The Sub-Committee has determined and application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of 31 Wardour Street London W1D 6PT.  The Premises intends to operate as a shop/café.

Representations Received

 

• The Licensing Authority (Jessica Donovan).
• Environmental Health Service (EHS) (Kudzy Mondhlani).
• Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) (PC Adam Deweltz)

 

Summary of Representations

 

• The supply of alcohol may have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance in the area and may also impact on Public Safety in the West End CIZ.
• The provision of late-night refreshment may have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may impact on Public Safety in the West End CIZ.
• The granting of this application as presented may have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may also impact on Public Safety in the West End CIZ.

• The premises is located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone and as such various policy points must be considered, namely CIP1, HRS1 and FFP1. The Licensing Authority notes that the applicant is seeking to reinstate premises licence 07/10675/WCCMAP due to the licence lapsing but after further investigation it appears that the licence has not lapsed and was surrendered by the applicant in July 2023. It is noted that the application has been made on the same terms and conditions as premises licence 07/10675/WCCMAP.
• The Licensing Authority require the applicant to provide submissions as to how the operation of the premises will not add to cumulative impact in the West End cumulative impact zone, in accordance with policy CIP1.
• The Police have concerns that a new premises, which provides Late Night Refreshment until 05:00 hours every day of the week, will adversely impact the area. The crime levels within the CIZ are significant. Wardour Street, in particular, is already saturated by late night premises, which bring crime and disorder to the area. The Police would like people dispersed from the area, however, 31 Wardour Street, would likely keep people remaining in the vicinity because hot food and drink is attractive. This can make revellers a target for robberies and assaults. General Anti-Social Behaviour could also increase.
• The police are already struggling to cope with the excessive crime levels within the West End. Westminster’s Statement of Licensing Policy 2021 states under its Fast Food Premises Policy (“FFP1”) section B: “It is the Licensing Authority’s policy to refuse applications within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone other than: 1. Applications to vary the existing Licence hours within the councils core hours policy HRS1.” The Police request that that the licensing sub-committee take into account all the above points, and we respectfully ask that this application is refused.
•  

Policy Considerations

 

Policies HRS1 and SHP1 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:

11a.Shops (all licensable activities that are provided as

ancillary to the primary use of the premises as a shop except

the off sale of alcohol)

Monday to Thursday: 9am to 11.30pm.

Friday and Saturday: 9am to Midnight.

Sunday: 9am to 10.30pm.

Sundays immediately prior to a bank holiday: 9am to Midnight.

11b.Shops (off-sales of alcohol where it forms either the

Ancillary or primary use of the premises)

Monday to Saturday: 8am to 11pm.

Sunday: 9am to 10.30pm.

 

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 SHP1

 

B. Applications for a shop inside the West End Cumulative Impact

Zone will be considered on their own merits and subject to:

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

PN1 and CH1.

2. The hours for licensable activities are within the council’s Core

Hours Policy HRS1.

3. The operation of any delivery services for alcohol meeting the

council’s Ancillary Alcohol and/or Late-night Refreshment

Delivery Service Policy DEL1.

4. The applicant having demonstrated that they will not add to

cumulative impact within the Cumulative Impact Zone.

5. The application and operation of the venue meeting the definition

of a shop in Clause C.

C. For the purposes of this policy:

1. A shop is defined as a stall, vehicle, vessel, temporary structure,

building or part of a stall, vehicle, vessel, temporary structure or

building where the primary activity is the sale of goods or services to

customers upon payment.

2. The licensable activities for the sale of alcohol for consumption on

the premises, regulated entertainment and/or late night refreshment

must be ancillary to the primary use of the premises as a shop.

3. The licensable activity of the sale of alcohol for consumption off

the premises must be an ancillary function to the primary use of the

premises unless that primary use is to sell alcohol for consumption

off the premises, e.g. a traditional off licence.

 

Submission and Reasons

 

1. Ms Roxsana Haq the Presenting Officer introduced the application.  She advised that this was an application for a new premises licence.  She confirmed that the previous licence holder for the premises had surrendered the licence in July 2023.

 

2. Mr Alun Thomas Solicitor, representing the Applicant, Shaftesbury Ci Limited outlined the application to the Sub-Committee. He advised whilst the Applicant had submitted a new application, it was for the same licensable activities and hours as had been permitted on the previous licence at the Premises.  It was his submission that the application would not add to cumulative impact as the premises licence had been surrendered approximately two months before the landlord had become aware of the fact and had submitted the new application.

 

3. Mr Thomas stated that it had been an error on the part of the City Council that his client had not been notified under Section 178 of the Act when the previous premises licence had been surrendered.  Had Shaftesbury as a responsible landlord known about the surrender of the premises licence they would have had a 28 day window to submit a transfer application but were not given this opportunity.

