Layout Alteration
The changes sought to the
layout of the premises are as follows:
- Reconfiguration of the basement internal layout
- Relocation of Bar Counter
- New fixed seating
- Creation of ball pit for entertainment purposes
- Creation of main
entrance to basement premises from Berwick Street on the basis that
the pavement is wider than Wardour Street entrance and therefore
capable of causing less congestion.
|
|
Amendments to
application advised at hearing:
Mr Baylis advised the
Sub-Committee that the changes sought to the layout of the Premises
had been amended in order to withdraw the creation of the main
entrance to the basement from Berwick Street. This had been
withdrawn as the Applicant considered that the plans already
specified Berwick Street as a main entrance.
|
|
Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Arturo Clis Holdings Ltd for a variation of a
premises licence in respect of Ballie
Ballerson, Basement and Ground Floor, 201-203 Wardour Street,
London, W1F 8ZH.
The Licensing Officer
introduced the application.
Mr Craig Baylis, representing
the applicant, informed the Sub-Committee that the element of the
application requesting the creation of a main entrance to the
Premises, located in the basement, from Berwick Street had now been
withdrawn. It was explained that a single premises licence covered
both the ground floor and basement areas, however there were two
separate operations on each floor. Ballie Ballerson operated from
the basement area and it was this operation which was seeking the
internal layout alterations requested. The Sub-Committee was
advised that there was currently nothing on the licence which
stated that Berwick Street could not be used as an entrance. The
plans attached to the licence highlighted that the main entrance to
the basement was from Berwick Street. No condition was attached to
the licence restricting its use and therefore approval was not
required in order to use it subject to the appropriate management
of it. Therefore, it was explained that the only changes sought to
the licence were the internal layout alterations requested. In
terms of the issues raised regarding the application, Mr Baylis was
of the opinion that the nature of them related to ...

Decision (including
reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Sub-Committee considered an
application by Palm Palace Restaurant Ltd for a variation of a
premises licence in respect of Palm Palace
Restaurant, 84 Edgware Road, London, W2 2EA.
The Licensing Officer
introduced the application.
Mr Carter,
representing the applicant, explained that the Premises had been
issued its current licence in May 2019 which had a condition
attached to it requiring all external tables and chairs to be
removed or rendered unusable by 23:00 each day. The addition of
this condition was viewed at the time by the Sub-Committee as being
a positive step in ensuring the licensing objectives were promoted.
The Sub-Committee was informed that the area where the tables and
chairs were located was a private forecourt. The application was
seeking to amend condition 13 in order to permit the use of
external tables and chairs located on the forecourt until
01:00.
Before the current
licence was issued the Premises did not benefit from a licence and,
as such, tables and chairs were placed in the forecourt area until
01:00. Mr Carter advised that this had led to no detrimental
effects on the local area. It was acknowledged that objections had
been received to the application, but the Sub-Committee’s
attention was brought to the fact that no representations had been
received from residents living directly above the Premises. The
residents had actually actively supported the application resulting
in seventeen letters of support having been received. The residents
located in the vicinity which had objected were considered to live
closer to other premises which opened later than 23:00 and
permitted the smoking of shisha outside.
Mr Carter described
the busy nature of Edgware Road which attracted large numbers of
middle-eastern customers who tended to dine out at later hours.
This was one of the reasons why many restaurants in the area traded
to 01:00 or later. Mr Carter was not aware of ...
