Ms Eames, representing the
Applicant, informed the Sub-Committee that her client was now
planning to phase in the scheduled refurbishment with the major
changes likely to take place in the New Year (see decision
below).

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
|
|
The Sub-Committee initially heard from Ms
Eames. She stated that
Caprice Holdings, the Applicant, which owned
premises including Scotts, J Sheekey and Sexy Fish, had acquired
the premises at 8-10 North Audley Street in March 2016. She explained that the Applicant is
currently trading at Mayfair Garden and it would continue to be
operated as a Chinese restaurant. Ms Eames informed the Sub-Committee
that her client was now planning to phase in the scheduled
refurbishment with the major changes likely to take place in the
New Year. A lot of works
had already taken place at the premises including back of house
improvements to assist in pest control and ensure fire
safety. It was intended that some
further changes would take place which would not need licensing
consent such as updating the furniture and the bar
fittings.
Ms Eames advised that
it had been intended that all aspects of the application would be
dealt with at the same time (as had been discussed with
Environmental Health when pre-application advice had been
sought). The premises would be closed
and it was hoped that it would be able to open subject to works
conditions being approved by the Environmental Health Consultation
Team. However, Ms Eames explained that
despite the decision to delay certain aspects of the scheduled
refurbishment with the plans variation not taking effect
immediately, her client was keen to proceed with the proposed
amendments to conditions which it was hoped could be considered at
the hearing. She clarified that the
existing premises licence permitted the licence holder to sell
alcohol from the end of permitted hours on New Year’s Eve to
the start of permitted hours on the following day. The Applicant was seeking that the New Year hours
were also operational for the provision of late night refreshment
as well as the opening hours. The
Applicant also sought an additional hour to the terminal hour on
the ...

Decision (including reasons if

|

There were three aspects to the application. Firstly the Applicant sought to bring forward the
commencement hour on Sundays for on-sales from midday to
10:00. Secondly, the Applicant applied
to add the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises from
10:00 hours to midnight Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 23:30 on
Sundays. This was subject to a condition that such off-sales should
be in sealed containers only and supplied with andn ancillary to a
takeaway meal for delivery only. Thirdly, the Applicant proposed to
bring forward the opening hours from 10:00 to 08:00 Monday to
Saturday and 12:00 to 08:00 on Sundays.
Mr Sycamore clarified that The Soho Society’s objection to
the application was due to the earlier proposed commencement hour
for on-sales on Sundays being prior to Core Hours in the West End
Cumulative Impact Area.
Ms Jung, representing the Applicant, provided some
background information to the application. Jackson and Rye had been operating at 56-58
Wardour Street since October 2013. They
offered breakfast, brunch, lunch and
dinner menus and the clientele included local residents, tourists
and theatregoers. Ms Jung referred to
the fact that there were no objections to adding off-sales to the
application. She advised that Deliveroo
were currently delivering restaurant meals to customers on the
Applicant’s behalf. Her client
would like to offer alcohol ancillary to the takeaway meal and had
agreed a condition with the Metropolitan Police that off-sales
would be in sealed containers only and supplied with and ancillary
to a takeaway meal for delivery only.
In respect of the proposal to provide on-sales from 10:00
on Sundays, Ms Jung made the point that the Applicant was bringing
the start time for this particular licensable activity in line with
the other days of the week. She added
that breakfast and brunch meals were increasingly popular with
customers. The Applicant wished to be
able to offer a Prosecco or Bloody Mary with the meal. Ms Jung expressed the view that adding two hours
to the commencement hour would not add to cumulative
impact. There were no representations
from the Responsible Authorities with the Police having withdrawn
their representation. She wished to
emphasise in relation to The Soho Society representation that her
client was not looking ...
