Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by The Royal Society Of Arts for a variation of a
premises licence in respect of the Royal Society of Arts, 8 John
Adam Street, London, WC2N 6EZ.
The Licensing Officer provided
an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee.
All parties were invited to
make representations to the Sub-Committee in relation to the
application. The parties responded to members’
questions and were given an opportunity to ask questions of each
other.
Mr Morris, representing the
applicant, explained that it was not the intention of the
application to allow members of the public to enter the premises
and consume alcohol. It was proposed to keep condition 10 on the
licence which would limit the sale of alcohol to either i) fellows,
officers or staff of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), or ii) those
attending a private, pre-booked function. The application was
modest and its main aim was to make the hours for selling alcohol
consistent by extending Sunday hours to 00:00. It was also proposed
to amend and delete various conditions on the licence as a purely
tidying up exercise.
In response to a query the
Council’s Legal Adviser provided clarification on the hours
requested for the sale of alcohol. The hours listed on the licence
and those stated in condition 12 were consistent as paragraph ii of
condition 12 allowed alcohol to be sold or supplied for one hour
following the hours detailed in paragraph i to those persons taking
table meals.
Mr Morris recognised that
concerns had been raised over the deletion of condition 19, which
ensured clients had to provide a guest list in advance and visitors
requiring to be registered. It was highlighted though that this was
preceded by condition 18 which required all events to be private
and by invitation only. Mr Morris explained how the RSA was made up
of two parts, the first was a charitable organisation and the
second was business related with profits from private events being
utilised to support good works. Requiring a guest list and
registering every person created ...

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
The
Sub-Committee considered an application by Restaurant Craft Limited
for a new premises licence in respect of 30
Upper Grosvenor Street, London, W1K 7PH.
The Licensing Officer provided
an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee and advised that
following dialogue with the applicant and the agreement to a number
of proposed conditions, the Police had now withdrawn their
representation. Two representations remained, one from
Environmental Health and one from a local resident who did not
attend the hearing.
In response to a question from
the Sub-Committee Mr Grant, representing the applicant, confirmed
that the provision to sell alcohol from 11:00 on Sunday’s had
been requested primarily to form part of a brunch offer.
The Council’s Legal
Adviser brought to the Sub-Committee’s attention that the
proposed terminal hour on Sunday was 00:30 and not 00:00 as stated
in the report.
The Sub-Committee noted that
the objection received was from a resident who did not live in the
immediate vicinity of the premises.
The Sub-Committee noted and
considered the representation received from Environmental
Health.
Having considered the
application the Sub-Committee was satisfied that the conditions
attached to the licence would ensure that the licensing objectives
were upheld and promoted. As such the Sub-Committee granted the
application.

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Stonegate Pub Company Limited for a variation of a
premises licence in respect of Slug and Lettuce, Ground Floor,
17-19 Artillery Row, London, SW1P 1RH.
The Licensing Officer provided
an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee.
All parties were invited to
make representations to the Sub-Committee in relation to the
application. The parties responded to members’
questions and were given an opportunity to ask questions of each
other.
Ms Eames, on behalf of
the applicant, explained that the application before the
Sub-Committee had altered slightly as the applicant had taken steps
to allay concerns raised in the representations received. It was
highlighted that Artillery Row was a relatively new residential
area and the premises had a complex licensing history. It was
recognised that under previous operators the premises did not have
a favourable reputation. The applicant had purchased the premises
in 2011 and the current Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) was
experienced in working in Westminster. Also in 2015 significant
investment of £300,000 had been spent on the property. The
premises was very food orientated with
sales of food and soft drinks accounting for over half of their
sales. It was not located in a cumulative impact area and all the
Council’s policy considerations had been taken on-board.
Endeavours had been made to actively engage with the licensing
authorities and local residents to ensure the application was
appropriate for the area.
Ms Eames highlighted
that the application was not a review of the premises licence and
had been submitted to simply extend the hours and improve the
conditions on the licence. Since the applicant had been operating
the premises there had been no history of complaints. Concerns had
been raised by residents over the extended hours and following
consultation the proposal to extend on Saturdays had now been
removed from the application. The extension of hours sought on
Thursday and Friday had ...

Renewal of a Sexual Entertainment Venue Premises
Licence

The application was to renew the sexual
entertainment venue premises licence to provide striptease and

on each of the days Monday to Saturday to 05.00 on the following
days and 12:00 to 22:30 on Sundays.

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Leaserise Ltd for a renewal of a sexual
entertainment venue premises licence in respect of No.4 Mayfair,
First Floor, 4 Mill Street, London, W1S
2AX.
The Licensing Officer provided
an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee.
The Sub-Committee considered
all the information provided by the applicant and the two
representations received in respect of the application (one
objecting to the application and the other in support). The
representation objecting to the application was repeating an
objection that had previously been made in 2012 suggesting that the
business was inappropriate in the area. However, it was noted that
the premises have actually been operating in a discrete fashion
since 2007 and had therefore been operating when the objector moved
in to the area. It was also noted that the alleged incident on 28
October 2016 had nothing to do with these premises, despite the
assertion to that effect by the objector. As there was no history
or record of the premises causing any nuisance or disturbance the
Sub-Committee had no concerns over the application and therefore
granted the application in full.
