To vary the terminal hour for all licensable activities and the opening hours to 01:00 the following day on Monday to Saturday and Sundays immediately before Bank Holiday Mondays until 31 May 2023.

 

To add the following condition until 31 May 2023:

 

The permitted terminal hour for licensable activities shall be 01:00 the following day on Monday to Saturday and Sundays immediately before Bank Holiday Mondays until 31 May 2023, from 1 June 2023 the terminal hours for licensable activities shall revert back to Core Hours unless this condition is removed from the Premises Licence by way of a variation application.

 

Representations Received

 

·       Environmental Health Service (withdrawn 28 April 2021)

·       Metropolitan Police Service (Adam Deweltz)

·       Licensing Authority (Kevin Jackaman)

·       The Soho Society

 

 

Summary of Objections

 

·       The venue is situated within the Cumulative Impact Area.  If granted the application would undermine the Licensing Objectives in relation to the Prevention of Crime and Disorder.

Policy Position

 

Under Policy CIP1, it is the Licensing Authority’s policy to refuse applications in the Cumulative Impact Areas for pubs and bars, fast food premises and premises offering facilities for music and dancing, other than applications to vary hours within the Core Hours under Policy HRS1.  Applications for other licensable activities in the Cumulative Impact Areas will be subject to other policies and must demonstrate that they will not add to cumulative impact in the Cumulative Impact Areas.

 

Under Policy HRS1, applications for hours within the Core Hours would, generally, be granted.  Applications for hours outside Core Hours would be considered on their merits, subject to other relevant policies.

 

Under Policy PB1, applications outside the West End Cumulative Zone will generally be granted subject to the matters identified in Policy PB1.

 

 

 

                                               SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS
