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

The Sub-Committee considered an application by Grosvenor Investments Ltd and Tarts Kitchen Ltd (Joint Applicants) for a new premises licence in respect of 11-19 Eccleston Place, London, SW1W 9NF.

The Licensing Officer provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee.

It was hoped the conditions agreed with the Responsible Authorities would allay the concerns raised by the resident.

Mr Rankin provided an overview of the Premises plans and confirmed that the capacity of the bar area would be limited to a maximum of 35 customers with a food offer available.

The Premises included two spaces where a deli food offer would be provided with all the food prepared onsite. In addition, there was also three small retail areas where it was hoped to provide a facility for off sales of alcohol. Bottles of beer and English wines would be available to purchase in these areas and it was recognised that it was these areas which the Responsible Authorities had expressed  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4
