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

 

 

Shaftesbury, the Applicant, originally submitted applications in respect of seven premises which were included on the agenda for the Licensing Sub-Committee meeting on 31 July 2017.  Four applications were withdrawn prior to the meeting.  These were in respect of Units 9, 10, 11 and 12 Newport Court.  The three applications considered by the Sub-Committee at the meeting were for Units 13, 14 and 15 at Newport Place.  It was agreed at the meeting that the three applications should be heard together.

 

At the three premises, the Applicant was seeking late night refreshment (indoors), recorded music (indoors), on and off sales of alcohol and opening hours until 01:00 Monday to Saturday and midnight on Sunday (apart from Sundays immediately prior to Bank Holidays when 01:00 was applied for).  The Applicant was proposing conditions for the three premises that alcohol would be ancillary to a table meal and that customers would be seated and served by waiter or waitress except for a bar area.  The respective proposed capacities for Units 13, 14 and 15 would be 180, 200 and 220 respectively with the maximum numbers in the bar areas of the premises being 27, 30 and 33 respectively.

 

In order to obtain a licence for restaurants with bars and with significant cumulative impact in the West End Cumulative Impact Area until 01:00, the Applicant was offering to surrender licences for three premises with bars in Charing Cross Road.
