below in this policy will generally be granted for the relevant premises uses, subject to not being contrary to other policies in the Statement of Licensing Policy.

B. Applications for hours outside the core hours set out in Clause C will be considered on their merits, subject to other relevant policies, and with particular regard to the following:

1. The demonstration of compliance in the requirements of policies CD1, PS1, PN1 and CH1 associated with the likelihood of the effect of the grant of a licence for later or earlier hours on crime and disorder, public safety, public nuisance and the protection of children from harm.

2. If the application is located within a Special Consideration Zone they have demonstrated that they have taken account of the issues identified in that area and provided adequate mitigation.

3. Whether there is residential accommodation in the proximity of the premises that would likely be adversely affected by premises being open or carrying out operations at the hours proposed.

4. The proposed hours of the licensable activities and when customers will be permitted to remain on the premises.

5. The proposed hours when any music, including incidental music, will be played.

6. The hours when customers will be allowed to take food or drink outside the premises or be within open areas which form part of the premises.

7. The existing hours of licensable activities and the past operation of the premises (if any) and hours of licensable premises in the vicinity.

8. Whether customers and staff have adequate access to public transport when arriving at and leaving the premises, especially at night.

9. The capacity of the premises.

10. The type of use, recognising that some venues are more likely to impact the licensing objectives than others; for example, pubs and bars are higher risk than theatres, cinemas and other cultural and sporting venues due to the nature of the operation.

11. The Licensing Authority will take into account the active measures proposed for a ‘winding down’ period including arrangements for people to be collected from the premises to travel home safely.

12. Conditions on hours may be attached that require that the supply of

alcohol for consumption on the premises ceases a suitable period of time before customers are required to leave the premises.

13. The council, acting as the Licensing Authority, may reduce hours if, after review, it is necessary to impose conditions specifying shorter hours in order to promote the licensing objectives.

14. Specific days for non-standard hours should be identified and justified as part of the application to allow responsible authorities and interested parties to evaluate the impact that these licensable activities may have, and to plan accordingly. The consideration of applications for later hours for Bank Holiday Mondays will take into

account that later hours are generally granted for preceding Sundays and that the next day is a working day. Non-specific days are expected to be covered by Temporary Event Notices or variation applications.

C. For the purpose of Clauses A and B above, the Core Hours for applications for each premises use type as defined within this policy are:

6. Pubs and bars, Fast Food and Music and Dance venues

Monday to Thursday: 10am to 11.30pm.

Friday and Saturday: 10am to Midnight.

Sunday: Midday to 10.30pm.

Sundays immediately prior to a bank holiday:

Midday to Midnight.

D. Core hours are when customers are permitted to be on the premises and therefore the maximum opening hours permitted will be to the same start and terminal hours for each of the days where licensable activity is permitted.

E. For the purposes of this policy, ‘premises uses’ are defined within the relevant premises use policies within this statement.

Note: The core hours are for all licensable activities but if an application includes late night refreshment, then the starting time for that licensable activity will be 11pm.

 

Policy HOT1

 

Applications outside the West End Cumulative Impact Zone will generally be granted subject to:

1. The application meeting the requirements of policies CD1, PS1, PN1 and CH1.

3. The operation of any delivery services for alcohol and/or latenight refreshment meeting the council’s Ancillary Delivery of Alcohol and/or Late-Night Refreshment Policy DEL1.

4. The sale by retail of alcohol, regulated entertainment and late-night refreshment must be an ancillary function to the primary purpose of the venue as a hotel.

5. The applicant has taken account of the Special Consideration Zone Policy SCZ1 if the premises are located within a designated zone.

C. For the purposes of this policy a Hotel is defined as a premises that is primarily used as an establishment providing overnight accommodation for customers.

