Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
Ms Michelle Stewart
(Presenting Officer) confirmed the application, advising the
Sub-Committee that this was a renewal of a Sex Establishment Venue
license application made by Nags Head Limited. She advised that four objections had been received
to the renewal of the application along with one e-mail supporting
one of the objectors from a Ward Councillor. Ms Stewart advised the Sub-Committee that the
premises were in West End Ward.
Mr Julian Skeens
(Applicant’s Solicitor) addressed the Sub-Committee and
advised that he would not go through all the papers however, he
wanted to ensure that everyone had a copy of the letter from TLT
Solicitors dated the 15th March 2019 (which appeared at
page 3 of the supplementary bundle). He
advised the Sub-Committee that the premises were located on
Carlisle Street and had been in this location since
2012.
With regard to the
objections, Mr Skeens advised that they mainly related to noise in
relation to the pedicabs and requested that the Sub-Committee
review the photographs that were submitted by the objectors and
which showed part of the problem with regards to the pedicabs.
Other photographs showed the door
supervisor from the Bar, groups of pedicabs and people on the
corner of Dean Street and Carlisle Street. Mr Skeens then showed the Sub-Committee a map of
the immediate area.
Mr Skeens explained
that pedicabs often had loud music blaring out and assumed that
this was the music that was being heard by the residents that have
complained. He was sure that no music
was escaping from the premises itself and advised that in relation
to the premises there are conditions which limit noise nuisance. Mr
Vivian would be able to help with further detail regarding noise
levels within the Bar, as he installed and set the sound limiters
in the Bar which cannot exceed a set decibel level. Mr Skeens informed the Sub-Committee that the
noise limiters were set and could not be changed or tampered with
and the decibel levels were agreed with Environmental Health
Services.
Mr Skeens advised that
his client had been trying to manage the outside ...

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
Ms Michelle Steward (Presenting
Officer) confirmed the application, advising the Sub-Committee that
this was a new premises licence application. She advised that the Environmental Health (EH)
Services and Metropolitan Police made representations, however the
Police had since withdrawn their representation as their proposed
conditions had been agreed by the applicant so as to form part of
the Operating Schedule. Environmental Health (EH) Services had
maintained their representation. Objections to the application had
also been received from one local charity representative and from
the Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association, neither of who had
attended the hearing. Ms Steward
advised the Sub-Committee that the premises were in West End Ward
and not in the Cumulative Impact Area (CIA).
Mr Jae Deog Kim (The Applicant’s son and representative) informed the
Sub-Committee that this was an application for a new premises
licence for a premise intending to operate as a Korean restaurant
(including takeaway). Mr Jae
Deog Kim advised
that the premises intended to trade in the basement and ground
floor with an ancillary bar in the basement. Mr Jae Deog Kim informed the
Sub-Committee that his father was also seeking to provide late
night refreshment with the supply and consumption of alcohol being
restricted to the basement area of the premises.
Mr Drayan from the
Environmental Health services addressed the Sub-Committee advising
that he had visited the premises and viewed the layout. He informed the Sub-Committee that the basement
has a capacity for 30 people seated with storage and back of house
facilities. The area shown as a kitchen on the plans was not a
kitchen but was also used for storage. Mr Drayan further advised
that the ground floor was laid our as shown in the submitted plans.
He informed the Sub-Committee that the premises also intended to
provide a takeaway service and had A3 planning
permission.
The Sub-Committee made further
inquiries regarding the location of alcohol sales and the nature
and operation of the takeaway and delivery element of the
business. Mr Drayan explained that the
premises would only supply alcohol in the basement ancillary to
food as required by conditions that had been agreed with the police
(who had consequently withdrawn their objection). Mr Drayan advised that there would be late night
refreshment from 23:00, including a takeaway service.
The Sub-Committee queried the
mode of transport ...

Decision (including reasons if different from those
set out in report):
Ms Michelle Stewart (Presenting Officer) confirmed
the application, advising the Sub-Committee that this was a new
premises license application for a ‘shadow
licence’. She advised that the
Environmental Health Service (EH) and the current licence holder
had made representations, however EH had since withdrawn their
representation, whilst the current licence holder had maintained
their representations, objecting to the application. Ms Stewart advised the Sub-Committee that the
premises was in West End Ward and not in the Cumulative Impact Area
(CIA).
Mr Barry Panto (WCC legal Adviser) addressed the
Sub-Committee and all parties advising that a number of issues had
been raised as to whether the application made was valid and
suggested that the Sub-Committee deal with these issues
first.
Before dealing with those issues, Mr James Rankin
(Applicant’s Solicitor),
informed the Sub-Committee he questioned why Mr
Julian Skeens (Solicitor, Representing the currently licence
holder) and Mr Luke Elford (Representing the current licence
holder) were in attendance and their motives for
attending. Mr Rankin advised that
Trophaeum, who is the parent company of Tizzola Ltd (Applicant
Company) let the premises to Gazelle Bar Ltd (Objector) and for
some time had concerns regarding the solvency and otherwise of
Gazelle Bar Ltd. He advised that
Gazelle Bar Ltd stopped trading in January 2019 and that his client
had received an e-mail dated 25th March from Anthony
Batty and Co, who advised that the Directors of Gazelle Bar Ltd had
filed a notice of intention to appoint joint administrators of the
company. Mr Rankin advised the Sub
Committee that Gazelle Bar Ltd was currently going bust. Mr Rankin
wanted it made clear who Mr Skeens was representing and who had
instructed him.
Mr Skeens addressed the Sub-Committee and confirmed
that the ...
