Representations Received

 

·       The Metropolitan Police Service – (Withdrawn).

·       Environmental Health Service – Maxwell Koduah.

·       Trustee of the Belgravia Society.

·       11 local resident objections 3 of which were withdrawn.

 

Summary of Representations

 

·       I would like to object to this application on the basis that the property is immediately behind my flat. I have a young family and my children's bedroom is incredibly close to the subject premises at the rear of our house. Our home would be affected by continuous noise every day of the week until late at night. It is simply not acceptable.

·       I am writing on behalf of the committee of the Belgravia Residents Association. The premises for which the license is sought are located adjacent to an established residential area . It has always been understood that the yards will be a mixed- use area predominantly for wellness , offices and shops . This application is effectively a license for music till 11pm which will cause serious noise pollution. This is contrary to the ethos of the yards and will have a negative impact on the nearby residents. All the adjacent properties have a very long history of residential use and mostly occupied by families or older residents. Music till 11pm will be very damaging and detrimental to their local amenity considering most of them would be needing to sleep before then! Previously the premises were used as  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.

Summary of Application

 

The Licensing Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Variation of Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises currently operates as a private members club with restaurant and bar and is located within the West End Cumulative Impact Zone and West End Ward. There is a resident count of 148.

 

The Premises has had the benefit of a premises licence since at least September 2005. The current premises licence (15/09813/LIPDPS) can be seen at Appendix 3of the Committee Report. The Applicant has provided submissions in the form of menus and a drinks list, an acoustic report and correspondence with interested parties requesting meetings. This can be found at Appendix 2 of the Report. The Applicant also applied for pre application advice prior to submitting this application and that particular report can also be found in Appendix 2. 

 

This variation application seeks to permit the following:

 

          To vary the layout of the premises in accordance with licensing layout drawings, 4322/498/502/F (Ground Floor) and 4322/498/501/D (Basement).

 

          To remove outdated conditions on the premises licence and replace these with a new set of updated conditions in line with Westminster’s model conditions.

 

The applicant has purchased the premises next door to the George. This is 89 Mount Street. Due to this the size of the Premises has increased by less than 50% to compromise of the following works:-

 

·       The kitchen has been relocated to the basement. Part of the kitchen was previously on the ground floor.

·       Addition of a bar servery on the ground floor with fixed seating.

·       Removal and reconfiguration of fixed furniture on the ground floor.

·       Addition of a disabled WC on the ground floor.

·       2 additional female WC in the basement.

·       1 additional male WC and 2 urinals in the basement.

·       Relocation of the WC’s in the basement.

·       Additional back of house facilities in the basement.

·       Removal and reconfiguration of fixed furniture in the basement.

 

All licensable activities and hours will remain the same.

 

Representations Received

 

·       Environmental Health Service – Ian Watson

·       Mr Jonathan Glanz (Local Ward Councillor).

·       6 Local Resident Objectors.

 

Summary of Representations

 

·       The variation of the layout will likely impact on Public Safety. The change of conditions hours will have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and impact on Public Safety within the area.

·       Any extension of opening hours would cause further disturbance to the mainly residential neighbourhood of George Club. Even if the terrace and windows are  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.