 

4. Mr Thomas acknowledged that the Council’s SLP did not refer to instances of surrendered licences directly.  However, he believed this particular situation was comparable to cases where licences lapsed due to insolvency which the Council would generally grant if it was considered that the replacement of the previous premises licence would promote the licensing objectives. It was similarly a licence lost to the landlord for reasons outside their control.  He added that there had been no issues at the Premises.  He expressed the view that the grounds for the replacement of the licence were an exception to policy if the Sub-Committee required an exception to policy to grant the application.

 

5. Mr Thomas raised a technical point as to whether the premises licence had in fact been correctly surrendered by the previous licence holder in the event it was only confirmed by e-mail and not formally in writing and if the original licence was not returned. 

 

6. The Sub-Committee was advised by the Licensing Authority that most notifications of the surrender of premises licences were received by e-mail and this was deemed common practice and therefore an acceptable method of notification by the Licensing Authority.

 

7. Mr Horatio Chance the Legal Advisor to the Sub-Committee clarified whether the Licensing Authority whether the premises licence has been surrendered and it was confirmed that the Licensing Authority did consider the licence to have been validly surrendered.

 

8. Mr Thomas referred to the conditions in the event the Sub-Committee was minded granting the application.  He expressed the view that because the Applicant would have transferred the licence had they been informed of the surrender within the 28 day window, the conditions should be transferred across from the surrendered licence in their entirety.  However, he had no objection to specific conditions being updated in line with the Council’s model conditions.

 

9. The Applicant’s proposed conditions were set out in Thomas & Thomas’ ‘Summary of Proposals’ at Appendix 2 of the main report.  Mr Thomas advised that having discussed the matter further with the MPS, he would have no objection if the Sub-Committee was minded to attach the model conditions namely; MC30 and MC85 (‘No single cans or bottles of beer or cider or spirit mixtures shall be sold at the premises’ and ‘No miniature bottles of spirits of 20 cl or below shall be sold from the premises’) in the event the application was granted.

 

10. Mr Thomas also referred to the EHS proposed conditions set out in the Additional Information Pack.  The majority of these were model condition updates from the conditions on the previous licence should the Sub-Committee be minded granting the application.  He explained that Applicant  did not wish to agree a condition that ‘the licensable activities authorised by this licence and provided at the premises shall be ancillary to the main function of the premises as a night café’ because it would change the nature of the use from before and was not a re-wording of the Rules of Management condition. 

 

11. Mr Thomas was content to agree EHS other proposed update model conditions but his preference was that two additional conditions, MC24 and MC87 (‘A direct telephone number for the manager at the premises shall be publicly available at all times the premises is open. This telephone number and/or is to be made available to residents and businesses in the vicinity’ and ‘No fumes, steam or odours shall be emitted from the licensed premises so as to cause a nuisance to any persons living or carrying on business in the area where the premises are situated’) were not attached in the event of a grant.

 

12. It was clarified by Mr Thomas in response to questions from the Sub-Committee that the surrender of the licence had only come to light in October 2023 when an annual review of licences had taken place.  It had been discovered that the licence had been surrendered and had not been advised by the Council.  The previous Licence Holder had not been permitted under agreed covenants to surrender the licence without Shaftesbury’s consent but had proceeded to do so. 

 

13. Mr Thomas stated that he believed the premises had operated as a shop.  It had a grocery counter and there was no customer seating.  Takeaway of hot food and drink had previously been permitted until 05:00 hours.  Whilst he acknowledged that the application would have been unlikely to have been granted under the current policy, he commented that he was seeking to reinstate or replace the licence rather than seek a brand new licence in the CIZ.  In the event the licence was granted, it would be transferred from the landlord to an appropriate tenant who was yet to be confirmed.

 

14. Mr Aaron Hardy the Policy Advisor to the Sub-Committee was asked by the Sub-Committee to advise which premises use policy was applicable to the premises.  Mr Hardy advised that he considered that Policy SHP1 (Shops Policy) was applicable.  The licence if granted could allow policies SHP1 and FFP1 (Fast Food Premises Policy) depending on the nature of the operation and the operator.

 

15. Mr Thomas confirmed that he did not accept that Sunrise had been a night café and this was why he resisted the EHS proposed condition.  He expressed the view that attaching such a condition to the licence would not be of benefit to the Licensing Authority, the Applicant or any future tenant.

 

16.  The Sub-Committee heard from Ms Jessica Donovan on behalf of the Licensing Authority (LA).  The LA was maintaining its representation as the establishment was located in the West End CIZ.  Ms Donovan referred to the fact that the Applicant was relying on Paragraphs B15 and D21 of the Council’s SLP in terms of putting forward the case for the replacement of the previous licence.  However, the premises licence had been surrendered and the application needed to be determined on its own merits.  It was for the Sub-Committee to consider whether the application would add to cumulative impact in the CIZ.

 

17. It was accepted by the LA in response to a question from the Sub-Committee that the Applicant should have been notified of the surrender of the premises licence.

