DECISION
The application is granted for the following activities and hours:
The Committee having carefully considered the application and one objector’s representation decided to grant the renewal of the Licence for twelve months subject to the conditions specified below.
SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS
Michelle Steward, the Presenting Officer introduced the application and advised that the Premises currently operates as a sex establishment. The Applicant sought to renewal the Sex Establishment Licence under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as amended (“the Act”) for the premises known as British Sex Shop situated at 8 Green’s Court, London W1F 0HH. The Premises have had the benefit of a licence which expired on 17 June 2020. There was no objection raised by the Metropolitan Police and the Local Authority.
Mr. Halton presented the application and indicated that the applicant has operated the business for nine years, it is a single enterprise shop, well run by the applicant and there have been no concerns raised by the Police or the Local Authority during this time. Mr. Halton stated that the nature of the objection by the one resident who objected to the application was more of an observation rather than an objection and there is no evidence of any issues detrimental to the renewal. Mr. Halton stated that the premises were visited by the Police and Local Authority during the year and there have been no complaints.
There was a representation from one local resident who objected to the renewal of the License and these were on the grounds of the Premises locality.
Having listened to all parties the Sub-Committee granted the renewal of the Licence for twelve months. The Sub-Committee noted that the Premises were well run by the applicant and that there had been no objections from any of the Responsible Authorities. The Sub-Committee noted that there was only one objection to the Application. The establishment was deemed to be suited to the area and the locality. Members commented on the importance of supporting local businesses and were satisfied that the conditions agreed would promote the licensing objectives and so they unanimously agreed to renew the licence.
Conditions attached to the Licence
1. The licence or a clear copy shall be prominently displayed at all times so as to be readily and easily seen by all persons using the premises. ... view the full minutes text for item 2. |
