Cumulative Impact Area?
West End Cumulative Impact Area
Ward
St James’s
Summary of Application
The Premises had been licensed since 2005 and currently operated as a bar to core hours in the West End Cumulative Impact Area. The Applicant sought permission for a new Premises Licence in order for the bar to trade to extended hours for a time limited period until the 31 December 2021. The application was in response to the current COVID-19 crisis. The hours requested would permit the sale by retail of alcohol between the hours of 10:00 and 02:00 Monday to Sunday.
Proposed Activities and Hours
Retail Sale of Alcohol [On and Off Sales]
Monday to Sunday 10.00 to 02.00
Late Night Refreshment [Indoors and Outdoors]
Monday to Sunday 23.00 to 02.00
Recorded Music
Monday to Sunday 10.00 to 02.00
Hours premises are open to the public
Monday to Sunday 08.00 to 02.30
Representations Received
· Metropolitan Police (PC Brian Hunter) – Now withdrawn · Environmental Health (Maxwell Koduah) · Licensing Authority (Karyn Abbot) · The Concert Artistes Association (Judith Quiney and Kay Nuttall)
Summary of issues raised by objectors
· The hours requested fell outside of the Council’s Core Hours Policy and would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance which may affect Public Safety in the West End Cumulative Impact Area.
· The surrounding area was residential in nature and granting the licence was likely to negatively impact on residents’ amenity.
Policy Position
The Premises was located within the West End Cumulative Impact Area and as such various policy points had to be considered, namely CIP1, HRS1 and PB2. The Applicant therefore had to demonstrate how the Premises would not add to cumulative impact in the West End cumulative impact area.
The Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy stated that it was of particular concern in Cumulative Impact Areas where there had been a growth in the number of premises that primarily served alcohol, resulting in or adding to cumulative impact. Therefore, the Licensing Authority considered that the grant of variations or new licences for pubs and bars in the cumulative impact area should be limited to exceptional circumstances.
In addition, the operating hours applied for licensable activities currently fell outside of Westminster’s core hours policy.
DECISION
Having considered all the submissions made by all parties, the Licensing Sub-Committee decided to grant the application subject to additional conditions, amendments to the hours and an amendment to the time period it could be active.
Members heard a description of the proposal from Mr Anderson. The Sub-Committee was advised that the ... view the full minutes text for item 1. |
