Case Summary

 

The Committee has determined an application for a Variation of Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 (“The Act”). The Premise operates as a Private Members Club with accompanying accommodation and are located within the Bryanston And Dorset Square Ward. The Premises have had the benefit of a licence since 2012 (licence number 19/09266/LIPDPS) The Premises are not located within the West End Cumulative nor Special Consideration Zone. There is a resident count of 202.

 

The Applicant seeks to the vary the licence as follows:-

 

Suspend the operation of conditions 51, 53 and 54 below until 30th September 2021

 

Condition 51:           Any external terrace areas may only be used for the consumption of alcohol on Fridays and Saturdays.

 

Condition 53:           Any external terrace areas shall be vacated by 19:00 save

for persons using the area to smoke;

 

Condition 54:           No more than ten persons, excluding staff, shall be

permitted on the first-floor terrace at any one time.

 

Insert a new condition as follows:-

 

“No more than 25 patrons (who shall be seated) may occupy the terrace between 11.00 and 22.00 on any day until 30th September 2021 when this condition shall cease to have effect.”

 

Representations were received from Environmental Health Service (EHS), Three Local Ward Councillors and 18 Local Residents (comprising individuals and the amenity society). The thrust of those objection site public nuisance and crime and disorder.

 

Activities and Hours applied for

 

As per the Premises Licence save for the variations applied for.

 

Representations Received

 

·       Environmental Health Service (EHS) (Dave Nevitt)

·       Councillors Barbara Arzymanow, Richard Beddoe and Eoghain Murphy

·       Mr Guy Austin Marylebone Association

·       18 Local Residents

 

Summary of Objections

 

·       Great Cumberland Place is a quiet residential street as is the adjoining Brunswick Mews. Following several resident’s representations to the Ward Councillors we are objecting to the application for a licence variation 21/03349/LIPV at Home Grown Club as it will cause a public nuisance in this residential area. The noise created by giving permission to Home Grown customers to sit outside on a terrace will have a wide ranging “cauldron effect due to the amplification created by the surrounding tall buildings. Therefore, the noise would span a large number of residential properties across 6 streets. This variation is significantly contrary to the spirit of the original licensing conditions made in 2019 18/05022/LIPV and when planning permission was granted 2017.
