Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
This was an application by
Draft House Holding Ltd for a new premises licence to replace an
existing premises licence. The application is for essentially the
same hours of operation but does not include any regulated
entertainment apart from the exhibition of films
Anthony Lyons (Solicitor,
representing the Applicant Company) began by giving apologies for
absence from James Brown, Retail Operations Director at
BrewDog and director of Draft House
Holdings Limited, who was away on business and had submitted a
witness statement. Mr Lyons explained that BrewDog had acquired Draft House Holdings Limited
in 2018, as both companies shared an appreciation for fine beers.
BrewDog had acquired 13 sites this
year, and in respect of this site, the conditions on its current
premises licence did not fit the business model that BrewDog premises operated to. The Sub-Committee
heard that the premises had previously operated as the Grand Union
public house, which hosted DJs on Fridays and Saturdays until the
terminal hour. Some internal refurbishments were due to take place
on the premises. Mr Lyons stated that the Applicant Company had
undertaken pre-application consultation and had extensive
conversations with City Council officers. Many of the conditions
proposed were as a result of recommendations made by officers,
including some as a result of a meeting with Dave Nevitt from Environmental Health. It was not
proposed to extend the hours of operation, however it appeared that
some residents had misunderstood the Applicant Company’s
intentions as they had commented that the Applicant Company was
seeking to extend the hours in their representation. Mr Lyons
stated that the only extension the Applicant Company was seeking
was to be permitted to supply alcohol without it being ancillary to
a table meal to customers in the external area up to 20:00 hours,
rather than up to 17:00 as permitted on the current
licence.
Mr Lyons referred Members to
James Brown’s witness statement amending the sale and
consumption of alcohol to 10:00 to 23:00 Monday to Saturday and
12:00 to 22:00 Sunday, in order to address residents’

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
This was an application for a new premises licence in respect of a café operating
within Kensington Gardens. Michelle Steward (Presenting Officer)
introduced the item and advised that the proposed hours for sale of
alcohol on Sunday had been amended to a later commencement hour of
12:00. She confirmed that the Police and Environmental Health had
withdrawn their representations after agreeing conditions with the
Applicant Company.
Sarah Bellamy-Colicci (Compliance Manager, Applicant Company) was
invited to address the Sub-Committee and stated that the reason for
the application was to add alcohol as part of the customer offer.
She stated that the premises would continue to operate as a
café, and not a bar. Presently, there was only W/C provision
for staff, however there were W/C facilities in the park adjacent
to the premises which carried a charge to use, although there had
previously been no charge.
Richard Brown (Solicitor,
Citizens Advice Bureau, representing John Zamit) advised that he
was happy with condition 22 in the report proposed by the Police
stating that if customer toilets are not provided at the premises,
the licence holder shall ensure that access to the nearby public
toilets shall be free of charge to the customers of the premises.
As the Police, and also Environmental Health, had withdrawn their
representations, he sought clarification as to whether this
condition could be adhered to. Mr Brown also suggested that the
Applicant Company’s proposed condition 15 relating to the
premises not operating beyond the park’s opening hours was
preferable to the alternative condition proposed by the
Police.
John Zamit (South East
Bayswater Residents’ Association) addressed the Sub-
Committee and stated that the premises was one of his favourite
cafes. He welcomed the amendment to a later commencement hour for
the sale of alcohol on Sunday. In respect of the nearby public W/C
facilities, he advised that there was a 20 pence charge to use them
and the hours during which they were open did not entirely cover
the opening hours of the premises. Mr Zamit informed the
Sub-Committee that Parks Services had stated that a token system
would not work, and so customers would be required to use cash to
use the W/C facilities. He stated that consideration could be given
as to whether the application warranted an ...
