Late Night Refreshment (Indoors)

 

 

Monday to Saturday:                            23:00 to 23:30

 

 

 

Amendments to application advised at hearing:

 

 

Mr Thomas informed the Sub-Committee that late night refreshment had been withdrawn following discussions with the objectors to the application.

 

 

 

Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):

 

 

Licensable activities were sought on two barges which would be permanently moored next to each other on the Grand Union Canal.  The Sub-Committee was informed prior to hearing the case that there had been significant discussions between Mr Thomas, the Applicant’s Representative, Mr Brown, representing SEBRA and PWMVS, Mr Zamit of SEBRA and Ms Virgo of the PWMVS.  A number of proposed conditions had been agreed.

 

Mr Thomas advised that Ms Freeman owns three other premises in London with two being in the borough.  Ms Freeman stated that her Daisy Green concept was an Australian one involving healthy lifestyle including coffee, brunch and healthy lunches.  Her premises in the Nova development in Victoria also involved early evening, dinner and associated drinks options.  The Paddington Barges application included a restaurant boat and a café boat.  The café boat with bar would have a business centre with exhibition tables and interactive devices such as ipads.     

 

Mr Thomas said that the concerns of the objectors were whether the premises were a restaurant, a bar or something in between.  He wished to clarify in response to Mr Zamit’s concerns that his client did not want the barges to become a vertical drinking establishment.  He also made the point that the premises were not located in one of the Council’s designated cumulative impact areas.

 

Ms Freeman provided the information that there would be a staircase fixed between the café boat and the restaurant boat and if one reached the top deck it was possible to cross the gangplank between the two boats.  The top decks of the barges, which were open to the elements, would only be used in the summer months.

 

Mr Thomas stated that the Applicant had agreed with the objectors that the terminal hour for on and off sales of alcohol had been reduced to 23:00 Monday to Saturday and 22:30 on Sunday.  Mr Thomas informed the Sub-Committee that late night refreshment had been withdrawn following discussions with the objectors to the application.  He was seeking  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.

Amendments to application advised at hearing:

 

 

None.

 

 

 

Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):

 

 

The Sub-Committee heard from Mr Thomas, representing the Applicant.  He confirmed that Shaftesbury was applying as the landlord (it owned 300 restaurants) prior to announcing the tenant who would be operating the premises.  The tenant was likely to be known in the next two months.  Mr Thomas advised that Shaftesbury had strict lease terms and took a hard line on operators who breached them. 

 

Mr Kirk provided the additional information that the premises had previously been Jaeger House.  It was now being redeveloped as retail, offices, flats and the ground floor restaurant which was now being applied for.  The commercial element of the redevelopment, the retail and restaurant, was due to be completed in the next couple of months.  Shaftesbury saw this location as a great link between Carnaby and Soho.  There would be 24/7 security based in Kingly Court.  There were 50 CCTV cameras which would cover Carnaby and extend to this location as part of the redevelopment. He added that Shaftesbury took a healthy interest in how all of its premises were being operated.  The tenants needed to work in harmony with any residents and office occupiers in and around the premises.   

 

Mr Thomas expressed the view that the application set the tone for the tenant.  Whilst the future tenant operator would be able to apply for a change of layout, they would not be able to make significant changes to the conditions on the licence.  He informed the Sub-Committee that he had met with Mrs Liz Callingham who spoke on behalf of local residents, her concerns had been addressed and she had not made a representation.  Mr Kirk commented that he had met Dr Gill who is a committee member for the residents association at Stirling Court and he was maintaining his representation.

 

Mr Thomas referred to the fact that the proposed conditions included that the maximum capacity at the premises would be 150 excluding staff (there was no outside seating).  Whilst he recognised that the proposed hours went beyond the Council’s Core Hours policy in the West End Cumulative Impact Area, he made the point that there was a lower risk of crime in relation to restaurants.  The Applicant had  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.
