Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Grays and Feather Wellington Street Ltd for a
variation of a premises licence in respect of Grays and Feather, Wellington Street, Basement and Ground Floor,
26 Wellington Street, London, WC2E 7DD.
Mr Spielger,
representing the applicant, advised the Sub-Committee that the
application before it primarily consisted of three areas. The first
element was to vary the Premises opening hours by extending the
morning hours to 08:00 and extending the terminal hour to 23:30 on
Friday and Saturday evenings. Secondly, it was proposed to remove
the condition requiring the supply of alcohol to be to a person
seated taking a table meal and for consumption by such a person as
ancillary to their meal only. The Applicant sought to replace this
condition which one requiring the supply of alcohol to persons who
had entered the Premises before 20:00 being ancillary to them
taking substantial refreshment. Thirdly, permission was sought to
allow private events to take place at the Premises.
Ms Wardle and Mr Gray,
the applicants, provided a brief history of the Premises advising
that it was a family run business established in 2011 with a
particular focus on sparkling wines. The ethos of the Premises was
to educate people on various sparkling wines from around the world
and their food pairings. It was stated that a relaxed environment
was provided where alcohol was supplied in a controlled environment
that would help promote the licensing objectives. The Sub-Committee
was advised that the Premises did not function as a pub. Currently,
tasting events were prohibited and permission to permit these was
sought to cater for this demand. To future proof the licence is was
suggested that it be made personal to the Applicants. Ms Wardle
advised that it was hoped the variation would be granted to allow
tasting and network events to be held on site in order to improve
the future viability of the operation.
Mr Spiegler advised
that pre-application ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by GKss Ltd (“The Applicant”) for a new
premises licence in respect of Unit EC2,
73-75 Charing Cross Road, London, WC2H 0NE.
The Licensing Officer
introduced the application and confirmed that the Police,
Environmental Health and the Covent Garden Community Association
had all withdrawn their representations following the agreement of
conditions with the applicant.
Ms Somasundaram, representing the Applicant, advised the
Sub-Committee that the Applicant was an accomplished specialist in
supplying Korean produce. Various other similar establishments were
already operated throughout London by the Applicant and this
application formed part of an expansion plan. The company held a
good reputation and after extensive consultation the Police,
Environmental Health and the Covent Garden Community Association
(CGCA) had all withdrawn their representations.
Miss Gadd, representing the
Licensing Authority, confirmed that they had maintained their
representation as the Premises was located in a Cumulative Impact
Area (CIA) and the Applicant had to demonstrate that the
application would not add to cumulative impact. It was recognised
that the Premises was primarily a retail unit which would sell
authentic Asian beverages for consumption at home with an Asian
meal. The proposed hours for the off sales of alcohol were within
core hours and it was confirmed that overall the Licensing
Authority was content with the application.
The Sub-Committee carefully
considered the application and noted that it was located within a
CIA. However, the hours sought for the sale of alcohol were within
core hours with the alcohol for sale consisting of mainly rice
wine, sake and Asian beers for consumption at home. It was also
noted that customers would not have direct access to the alcohol
which would be located behind the cashiers counter. The
Sub-Committee was pleased to note the extensive level of
consultation undertaken by the Applicant with both the responsible
authorities and local stakeholders. As a result the Police,
Environmental Health and the CGCA had all withdrawn their
representations. The Premises was located in a CIA, however the
proposed conditions were considered appropriate and proportionate
to ensure the promotion of the licensing objectives. They were also
deemed restrictive enough to ensure the application would not add
to cumulative impact in the local area. The niche character of the
alcohol for sale and also the fact that it would be sold within
core ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Galleria Cafe Ltd (“The Applicant”) for
a new premises licence in respect of Arro Coffee,
77 Bishop’s Bridge Road, Bishops Court, London, W2
6BG.
The Licensing Officer
introduced the application and advised all parties present that the
hours for the sale of alcohol had been amended with the terminal
hour for on and off sales now 20:00 hours Monday to Sunday. The
Sub-Committee was also advised that Environmental Health had
withdrawn their representation following the agreement of
conditions with the Applicant.
Ms
Meola, Food and Beverage Manager for
the Applicant, advised that the
Premises currently operated as a coffee shop selling traditional
Italian beverages and food. The application was seeking to provide
an opportunity for customers to enjoy an aperitivo which would permit them to consume
Italian alcohol. As part of the application the Sub-Committee was
advised that it was proposed for a condition to be placed on the
licence introducing a thirty-minute drinking up time to ensure a
smooth, orderly closing of the Premises. The Sub-Committee noted
that conditions had been agreed with Environmental Health (EH)
following which they had withdrawn their representation. It was
acknowledged that the South East Bayswater Residents Association
(SEBRA) had concerns over the application but the proposals sought
were simply to increase custom during the traditionally quieter
afternoon period.
Ms Seaward, representing the
Licensing Authority, confirmed that the Premises was located in a Cumulative Impact Area (CIA). It
was also confirmed that the terminal hour for the supply of alcohol
had been scaled back to 20:00 hours which now brought the
application in line with the Council’s core hours policy.
Serious concerns had been raised over off-sales from the Premises
due to the significant street-drinking problems in the local area.
The applicant, in consultation with the Police, had tried to
address this issue by placing additional conditions on the licence
requiring all sales of alcohol for consumption off the Premises

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Hippodrome Casino Ltd for a variation of a premises
licence in respect of Hippodrome Casino, The
Hippodrome, 10-14 Cranbourne Street, London, WC2H 7JH.
The Licensing officer
introduced the application and confirmed that the Licensing
Authority had withdrawn their representation following discussions
with the Applicant.
Mr Bayliss, representing the
Applicant, advised that the Hippodrome owned and operated the
Premises next door which he would refer to as the Crystal Rooms. It
was submitted that the application was simply seeking to provide
the ability for patrons to move between the two Premises even
though they had separate licences. Patrons in the Crystal Rooms
would be supplied with alcohol from within the adjacent casino.
When the original application was made it was for 24-hour service
in the Crystal Rooms, however Environmental Health advised that the
gambling licence for the Crystal Rooms
operated only until midnight. It was suggested that to be compliant
with the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy alcohol
should only be supplied to the same hours as the gambling licence.
The current off sales therefore only operated until midnight.
Subsequently, the gambling licence had been varied to 24 hours and
as such the application was seeking to extend the off sale hours in
the Crystal Rooms to the same hours. No other changes to the
licence were proposed, there would be no off sales of alcohol
outside the Premises and an extension in hours for off sales in the
Crystal Room was only being sought.
PC Lewis, representing the
Metropolitan Police, confirmed that their representation was
maintained as the Premises was located within a Cumulative Impact
Area (CIA). The application was seeking to sell alcohol to an
