Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Vapiano Ltd for a
variation of a premises licence in respect of Vapiano, 84-86
Wardour Street, London, W1F 0TG.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application to the
Sub-Committee.
Mr McCann,
representing the Applicant, explained that Vapiano Ltd was an Italian restaurant group, which
currently operated six premises within the UK. The Sub-Committee
was provided with a description of the
customer experience upon entering the Premises and how it created a
quick turnaround of customers. What the Application before the
Sub-Committee was seeking was to permit deliveries
of food and
alcohol from the premises by online food delivery companies until
23:00 hours. Despite some apparent contradictions on the existing
conditions on the licence, Mr McCann was of the opinion that it
already did permit a takeaway service to be
provided, excluding alcohol, until 23:00. Therefore, the aim
of the application was to allow deliveries of alcohol to

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Grosvenor Investments Ltd and Tarts Kitchen Ltd
(Joint Applicants) for a new premises licence in respect of
11-19 Eccleston Place,
London, SW1W 9NF.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application to the
Sub-Committee.
Mr Rankin and Mr
Thomas, representing the applicants, confirmed that Grosvenor
Estates was the landlord and they would
transfer the lease upon its completion after which it would then be
solely in the name of the tenant.
Mr Rankin highlighted
that the Premises was not located within a Cumulative Impact Area
(CIA) and was seeking to permit the sale of alcohol to core hours.
The Premises would operate as a high-end restaurant with the
provision of a standalone bar and a retail area. A photographic
studio would also form part of the Premises that could also be
utilised as an event space. The Sub-Committee was advised that a
pre-application meeting had been held with Environmental Health
(EH) and the Sub-Committee was advised that save for one area EH
and the Police were content with the application. Only one
residential representation had been
received from a resident, who Mr Rankin advised, was not
located in close proximity to the Premises. It was hoped the conditions agreed with the Responsible
Authorities would allay the concerns raised by the
resident.
Mr Rankin provided an
overview of the Premises plans and confirmed that the capacity of
the bar area would be limited to a maximum of 35 customers with a
food offer available. The restaurant area had a capacity of 100
customers with the studio area used as a standalone area or as part
of the restaurant if required. The Premises included two spaces
where a deli food offer would be
provided with all the food prepared onsite. In addition,
there was also three small retail areas where it was hoped to provide a facility for off sales of
alcohol. Bottles of beer and English wines would be available to
purchase in these areas and it was recognised that it was these
areas which the Responsible Authorities had expressed

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Claridges Hotel Ltd for a variation of a premises
licence in respect of Claridges Hotel, 47-57
Brook Street, Mayfair, London, W1K 4HR.
The Licensing Officer
provided an outline of the application to the Sub-Committee and
confirmed that following the agreement of conditions with the
Applicant both the Police and Environmental Health (EH) had
withdrawn their representations.
Mr Browning,
representing the Applicant, explained that the reason for the
application was that a planning application had been made to
reintroduce an historic door at the Premises
which led to an external garden area. It was confirmed that the planning application had been
approved. The external area was located completely on the Premises
and was not situated on the public
highway with access to it provided through the hotel only. The bar
area inside the hotel was licensed until 02:00 hours however
following discussions with the Responsible Authorities the external
areas would only be licensed until 23:00 hours. Hotel residents
were located above this area so it was in the Applicant’s
interests that no disturbance was
created in this area.
Mr Browning provided
details of where the resident was located who had submitted a
representation regarding the application and the significant
distance this was away from the Premises. Negotiations were
currently ongoing with the resident and a meeting had been proposed to discuss the application, which
the resident had not attended.
The Sub-Committee was
advised by Mr Browning that an advantage of utilising the external
garden was that it would provide an area for customers to smoke
therefore ensuring they did not have to use the smoking area on
Brook Street located on the public highway. The Sub-Committee
was assured that there would be no
provision of shisha in this particular area. It was submitted that the external area would contain
significant levels of screening made up of additional screens and
planting and this would provide a significant barrier between the
external area and the street. The Premises operated an extensive
recycling programme and it took very seriously its environmental
impact. In response to a question from the Sub-Committee the Applicant confirmed that they
would use their best endeavours to use pollutant absorbing
planting.
The Sub-Committee
requested further clarity on how the garden ...
