Summary of Application

The premises is to trade as a small food outlet offering freshly made Middle Eastern cuisine to eat in or on the go. A small selection of alcohol will be sold with meals only with alcohol to be consumed on and off the premises or by delivery.

 

The Premises is located in West End Ward and is in the West End CIZ.

Representations received

 

Representations were received from the Licensing Authority (LA), Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Environmental Health Services (EH), CGCA, Soho Society, Soho Ward Panel, 10 residents and 2 Ward Councillors.

 

Summary of Representations

 

The thrust of those written objections received were on the grounds of prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance, and the adverse effect on the West End Cumulative Impact Zone.

 

LA Stated:

 

The Licensing Authority has concerns in relation to this application and how the premises would promote the Licensing Objectives:

 

• Prevention of Public Nuisance

• Prevention of Crime & Disorder

• Public Safety

• Protection of Children from harm

This premises is also located in a cumulative impact zone (CIZ) and therefore there is a presumption of refusal unless the applicant can show exceptional reasons as to why the application should be granted and that he complies with the policy requirements in Westminster’s Statement of Licensing Policy (SLP).

 

MPS stated:

 

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) objects to this application as it is likely that if the application where to be granted, the premise would undermine the Prevention of Crime and Disorder.

 

There is also insufficient detail given by the applicant or contained within the application to help promote the Licensing Objectives or not to add to the cumulative effect of licensed premises in the area.

 

EHS stated:
