Application for a New Premises Licence in respect of Crunchy Falafel Trocadero 13 Coventry Street London W1D 7DH 24/01392/LIPN
FULL DECISION
Summary of Application
The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a New Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”) in respect of Crunchy Falafel Trocadero 13 Coventry Street London W1D 7DH(“The Premises”). The Premises intends to operate as a kiosk shop used to sell sandwiches (some of which will be hot) and soft drinks in the St James’s Ward.
A previous premises licence application was made in respect of the Premises which was refused by the Licensing Sub-Committee in January 2024. The Applicant does not do deliveries and does not sell or supply alcohol from the Premises. The Applicant initially applied for late night refreshment until 02:00 hours however during the consultation period this has now been reduced to Westminster’s core hours.
There is a policy presumption to refuse an application of this type in the West End CIZ and so the onus is on the Applicant to state how the application will not add to cumulative impact.
There is a resident count of 26.

Representations Received

Summary of Representations Received:-
· The proposed licensable activities are likely to undermine the Prevention of Crime and Disorder licensing objective.
The premises is located at 13 Coventry Street, W1D 7DH, which is within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone (“CIZ”). The Police have concerns that a premises, which provides Late Night Refreshment until 02:00 hours every day of the week, will adversely impact the area.
The crime levels within the CIZ are significant. Coventry Street, which runs between Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus, 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, 13 Coventry 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. Furthermore, the applicant previously applied for Late Night Refreshment until 05:00, which was then reduced to 02:00. This application was refused by the Licensing Sub-Committee, as the applicant could not show they were an exception to the Policy. This new application is on similar terms.
· 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 council’s 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.
· 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 would 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 Area and as such various policy points must be considered, namely CIP1, HSR1 and FFP1.
· The applicant previously submitted an application for Late Night Refreshment until 5am this was subsequently reduced to 2am. The application was refused at Licensing Sub-Committee on the 11 January 2024 due to the applicant being unable to give the Committee any genuine, exceptional reasons why their discretion to be exercised to depart from the policy.
· The Decision from the Licensing Sub-Committee has been attached as Appendix A - LSC Full Decision.
· The Licensing Authority note that this application for Late Night Refreshment is on similar terms as the previous application however this still has very little detail in the operating schedule. Due to the nature of the premises being a Fast Food outlet the application falls within Westminster’s FFP1 (b, c, d) Policy.
· The operating hours applied for Late Night refreshment falls outside of Westminster’s core hours under Policy HRS1. The Licensing Authority encourages the applicant to reduce the hours to bring it in line with Westminster’s Core hours. The Licensing Authority has concerns regarding this premises and encourages the applicant to provide further submissions on how this will be operated and controlled to have no adverse impact on the cumulative impact area.
· The Licensing Authority notes that the applicant has proposed some conditions to support their application, however, can you explain how having these conditions and the operation of the premises will not add to cumulative impact within in the West End cumulative impact zone, in accordance with policy CIP1.
· The applicant must also demonstrate how they intend to manage any potential risks including where specific policies apply to the area and how the policy impacts on their application and what measures will be in place to mitigate the impact and must consider all factors which may be relevant to promote the licensing objectives.
· The Licensing Authority would like the applicant to provide further submissions to the questions above to be able to assess any further relevant policy considerations.
· The Licensing Authority encourages the applicant to provide further submissions as to how the premises will not add to cumulative impact in the West End cumulative impact area, in accordance with policy CIP1.
· The Licensing Authority looks forward to receiving further submissions from the applicant in due course. Please accept this as a formal representation. The Licensing Authorities supporting document appears at Appendix 3.
Policy Considerations
Policies CIP1, HRS1 and FFP1 apply under the City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy (“SLP”).
