Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
|
This was an
application by a convenience store to sell groceries, sundry items
and alcohol for consumption off the premises. The Sub-Committee
granted the application, subject to conditions as set out
below.
Prior to the hearing
the Applicant had agreed proposed conditions with Environmental
Health, South East Bayswater Residents’ Association and
Paddington Waterways and Maida Vale Society. They had all subsequently withdrawn their
representations as the Applicant had addressed their
concerns.
Following the
withdrawal of the representations, Councillor Floru’s
representation, submitted in his capacity as a ward councillor, was
the sole remaining one. The
Sub-Committee considered that the Applicant had addressed the
concerns set out in his written representation including amending
the proposed hours for off-sales to Core Hours. The Applicant had also agreed to ensure that there
were no sales of super strength beer or cider above 5.5% or
miniatures of alcohol. There would also
be no self-service of spirits. A
Challenge 25 scheme would be in operation at all times.
The Sub-Committee was
satisfied that the application, with the proposed conditions
attached to the premises licence, would promote the licensing
objectives.

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
|
The existing premises licence
for Chutney Mary enabled the Applicant to operate the premises as a
restaurant (in keeping with the Council’s model restaurant
condition) except for a maximum of 20 seated customers being
permitted to have alcohol (served by waiter/waitress) without food
until 19:30 each day in a hatched area set out in the
plan. The Applicant was now seeking to
extend the supply of alcohol without food in an extended hatched
area until 22:00 each day (served by waiter/waitress) and to a
maximum of 30 seated customers.
The Sub-Committee heard from
Mr Baylis, representing the Applicant.
He described Chutney Mary at St James’s Street as a high end
restaurant which has an average spend of £90 per
head. He stated that his client had no
intention of turning the premises into a bar. Chutney Mary was indeed more commercially viable
as a restaurant. There had been the
option for customers to be able to have a drink without food at the
premises until 19:30 for the last six months or so and no issues
had arisen for local residents.
Mr Baylis referred to e-mail
correspondence with a local resident which had been submitted to
the Sub-Committee. This was in order to
demonstrate that the Applicant was in dialogue with local
residents. Local residents, including
the resident whose email correspondence had been forwarded to the
Sub-Committee, had objected to a previous application in 2016 to
enable up to 30 seated customers to be able to consume alcohol

Decision (including reasons if

|
|
The Sub-Committee
heard from Ms Tricker, representing the Applicant. She informed the Sub-Committee that off-sales of
alcohol had been withdrawn from the application. Ms Tricker also referred to the premises operating
in keeping with the Council’s model restaurant condition,
MC66. The food provided included
chicken seafood, pasta and meat. There
was a holding bar at the premises.
However, alcohol could only be consumed there prior to a
meal. There would be no vertical
drinking and no regulated entertainment at the premises.
Ms Tricker stated that
there were few residents in the vicinity of the premises and that
no residents had objected to the application. The Applicant as a tenant would be required to
minimise any noise due to user clauses in the lease. There would be hotel bedrooms on the upper
floor.
The Applicant had
agreed proposed conditions with Environmental Health and the
Metropolitan Police and the two Responsible Authorities had
subsequently withdrawn their representations. The remaining representation was from the
Licensing Authority. Ms Tricker said
that one of the proposed conditions Environmental Health had agreed
with the Applicant was a capacity of 430 for the
premises.
Ms Tricker made the
point that the proposed terminal hour of 01:00 Monday to Saturday
and midnight on Sunday was sought for the restaurant in the West
End Cumulative Impact Area in order to accommodate customers post
theatre as well as prior to a performance. She mentioned the Council’s policy on
restaurants, including that it was recognised that restaurants have
little association with crime and disorder. Also, the Police had not maintained their
representation.
The Sub-Committee
asked for clarification regarding the proposed numbers in the
holding bar area. Ms Tricker replied
that the requested number was 25 people which she added was less
than 5% of the total capacity. It was
possible to have a meal at the bar area. The concept was to give diners some
flexibility.
Ms Tricker commented
that customers were likely to leave when the meal was
finished. This she believed would mean
that there would be a gradual dispersal of customers so that they
would not all leave at 01:00. Ms
Tricker also expressed the view that the application would not add
to cumulative impact. It was the Applicant’s aim to attract
people who were already within the Cumulative Impact Area,
including post theatre customers. They
