The Sub-Committee considered an application by 119 Marylebone Road Tenant Limited (“the Applicant”) for a New Premises licence in respect of Lower Ground to Seventh Foor,119 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5PU.

 

The Licensing Officer provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee.  She confirmed that representations had been made by one local resident and that the Police had withdrawn their representation as conditions had been agreed with the applicant.  The Premises was 

not located in the Council’s designated cumulative impact areas. 

 

All parties were invited to make representations to the Sub-Committee in relation to the application.  The parties responded to the Sub-Committee’s questions and were given an opportunity to ask questions of each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Baylis (Applicant’s representative) stated that this was an application for a new premises licence for the sale of retail of alcohol on the Premises from Monday to Sunday 12:00 to 23:00.  The Sub-Committee was advised that the Premises would be operating as an office space with refreshment facilities to designated office users and their bona fide guests.  He outlined that Wework’s offer was a shared office space that young entrepreneurs hired for business use that included Wi-Fi, printing facilities, meeting rooms, a small café area and access to a beer keg between the hours of 12:00 to 23:00 as provided for in the application.

 

Mr Baylis proceeded to go through the plan of the Premises and indicated the location of the office space and pantry areas on each floor. He confirmed that there were no balconies on any of the floors but after careful examination of the plans by the Sub-Committee agreed that there was in fact a balcony located on the sixth floor of the building.  Mr Baylis agreed to a condition that no alcohol be taken outside on to the balcony and that the balcony would be taken out of the licensable areas which would require an amended plan to be submitted to the Licensing Authority. It was stated that the community bar was located on the reception area.

 

In response to questions from the Sub-Committee regarding holding events in the office space, Mr Baylis advised that a person could hire the space for a launch event and bring their own alcohol to serve at the event. He further confirmed that this was an office environment  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.

To remove condition 26 which reads

 

all drinking receptables used at the Premises are to be plastic or polycarbonate’.

 

 

Amendments to application advised at hearing:

 

None.

 

 

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

 

The Sub-Committee considered an application by Everyman Media Limited (“the Applicant”) for a Variation to the Premises licence in respect of Everyman Baker Street, Ground Left, 96-98 Baker Street, London W1U 6TJ.

 

All parties were invited to make representations to the Sub-Committee in relation to the application.  The parties responded to the Sub-Committee’s questions and were given an opportunity to ask questions of each other.

 

The Applicant’s representative advised that this application was for a variation of a premises licence to remove the following condition “all drinking receptacles used at the Premises are to be plastic or polycarbonate”.  The Committee heard that this was a premium cinema that had facilities such as sofa chairs, carpets and adequate seat rests to place drinks and that there was no evidence to demonstrate that the Applicant would not promote the licensing objectives having regard to the management and training practices in place that were adopted for the same type of premises in all of its locations.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In response to questions from the Sub-Committee, the Applicant’s representative advised that the capacity was less than 60 persons for each cinema screen, that the licence allowed ice-cream in a glass and bottles of wine to be allowed into the cinema and that allowing the use of proper glasses reflected the type of premium service that customers expected at an Everyman cinema. He further confirmed that there had been no glass breakages at the other Everyman cinemas and that the cinema would be promoting the licencing objectives by having CCTV and regular staff monitoring during the film.

 

The Sub-Committee considered that this was a premium cinema that had facilities such as sofa chairs, carpet and adequate seat rests to place drinks and that there was no evidence to demonstrate that the Applicant would not promote the licensing objectives by the removal of the condition.  It was stated that conditions had been agreed with both the Police and Environmental Health andthe Premises was not situated in the Council’s designated cumulative impact areas.  The Sub-Committee after careful consideration of the matter decided to grant the application with amended and additional conditions added to the licence.

 

The Sub-Committee considers the conditions imposed on the Premises Licence to be appropriate and proportionate that will help promote the licensing objectives.
