Summary of Application

 

The Sub-Committee has determined an application for a Variation of a Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premises trade as an Italian inspired restaurant and is not in the West End Cumulative Impact Zone nor within the Special Consideration Zone. The Premises have had the benefit of a licence since 2009.  The Applicant seeks by way of variation the following: -

 

·       To remove Condition 10 on the licence so that tables and chairs can be left on the forecourt until the premises closing time.

 

·       To Amend the Opening Hours to benefit from the breakfast trade Monday to Saturday 08:00 hours Sunday to 10:00 hours.

 

Condition 10 reads:

 

The tables and chairs shall be removed from the forecourt by 20:30 each evening.

 

Proposed Condition by the Applicant:

 

Up to and including 30th September 2021, the tables and chairs on the forecourt shall be rendered unusable by 23:00 each evening. From 1st October 2021, the tables and chairs on the forecourt shall be rendered unusable by 20:30 each evening.

 

Following consultation, the applicant amended the application in so far as Condition 10 relates so that the variation will be for a time limited period until 30th September 2021. The Premises also have the benefit of a tables and chairs licence valid until 30 September 2021.

 

Additional papers were produced by the applicant which contains an Operational Management Statement, menu and a revised condition 10 (highlighted above) together with a written submission from Richard Brown of Westminster Citizens Advice representing Mrs Pindar a local resident.

 

Activities and Hours

 

·       As per the premises licence save for the variations applied for.

 

Representations Received

 

·       Environmental Health Service (Ian Watson).

·       Mr John Lindquist 56 Ebury Street London (Withdrawn).

·       Sharon Pindar 33 Eccleston Street London.

·       Victoria And Dermot Butler 58 Ebury Street London (Withdrawn).

 

Summary of Representations

 

·       The removal of Condition 10 of the license would mean that outside tables would be used until 23:30 to 00:00. This would definitely disturb us as alcohol is allowed to be served until these hours inside, and now would be outside.

·       This is a residential area and it is not appropriate to have outdoor eating and drinking beyond 8.30pm. Originally, this site was La Bottega and closed at a more reasonable time. We did not object to the change in time to 8.30pm, when Chucs originally took over the site, as it seemed a sensible compromise to help them establish their restaurant. However, this "slow creep" is not acceptable.

·       The noise would carry directly into our  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
