Decision:

Mr Jackaman introduced the item advising that the Sub-Committee had before it an application for a premises variation from the Swedish Church In London Ltd (the Applicant).  He advised that the application had received representations from the Environmental Health Service, 3 local residents and the Metropolitan Police.  It was noted that the Police representation was withdrawn on 30 January 2020 after the agreement to additional conditions. 

 

The Sub-Committee heard the Applicant’s Case

 

Ms Sarah Skansing addressed the Sub-Committee advising that the Swedish Church had been present in the UK for over 300 years and this premises had been established in 1910. She advised that the premises were open 7 days per week and already benefited from a premises licence.  Ms Skansing advised the Sub-Committee that the premises occasionally held evening events; however, the Church wanted the freedom to take bookings and not have to apply for a Temporary Event Notice each time.  Ms Skansing informed the Sub-Committee that the Church held knitting groups, concerts and other community events at the premises.

 

Ms Skansing advised the Sub-Committee that the Church is generally closed by 21:00. However, there have been some requests for event to finish later than 21:00 and they want some flexibility.  She advised there was no intention to ramp up the number of events but wanted to be able to host some small parties indoors.  She advised that there were no windows in the centre of the building and there were 6 members of staff who live on the premises, so there would be no late-night events.  Ms Skansing informed the Sub-Committee that the Church is closed for 5 weeks during the summer and no outdoor areas of the building would be used for events.  She also advised the Sub-Committee that no complaints had ever been made previously.

 

The Sub-Committee heard from Environmental Health Services:

 

Mr Koduah addressed the Sub-Committee and confirmed that the Environmental Health Service had maintained their objections on the grounds that the supply of alcohol and the hours requested would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may affect Public Safety within the area.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