 

 

SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS

 

Ms Roxsana Haq Presenting Officer outlined the application to the Sub-Committee. She advised that this is an application for a new premises licence in respect of 23 Leinster Gardens London W2 3AN. The application has been made by Order supply Limited represented today by Jack Spiegler of Thomas and Thomas partners. The Applicant seeks late night refreshment and the sale by retail of alcohol. Full details can be found at page 38 of the report bundle. Representations were received from the Environmental Health Service (Ms Sally Fabbricatore) and 6 representations were received from interested parties. In attendance today are Richard Brown, John Zamitt of SEBRA and Robin Martin local resident.

 

Mr Jack Spiegler Solicitor appearing on behalf of the Applicant addressed the Sub-Committee. He advised that the Applicant was a respected operator with a positive vision for the Premises.

Mr Spiegler said that the Applicant thanks John Zamitt for his engagement via emails and in a recent meeting on site as well as discussions had this morning. The Applicants’ amendments following Mr Zammit’s feedback is set out in the additional papers.

Mr Spiegler confirmed that the terminal hour for the terrace had been agreed at 22:00 hours. He referred the Sub-Committee to page five of the agenda report but no response was received.

Mr Spiegler advised that a conversation has been had with Mr Martin this morning and this has established a helpful new line of communication. Referring to the objections raised Mr Spiegler said that the concerns are noted, however, there are a number of licenced premises in the area. The Premises are not in a cumulative impact area, the nearby hotel is a different type of operation and is open to members of public.

Mr Spiegler said that the Premises will be a hotel, that is of a high quality fit out and at affordable prices attracting mainly the tourist market. In relation to the external terrace area, it is in the Applicant’s interests to control this efficiently because we do not want to disturb sleeping guests. Conditions 10,11 and 12 relate to the terrace which is to be used only by seated hotel guests.

Mr Spiegler said in terms of the amendments to the application these are as follows:-

• The capacity of the terrace has now been scaled back with a restricted hour of 22:00. 

• Off-sales of alcohol have been limited to hotel guest bedrooms only as per Condition 17.
• Condition 28 is now removed.
• Timing of servicing and deliveries is now reduced to 08:00.
• The number of bona fide guests is restricted to four.
• Model Condition (MC21) to be slightly adapted so that notices displayed at entry points where licensable activities may only be provided to hotel residents and their bona fide guests to respect the needs of local residents and use the area quietly.
• Model Condition (MC24) telephone condition has been offered.
• Model Condition (MC14) requiring doors and windows to be closed has been offered.

 

In answer to questions from the Sub-Committee Mr Spiegler said that the telephone number for the Premises can be given to the objectors who made the representations.  

Mrs Sally Fabbricatore on behalf of the EHS addressed the Sub-Committee. She advised that a site visit would be undertaken once the Premises is operating to confirm the capacity.

Mrs Fabbricatore said that off sales of alcohol limited to bedrooms is welcomed. In terms of the use of the external terrace this is more heavily restricted and a terminal hour of 22:00 is welcomed although external terraces elsewhere in the City is usually 23.00 however, it is noted that this is a residential area.

Mrs Fabbricatore confirmed that there was no nuisance history, only complaints in relation to construction noise. She advised that all residents are encouraged to contact the Council if they experience problems.

Mr Robin Martin a local resident of Leinster Gardens addressed the Sub-Committee. He said that the flats directly face the hotel and that the road is quiet and residential. The hotel and pub already referred to has caused noise pollution and granting this licence will only make matters worse. Mr Martin said that he respected the concessions made over the last few weeks.

Mr Martin said that 40 people on a small terrace less than 20 meters away from residents will cause disturbance. The reduction in hours is welcomed. Mr Robin said that children go to sleep at 20.30 so noise after this will cause an issue.

Mr Robin referred to an issue that happened last Sunday where outside the entrance of the hotel, pedicabs were blaring music and no one from the hotel took action.

In answer to questions from the Sub-Committee Mr Robin advised that he did not complain to the hotel directly because he was not sure who ran it but said that he had a history of complaining to the other hotel down the road and no one reacts.

Mr Brown appearing on behalf of local residents addressed the Sub-Committee. He advised that the issues have been narrowed down greatly and that the key area for concern for SEBRA is that the licence should be restricted to hotel guests. Residents welcomed the Applicants engagement with them.

Mr Brown said that in terms of the conditions the off sales condition should be amended meaning condition 17 is to be deleted. Condition ? dealing with the door and windows would help assist residents.

Mr John Zamit Chair of SEBRA addressed the Sub-Committee. Mr Zamit said he was not surprised there were resident objectors to the application. The terrace was a bone of contention because this was a large area and there could be the potential for nuisance. He said that he was confident if there were any complaints that a direct telephone number is provided.

Mr Zamit said that the conditions are strict in nature and the reductions made to the application are welcomed so SEBRA is hopeful. He said that it was a bit disturbing to hear about the recent incident described by Mr Robin.

In answer to questions from the Sub-Committee Mr Zamit confirmed that the area is not purely residential because there is a main shopping street and pub opposite. Therefore, 22:00 for the terrace is a good compromise as opposed to 21:30.

In answer to questions from the Sub-Committee Mr Spiegler said that the Applicant would like to maintain 22.00 for the terrace. Condition 34 anticipates the EHS setting the capacity. Mr Spiegler said that if the Sub-Committee were minded including the terrace area as well, this can be set by EHS and we could keep to a maximum of 40 people.

The Sub-Committee queried whether a terminal hour of 21:30 for the external terrace would be accepted but this was resisted by the Applicant.

Mrs Fabbricatore stated that the red line has been significantly reduced and there would be no consumption of alcohol beyond the red line. The Premises has more restrictions now than if it was non-licensed. She advised that a capacity is set from a public safety point of view, such as a means of escape and that 40 looks reasonable.

Mrs Fabbricatore said we can look at the floor space to see what is reasonable for public safety however I cannot decide on a public nuisance point and that should be left for the Sub-Committee to decide.

The Sub-Committee expressed the view on the number of tables and chairs and how they are to be laid out because larger tables will cause more noise. 

Mr Horatio Chance the Legal Advisor to the Sub-Committee went through the proposed conditions. He confirmed the following:-

• Condition 11 has been amended to read 22.00.
• Condition 12 - maximum of 40 patrons seated although 30 is preferable.
• Condition 15 is a general catch all in relation to nuisance.
• Model Condition MC19 – all outside table and chairs shall be rendered unusable at 22.00 each day.
• Condition 16 - only to the guests’ bedrooms.
• Condition 17 is to be deleted.
• Model Condition MC24 requiring a telephone number for the manager of the Premises is to be made available.
• Model Condition MC14 doors and windows.
• Model Condition MC23 - Notices shall be prominently displayed at all entrances stating that licensable activities shall only be provided to hotel residents and their bone fide guests. 

 

Conclusion

 

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

 

The Premises are to operate as a Hotel under Policy HOT1. The Sub-Committee noted that the Premises is not located within the West End CIZ nor Special Consideration Zone and so there is no policy presumption to refuse an application of this type provided that the licensing objectives are not undermined.

 

The Sub-Committee noted and welcomed that the Applicant had listened to those who had objected to the application and had amended it by reducing the terminal hour on the terrace as this would help reduce nuisance as well as the removal and amendment of certain other conditions.

 

The Sub-Committee had regard not only to the written and oral evidence but also to the requirements of the Act, The Guidance issued under section 182 of the Act and the City Councils SLP in the main policies HRS1 and HOT1.

 

The Sub-Committee considers that the conditions it has imposed on the

premises licence regarding CCTV by way of security, the capacity restriction

and terminal hour of the terrace until 22:00 hours, the fact that licensable

activities shall be ancillary to the main function of the premises as a hotel, and

that alcohol shall only be provided to hotel resident’s and their bona fide

guests in their bedrooms with no off sales for consumption off the premises,

deliveries and collections of waste to the Premises within permitted hours so

as to prevent nuisance to be appropriate and proportionate and will have the

overall effect of promoting the licensing objectives, in particular the

prevention of public nuisance and crime and disorder licensing objectives.

 

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