Decision (including reasons if

Stephen Walsh QC (Counsel,
representing the Applicant Company) began by stating that the
premises operated as a private members’ club. The premises
had been located at 44 Berkeley Square before moving to 46 Berkeley
Square in 2018. The premises was spread over four floors and
recently a retractable roof to enclose the garden and improve sound
insulation had been installed at a cost of around £3 million.
Stephen Walsh emphasised the fact that no responsible authorities
had made representations after the Applicant Company had liaised
extensively with them. It was also essential both in commercial and
social terms that the premises operated in a manner that did not
impact upon residents. Stephen Walsh confirmed that no changes to
condition 14 which restricted sale and consumption of alcohol to
members of the private club or their bona fide guests were proposed
and the capacity condition (condition 37 in the report) also
remained unchanged.
Stephen Walsh then referred
Members to the layout as set out in the plans and advised that it
was proposed to add two pavement vaults in the licensed area of the
premises. ...

Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
Richard Marshall-Duffield
(Agent, representing the Applicant Company) began by stating
that the premises operated as a small
café. The Applicant Company also operated another premises
in Hampstead. The main variation in the application was to be
permitted to provide off sales of alcohol. The Applicant Company
had addressed the concerns raised by the Police and Environmental
Health, who had both withdrawn their representations after agreeing
conditions with the Applicant Company. The Applicant Company had
attempted to make contact with the local resident who had made
representations on the application.
The variation to be permitted
to undertake off sales of alcohol had been proposed as the
Applicant Company wished to improve the customer offer. All off
sales of alcohol would be in sealed containers and there were no
proposals to change the layout of the premises. Richard
Marshall-Duffield advised that there was seating outside that was
within the demise of the premises (and sales to that area would
therefore constitute on-sales of alcohol). The Police had
originally proposed a condition stating that sales of alcohol off
the premises shall be supplied with, and ancillary to, a take away
meal. However, the Applicant Company had felt that this was too
restrictive and the Police had since withdrawn this request. Mr
Marshall-Duffield explained further that the nature of deliveries
was changing and all wine supplied would be sourced exclusively for
the premises. In addition, deliveries would be undertaken in a
green, low carbon manner.
Mr Marshall-Duffield informed
the Sub-Committee that he had spoken to John Zamit (South East
Bayswater Residents’ Association) and with Richard
Brown (Solicitor, Citizens Advice Bureau)
about residents’ concerns and agreement had been reached on
most conditions. He reiterated the Applicant Company’s
opposition to having all off sales of alcohol being ancillary to a
take away meal, which John Zamit had also requested as a
condition.
John Zamit (South East
Bayswater Residents’ Association) then addressed the
Sub-Committee and stated that whilst he was keen to work with local
businesses for licensing applications, he was reluctant to withdraw
his representation where other residents’ objections were
maintained. He concurred that most conditions had been agreed with
the Applicant Company. On the advice of Richard Brown, Mr
