Application for a New Sex Establishment Licence in respect of Soho Original Adult Store 12 Brewer Street London W1F 0SF  22/00106/LISEXN

 

                                           Full Decision

 

Applicant

 

Mr. Timothy Hemming

 

 

The Committee has considered an application for a new Sex Establishment Licence under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as amended

(“The Act”) for the premises known as Soho Original Adult Store situated at 12 Brewer Street, London W1F 0SF.  The Premises have had the benefit of a licence which expired in 2017.

 

A new licence was applied for and granted in 2017.  Annual renewal applications have been submitted and granted by delegated authority.  However, it was noted that due to an administrative oversight, the applicant did not renew the licence in 2021 and the licence lapsed.

 

The Committee having carefully considered the application decided to grant the application subject to the conditions specified below.

 

The Committee noted that there were no objections to the application from the Police or the Licensing Authority.

 

Conditions attached to the Licence

 

1.     The licence or a clear copy shall be prominently displayed at all times so as to be readily and easily seen by all persons using the premises.

 

2.     The premises shall not, for any purpose of the licence, be

opened before 09:00 hours and shall not be kept open beyond 00:00 hours.

 

3.     (a) The licensee shall take all reasonable precautions for the safety of the public and employees and except with the consent of the Council, shall retain control over all portions of the premises.

 

(b) No poster, advertisement, photograph, sketch, synopsis or programme shall be displayed by or on behalf of the licensee at the licensed premises or at any other public place except in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992 or any Order amending or replacing the same.

 

          (c) The premises may not be used under the terms of the licence unless and until any necessary permission and/or consents have been obtained pursuant to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the London Building Acts 1930-1939 and the Building Act 1984 or any legislation amending or replacing the same.

 

4.      (a) The licensee or some responsible person over 18 years of age nominated by him in writing for the purpose shall be in charge of, and upon, the licensed premises during the whole time that they are open to the public. Such written nomination shall be continuously available for inspection by a police officer or an officer authorised in writing by the Council.

 

(b) The person in charge shall not be engaged on any duties which will prevent him from exercising general supervision and he shall be assisted as necessary by suitable adult persons to ensure adequate supervision. The person in charge should be  ...  view the full minutes text for item 1.
