Late Night Refreshment - Indoors

 

Monday to Sunday: 23:00 to 01:00

 

 

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 Mega Foods Ltd for a new premises licence in respect of Mega Food, 330 Harrow Road, London, W9 2HP.

 

The Licensing Officer introduced the application to the Sub-Committee and confirmed that the premises had previously been licensed; however, the corporate licence holder had been dissolved on 12 January 2016. The Licensing Authority had not been aware of this and the licence holder had continued to pay the annual licensing fees. In May 2018 the Licensing Authority became aware that the company had been dissolved and notified the company that was operating the premises that the licence had therefore lapsed. That company had subsequently submitted the new application that was before the Sub-Committee. The Licensing Officer confirmed that Environmental Health (EH) had withdrawn their representation following the agreement of conditions with the applicant.

 

Ms Anwari, representing the applicant, explained that the premises was a family run business which was seeking permission to provide late night refreshment from 23:00 to 01:00 Monday to Sunday. Ms Anwari confirmed that the applicant was aware that the premises had previously been licenced but this had lapsed as the corporate licence holder had been dissolved in January 2016.

 

PC Russell, representing the Metropolitan Police, confirmed that the applicant had accepted their proposed conditions and as such their representation had now been withdrawn.

 

In response to questions from the Sub-Committee Ms Anwari advised that CCTV had been installed at the premises, all staff had been trained in its use and recordings would be kept for 30 days. All the conditions proposed by EH had been agreed. The application sought had the same characteristics as the licence that had lapsed and it was not proposed to change the operation of the premises. The conditions agreed with EH and the Police were more stringent than those on the previous licence and would ensure that the licensing objectives were upheld. This included limiting the number of customers allowed in the shop at anyone time to ten people after 23:00 hours. It was acknowledged that a resident had submitted a representation but Ms Anwari questioned its relevance. Due to the number of food operations in the vicinity of the premises it would be impossible to confirm where the smells and noise mentioned originated from. The premises had received no complaints since it had been in operation and this included whilst the previous owners operated it. To provide  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.
