Summary of issues raised by objectors

 

·       MPS stated there was insufficient detail within the operating schedule to promote the licensing objectives.  If the application was granted it would undermine the licensing objective, the prevention of crime and disorder and the hours sought are beyond Westminster Council’s Core Hours Policy.

 

·       EHS stated the proposals are likely to increase the risk of public nuisance and may impact upon public safety.

 

·       Local Residents expressed concerns about noise disturbance and the delivery drivers using the premises and adjoining restaurants to congregate at the end of the street, riding their bikes on the pavement and driving the wrong way down Bickenhall Street.