 

18. The Sub-Committee was advised by Ms Kudzy Mondhlani that the EHS was maintaining its representation based on the location of the premises in the CIZ and the terminal hour for Late Night Refreshment of 05:00.  She had proposed model conditions MC24 and MC87 because she was of the view that there was the possibility of public nuisance based on the terminal hour. She added that there had been no record of complaints in relation to the previous operation of the premises.

 

19. The Sub-Committee heard from PC Steve Muldoon on behalf of the MPS.  He explained that it had been necessary for the MPS to consider the application as a new application in the West End CIZ.  He confirmed that he had agreed conditions with the Applicant, including model conditions MC30 and MC85, in the event the Sub-Committee was minded granting the application.  PC Muldoon also clarified that the proposed terminal hour of 23:00 Monday to Saturday and 22:30 on Sunday for off licence was not of concern but 05:00 for Late Night Refreshment was.  He commented that the area had become busier with many more late night venues than when the previous premises licence had been granted in 2007.  He proposed a terminal hour of midnight for Late Night Refreshment as it had the potential for people to leave late night bars or clubs, congregate in the street when consuming the hot food and drink and remain in the West End CIZ.  Wardour Street was in terms of the statistics a crime hotspot.

 

20. PC Muldoon in response to a question from the Sub-Committee confirmed that the MPS were not aware of any issues or incidents in relation to the previous operation of the premises.

 

21. Mr Thomas clarified that he had no objection to conditions on the previous premises licence that did not have proposed model condition updates being added to the new licence if granted.  This included that ‘No more than (15)% of the sales area shall be used at any one time for the sale, exposure for sale, or display of alcohol’.

 

22. Ms Kudzy Mondhlani brought to the Sub-Committee’s attention that MC87 was sought as there would be a change of tenant and it was not known at this stage how intensive the cooking would be which was why she was seeking the ‘No fumes, steam or odours shall be emitted’ proposed condition.  Mr Thomas responded that he did not object to the condition being attached based on the reasoning given.

 

23. In his summing up, Mr Thomas re-iterated the point that the licence should not have been permitted to lapse.  He was able to provide further information that the previous licence holder was believed to have been arrears in paying rent at the Premises. Mr Thomas also stated that it was the case that Section 28 of the Licensing Act 2003 did require the premises licence holder, if he or she wished to surrender the licence, to give the relevant licensing authority a notice to that effect.  The notice also needed to be accompanied by the premises licence or, if that was not practicable, by a statement of the reasons for the failure to provide the licence.  Mr Thomas did add that the Applicant  had received confirmation from the Licensing Authority that the surrender of the licence had been accepted.

 

Conclusion

 

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

 

25.The Sub-Committee had regard not only to the written and oral evidence but also to the requirements of the Act, The Home Office Guidance issued under section 182 of the Act and the City Councils SLP in the main policies HRS1 and RNT1.

 

26.The Premises operated as a shop under Policy SHP1 and so there is no policy presumption to refuse an application of this type provided that the licensing objectives are not undermined.

 

27.The Sub-Committee, having carefully considered the circumstances relating to the reasons for the application, decided to GRANT the application, subject to conditions. It was considered that the application was appropriate for the area and that it would not add to cumulative impact because the previous premises licence would have been transferred had the Applicant been correctly notified within the 28 day window of the former licence holder’s surrender of the licence and the application was in fact to reinstate what was previously there and so would not add to cumulative impact in the West End CIZ.

 

28.The Sub-Committee decided to attach the conditions that were on the previous premises licence and also replace those with the Council’s Model Conditions where applicable as proposed by the Responsible Authorities. 

 

29.The Sub-Committee did not consider it appropriate nor proportionate to add the proposed condition that ‘the licensable activities authorised by this licence and provided at the premises shall be ancillary to the main function of the premises as a night café’ as it was likely the operation was still covered by the licence and it was not a re-wording of the Rules of Management condition.

 

30.In reaching its decision, the Sub-Committee concluded that the conditions attached to the licence would mitigate and alleviate the concerns of the Responsible Authorities who had objected and were appropriate, proportionate, enforceable and would promote the 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:          

 

1.        To grant permission for Late Night Refreshment (Indoors) Monday to Sunday 23:00 to 05:00. Seasonal Variations: None.

 

2.        To grant permission for the Sale by Retail of Alcohol (Off the Premises)Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 23:00 Sunday 10:00 to 22:30 Seasonal Variations:  On weekdays, other than Christmas Day 08:00 to 23:00, On Sundays, other than Christmas Day 10:00 to 22:30, On Christmas Day 12:00 to 15:00 and 19:00 to 22:30 on Good Friday 08:00 to 22:30.

 

3.        To grant permission for the Opening Hours of the Premises Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 05:00 Sunday 10:00 to 05:00 Seasonal Variations: None.

 

4.        That the Licence is subject to any relevant mandatory conditions.
