Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Entertainment Theatres Limited for a new premises
licence in respect of The Other Palace, 12 Palace Street, London,
SW1E 5JA.
The Licensing Officer provided
an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee and confirmed
that the Police had withdrawn their representation following
agreement of conditions with the applicant.
All parties were invited to
make representations to the Sub-Committee in relation to the
application. The parties responded to members’
questions and were given an opportunity to ask questions of each
other.
The Chairman confirmed that all
parties had received a substantial number of extra documents from
the applicant the day prior to the hearing but could not guarantee
that there had been sufficient time available for all parties to
consider this information. Ms Dowling, representing the applicant,
stated that the information provided collated already existing
information and did not contain anything new.
Ms Dowling explained how the
application contained small amendments to the ground floor area in
order to update the licencing plans. This included relocating the
box office area so it was nearer the bar so as to help avoid
congestion near the main doors. The application also sought to
update the conditions which were currently in operation on the
existing licence. The current conditions required simplifying as
they were considered quite complicated and technical, especially
with regards to the hours detailing the licensable hours. It was
hoped by updating them it would make the conditions more relevant
and enforceable. Concerning regulated entertainment, the
application proposed to reduce the hours this could ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by PLH Bars Limited for a variation of a premises
licence in respect of The Jermyn Club, 91 Jermyn Street, London,
SW1Y 6JT.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application and confirmed that the
Police had withdrawn their representation following discussions
with the applicant and the agreement of conditions. The
Sub-Committee was informed that a local resident had submitted a
representation within the required time period but this had not
been included in the report before the members. Mr Richard Brown of
the Citizens Advice Bureau confirmed that he would address the
Sub-Committee and detail the nature of the resident’s
objections.
Councillor Caplan
declared that he was the Chairman of the Licensing Sub-Committee
held on 2 March 2017 which considered a Sexual Entertainment Venue
(SEV) application for the same premises.
Mr Kolvin,
representing the applicant, explained that an application for an
SEV licence for the premises had been refused in March 2017 and the
premises had now been vacant for three years. The applicant was
keen to proceed with investing in the premises and had therefore
rethought the concept of the venue. It was now planned to change
the layout of the premises and create a first class licenced venue
comprising of a cocktail bar, a dining space and meeting areas
separated by glass partitions. This would all be set in a
comfortable environment in the style of a modern members’
club representing a significant upgrade to the current premises.
The kitchen had been refurbished and toilets had also been situated
in the basement for the first time. To the rear of the basement an
acoustic lobby had also been developed to provide further
protection to residents of Ormond Yard. In total the cost of the
refurbishment was approximately £2 million.
Mr Kolvin detailed the
main areas of the application. Firstly, it was ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by Host Coffee London LLP
for a new Premises licence in respect of 31
Henrietta Street, London, WC2E 8NA.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee and
confirmed that the applicant had withdrawn the provision of
recorded music from the application as their intention was to only
provide background music.
The Sub-Committee
asked the applicant if imposing a full restaurant condition on the
licence would be accepted. Mr Thomas explained that the premises
did not operate as a restaurant. It was new style of retail concept
which operated primarily as a coffee shop where customers would
also be able to buy a selection of coffee beans. It was planned to
now extend this offer to other specialised produce which the
customer would be able to consume on the premises and if they liked
it they could then purchase it to cook/prepare in their own home.
The application had been submitted as it was now intended to allow
customers to purchase and consume alcoholic drinks with their food.
The restaurant condition did not suit the style of operation they
were hoping to run. It would require customers to be seated with
waiter/waitress service and alcohol to be ancillary to food. This
premises was regarded as a retail premises selling products which
would be available for consumption by customers who would then be
able to purchase these specialised products. Any customers eating
at the premises where already shown to their seats by staff and
none of the crockery used was disposable. The intention of the
premises was to create a calm and amenable retail environment.
There would be one large table situated in the ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Sabrosa Creatividad Holdings Limited for a new
premises licence in respect of 64 Dean Street, London, W1D
4QQ.
The Licensing Officer provided
an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee and confirmed
that Environmental Health (EH) had withdrawn their representation
following discussions with the applicant.
Mr Thomas, representing the
applicant, explained that the restaurant was currently open and
operating under Temporary Event Notices (TENs). The restaurant had
a sharing concept however all meals could be considered
substantial. The applicant operated two other restaurants, both
located in Maiden Lane, and these contained ‘drinking
up’ hours once alcohol had ceased being served. The
application before the Sub-Committee was also requesting that the
premises remain open for thirty minutes longer than the terminal
hours requested for the sale of alcohol. This was in line with the
planning permission granted and would also allow the more gradual
dispersal of customers. The capacity of the premises was 40 persons
excluding staff.
Mr Thomas acknowledged that the
premises was located within a Cumulative Impact Area (CIA) however
it should be considered policy compliant. The premises would not
add to cumulative impact as the Council’s Licensing Policy
recognised that restaurants had less of an impact on levels of
crime and disorder and could therefore be treated differently to
pubs and bars. In terms of the opening hours the sale of alcohol
would be in line with the core hours’ policy and because it
was a restaurant allowing it to stay open for just an extra thirty
minutes would not add to cumulative impact. The hours had been
requested due to the nature of the operation; the positive effect
they would have on the dispersal of customers and also to help make
it financially viable.
The Licensing Authority
represented by Mr David Sycamore maintained its representation
based on policy concerns and the Sub-Committee had to decide
whether forty extra people in a CIA would add to cumulative
impact.
PC Day, representing the
Metropolitan Police, informed the Sub-Committee that the conditions
proposed by the applicant were considered acceptable. The
applicant’s other two premises on Maiden Lane had