Policy CIP1
A. It is the Licensing Authority’s policy to refuse applications within the
West End Cumulative Impact Zone for: pubs and bars, fast food
premises, and music and dancing and similar entertainment, other than
applications to:
1. Vary the hours within Core Hours under Policy HRS1, and/or
2. Vary the licence to reduce the overall capacity of the premises.
C. Applications for other premises types within the West End Cumulative
Impact Zones will be subject to other policies within this statement and
must demonstrate that they will not add to cumulative impact.
D. For the purposes of this policy the premises types referred to in Clause
A are defined within the relevant premises use policies within this
statement.
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 FFP1 (B)
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 council’s
Core Hours Policy HRS1, and/or,
2. Applications that seek to vary the existing licence so as to reduce
the overall capacity of the premises.
C. The applications referred to in Clause B1 and B2 will generally be
granted subject to:
1. The application meeting the requirements of policies CD1, PS1,
PN1 and CH1.
2. The operation of any delivery services for alcohol and/or late night
refreshment meeting the council’s Ancillary Delivery of Alcohol and/or
Late-Night Refreshment Policy DEL1.
3. The application and operation of the venue continuing to meet the
definition of a Fast Food Premises in Clause D.

SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS
Mrs Sandra Robbie, Presenting Officer, outlined the application to the Sub-Committee. She advised that representations had been received from the MPS, EHS and the LA. She confirmed that the Premises is located within the West End Ward and in the West End CIZ.
Ms Sarah Webb appearing on behalf of the Applicant outlined the application to the Sub-Committee. She advised that she was a sexual violence advocate for the LGBT community and had knowledge and experience of the West End area. She explained that the Applicant wished to serve the local community and the people already in the West End by providing them with food on their way home from their night out. She outlined that the Applicant would create a dispersal policy and would employ a security guard with a body camera to help successfully disperse people out of the area. She emphasised that there would be no more than a maximum of 10 people in the queue at any one time.
Ms Webb explained that the Premises was situated under quite a dark walkway which could be easily targeted by pickpockets, so having Crunchy Falafel open later at night would reduce this type of crime from happening as this would signify a presence and activity. She advised that the Applicant had also asked the landlord to change the solid shutter of the front of the Premises to a glass one which would also enhance the vicinity and the walkway. She confirmed that the Premises was in a good location for foot traffic and people making their way home after a night out. She advised that the Premises had 24-hour CCTV and would be displaying the ‘Ask for Angela’ logo to indicate that they were a place of safety for vulnerable people.
Mr Youssef Zueiter for the Applicant advised that he had worked in Soho for 15 years and that the additional 30 minutes/one hour would help support the business because during the day the competition from other food establishments was fierce. He confirmed that he was in contact with the landlord to update the shutter in order to upgrade the Premises. He outlined that there was no actual cooking on the Premises and that food was heated up for customers. This took less than 3 minutes so customers were never kept around waiting so there was never a long queue. He advised that his staff, as well as himself, often cleaned the outside area to ensure that it remained clean and tidy and that he was committed to keeping the public safe.
Ms Webb advised that the additional 30 minutes/hour would enable the economic growth of the business which was important because of the loss of income suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic. She added that it also meant that the Applicant could provide permanent employment for his employees. She explained that the Premises’ food offer was unique and therefore offered choice and diversity within the West End area. She requested that the Sub-Committee grant the application accordingly.
In response to questions from the Sub-Committee, Ms Webb and Mr Zueiter confirmed that they were applying to extend Late Night Refreshment in order to increase income and improve the business and actual Premises within the dark walkway.
PC Adam Deweltz appearing on behalf of the MPS addressed the Sub-Committee. He advised that the MPS had maintained their representation as the granting of this application would likely undermine the Prevention of Crime and Disorder licencing objective. He outlined that the Premises was located within the West End CIZ and the crime levels within the CIZ were significant. He added that Coventry Street which runs between Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus was already saturated by late night Premises which was a hot spot generally for crime and disorder in the area.
PC Deweltz explained that hot food and drink were attractive to revellers and kept people within the CIZ longer than necessary which made them a potential target for robberies and assaults. He added that general anti-social behaviour would also increase with people queuing for food outside of these Premises and the MPS were already struggling to cope with the excessive crime levels within the West End area. He advised that he welcomed that the Applicant had brought the hours back and would employ a security guard with a body camera however the MPS were still opposed to the granting of this application. He added that if the Sub-Committee were minded granting the application the Police would want specific conditions regarding security staff, CCTV and a Dispersal Policy imposed on the Premises Licence.
In response to questions from the Sub-Committee, PC Deweltz advised that the photographs he had submitted were to highlight the dark walkway and the issues of homelessness in the area. He advised that there was no crime and disorder associated with the kiosk, however the MPS feared that the offer of hot food would bring additional people into the area that would otherwise not be there if the kiosk were closed.
In response to questions from the Sub-Committee, Mr Zueiter advised that after the Premises closed the security guard (SIA) would remain for 30 minutes to help disperse people away from the area. He confirmed that the SIA would be employed for three hours each evening which gave additional security to the area. He also confirmed that he was happy to keep an incident log. He added that he felt that the area would become a much safer place if the establishment were to remain open as it would deter crime and disorder due to the CCTV being in operation 24/7. He advised that he visited the Premises most days and sometimes actually worked in the kiosk. He emphasised that he wanted the Premises Licence to increase his income but also at the same time ensuring that he was promoting the licensing objectives and satisfying the concerns of the Responsible Authorities who objected to the application.
Ms Karyn Abbot appearing on behalf of the LA addressed the Sub-Committee. She advised that due to the nature of the Premises being a Fast-Food outlet the application falls within Policy FFP1 (b, c, d) of the City Councils SLP. She outlined that unfortunately the Premises was located in one of the worse areas of the West End for crime and disorder and emphasised how narrow the pavement was outside of the Premises. She considered that not everyone walked away to eat their takeaway food and that some would stand eating on the pavement which could lead to the blocking of the pavement. She added that there was also no means of escape for staff or customers if an incident occurred which was cause for concern for the Licensing Authority. She advised, therefore, that the Applicant needed to demonstrate how he intended to manage any potential risks and what measures would be put in place to mitigate the impact and promote the licensing objectives. She advised that the LA welcomed that the Applicant had brought the hours back however the LA still believed that the application should be refused.
Mr Maxwell Koduah appearing on behalf of the EHS addressed the Sub-Committee. He advised that the EHS had maintained their representation as the granting of the application would likely cause an increase in Public Nuisance and may impact Public Safety in the West End CIZ. He outlined that people queuing for hot food would cause obstruction and enhance the increase in public nuisance. He advised that signage should be displayed making people aware of the maximum number of people allowed to queue and that the security staff would need to be outside turning people away and helping with dispersal in the area. He advised that if the Sub-Committee were minded granting the application then Model Condition MC98 should be imposed on the Premises Licence.
Mr Koduah explained that even with the Premises open the area was still boxed off and there would still be a risk of people walking around the area and down the walkway. He outlined that the Applicant needed to have regard to the narrow width of the pavement and how he was going to prevent customers from spreading out across the pavement. He emphasised that the area was not very residential, however, the concern was the possible obstruction to the flow in the area. He emphasised that it was for the Applicant to demonstrate that they would not increase the risk to public safety.
In response to further questions from the Sub-Committee, Mr Zueiter advised that he was happy to put up adequate signage and barriers to indicate the end of the queue. He confirmed that the security guard would play a major role in ensuring that there was only 10 people queuing at any one time and would prevent people standing around eating their food in the immediate vicinity. He emphasised that once people brought their takeaway food they would be encouraged to move on straight away. He advised that if ever there was an incident the staff would be safe as they could close the kiosk’s window and lock the doors until the Police arrived.
Mr Zueiter advised that he did not currently have any security staff and there had never been any incidents. He considered that with the additional 30 minutes/hour depending on the day he would be able to serve an extra 20 customers. He emphasised how the Premises was going to promote community engagement and partnerships and help vulnerable people by giving out free water and helping them get home at night.
Mr Horatio Chance the Legal Advisor to the Sub-Committee went through the proposed and possible additional conditions with the Applicant and Responsible Authorities and agreed to the wording of conditions if the Sub-Committee were minded granting the application. These included a condition requiring that the Applicant was not to have takeaway deliveries from the Premises and a dispersal policy is to be implemented.
During his summing up, Mr Koduah advised that as the area outside of the Premises was public highway the Applicant would need to apply for the necessary permission to place a barrier on the pavement.
During his summing up, PC Deweltz advised that he believed that the application should be refused due to the excessive crime levels within this area.
During her summing up, Ms Webb confirmed that Mr Zueiter would not be selling alcohol and did not intend to provide delivery of takeaway food and was happy to accept a condition restricting the same.
Conclusion
The Sub-Committee realises that it has a duty to consider each application on its individual merits and did so for the purposes of this application. It was not bound by the previous Decision of another Licensing Sub-Committee which heard the matter on the 11 January 2024 and had been produced as part of the Licensing Authority’s evidence.
It does not automatically follow that just because an application was refused in the past that the same Decision would be arrived at as each application rests on differing facts and considerations.
The Sub-Committee had regard not only to the written and oral evidence but also to the Act, the Revised Home Office Guidance issued under section 182 of the Act and the City Council’s SLP, in particular policies CIP1, HRS1 and FFP1.
The Sub-Committee noted that there is a presumption to refuse an application of this type within the West End CIZ, however, because the licensable hours were scaled back to core hours this meant that the Applicant was not required to prove exceptional reasons but rather would the granting of the application lead to cumulative impact in the West End CIZ and therefore undermine the licensing objectives. There was no evidence to suggest that the Premises would be a problem operating until the later terminal hour despite the concerns raised by the Responsible Authorities.
The Sub-Committee noted that Conditions had been agreed with the Responsible Authorities namely the MPS, EHS and the LA although each of the Responsible Authorities were asking for refusal of the application.
The Sub-Committee noted the concerns of the RA’s but this was not an application which merited an outright refusal based on the evidence presented. The Applicant had reduced late night refreshment to Westminster Core Hours and accordingly this came within the HRS1 Policy which states that consideration will be given to such hours. Further, there was no obligation on the Applicant to prove exceptionality but rather that the licensing objectives would not be undermined by taking steps to ensure the Premises was well managed at the later terminal hour.
The Sub-Committee was persuaded that the Applicant would be nothing other than a good and responsible operator that would help promote the licensing objectives. On this basis it decided that the additional hours applied for was justified given the assurances the Applicant has given and preventative measures by way of proposed conditions when it came to selling hot food late at night.
The Sub-Committee having carefully considered the matter and the evidence before it decided to Grant the Premises Licence with the licensable activities applied for and to core hours. The Sub-Committee considered that this was the right balance when considering the objections from all three Responsible Authorities and for the start time and terminal hours accordingly having regard to the s.182 Guidance and the City Councils SLP.
The Sub-Committee noted the various undertakings and commitments given by the Applicant into the daily running of the Premises and the robust management practices the Applicant was to employ given his extensive experience of operating premises in the West End, as well as the many offered conditions which would have the desired effect of promoting the licensing objectives.
The Sub-Committee considers that the conditions it has imposed on the premises licence to include CCTV and SIA by way of security, log incident records, queues signage, a direct telephone number for the manager of the Premises, and collections of waste to the Premises within permitted hours so as to prevent nuisance and the inclusion of Model Conditions 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.
In reaching its decision, the Sub-Committee concluded that the conditions now attached to the licence would mitigate and alleviate the concerns of the parties who had objected and were appropriate, proportionate, enforceable and would have the desired effect of promoting 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 (Outdoors) Monday to Thursday 23:00 to 23:30 Friday to Saturday 23:00 to 00:00

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