Ward

Retail Sale of Alcohol [On and Off Sales]

Representations Received
· The Metropolitan Police (PC Reaz Guerra) - Withdrawn · The Licensing Authority (Jessica Donovan) · One local resident objecting to the application
Summary of issues raised by objectors
· The applicant was encouraged to consider Model Condition 38 to bring it in line with policy RTN1 where the supply of alcohol at the Premises shall only be to a person seated taking a substantial table meal there and for consumption by such a person as ancillary to their meal.
· The applicant was required to provide submissions as to how the operation of the Premises would not add to cumulative impact in the West End cumulative impact area.
· The opening of anther licensed premises in the area would create noise and disturbance in a street containing many residential properties.
Policy Position
The Premises was located within the West End Cumulative Impact Area and as such various policy points had to be considered under the City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy (SLP), namely policies CIP1, HRS1 and RTN1.
SUBMISSIONS AND REASONS
Having considered all the submissions made by all parties, the Licensing Sub-Committee decided to partly grant the application.
The Presenting Officer introduced the application and confirmed that the Police had withdrawn their representation following the agreement of conditions with the Applicant.
Mr Spiegler, representing the Applicant, introduced the application and advised that the Premises was an existing café located in Soho. The Applicant had owned the Premises since 2014 and it had a capacity of 50 customers across both the ground and basement floors. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Applicant was having to adjust the previous business model in order to ensure the viability of the Premises and this was why the food menu was being extended along with the proposal to provide an ancillary alcohol provision. There was no intention to alter the style of the Premises to one which was alcohol-led and as such various conditions had been proposed to provide reassurance. These included ensuring the sale of alcohol on the Premises was ancillary to it operating as a café, the supply of alcohol would be by waiter/waitress service and to ... view the full minutes text for item 2. |

Premises
101 Bell Street London NW1 6TL
Applicant
A1 Bottles Limited
Cumulative Impact Area?
Not in a Cumulative Impact Area
Ward
Church Street
Summary of Application
The Premises proposed to operate a commercial office which would be used for distribution of online sales of prosecco and champagne.
Proposed Activities and Hours
Retail Sale of Alcohol [Off Sales]
Monday to Sunday 11.00 to 23.00
Representations Received
· Environmental Health Services (Maxwell Koduah) · One local resident in objection.
Summary of issues raised by objectors
· The application as presented would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance and may affect Public Safety within the area.
· The application would negatively impact on the amenity of local residents. The Premises would be receiving deliveries on a regular basis and delivery drivers would be continuously pulling up to the Premises to collect deliveries of alcohol. These activities would increase noise, pollution and congestion in a residential area.
Policy Position
Policies HRS1 and OS1 would have to be considered under the City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy (SLP).
DECISION
The Presenting Officer introduced the application and confirmed that the Applicant was not in attendance to present the application. The Sub-Committee was informed that written confirmation had been received that the Applicant would not attend and following discussions with a Director of the Applicant Company further confirmation had been given that they would not attend the hearing, or any hearing rescheduled for a future date.
Mr Koduah, representing the Environmental Health Service (EHS), informed the Sub-Committee that their representation was maintained as the resident objecting to the application was unable to attend the hearing. The Sub-Committee noted that conditions had been agreed between EHS and the Applicant and Mr Koduah advised that these were sufficient to mitigate any concerns regarding public nuisance. These conditions included restricting when deliveries could take place to the Premises to between 07:00 and 23:00 hours and ensuring all deliveries would be undertaken by personnel employed directly by the licence holder or by the licence holder himself.
In response to questions from the Sub-Committee Mr Koduah confirmed that the street the Premises was located on was of a residential nature, however it was not considered proportionate to require all deliveries to be undertaken by bicycle in order to reduce any potential public nuisance. The Sub-Committee also noted that the opening hours for the operation had not been provided and expressed grave disappointment that the Applicant was refusing to attend the hearing in order to provide further clarification on how the business was intended to operate that would help promote the licensing objectives.
Conclusion
The Sub-Committee carefully considered the application and noted that it was not located within a Cumulative Impact Area (CIA) ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
