Summary of Objections
· There was insufficient detail within the operating schedule to promote the Licensing Objectives and the Premises is located within a Special Consideration Zone as per Westminster’s Licensing Policy. · Environmental Health Service expressed concern that the application would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may affect Public Safety within the area. · The impact of this single event will be devasting for Craig’s Court with people using the court including our front door as a toilet. Residents are blocked from entering/existing their homes as they are surrounded by aggressive people under the influence of alcohol. Residents request that the Police secure Craig’s Court so they can access their homes without fear of attack or intimidation and ensure that the area is cleaned up after the event.
