Decision (including reasons if different from those set out in report):
The Chairman noted that a number of additional papers had been submitted by the Applicant just prior to the meeting and sought the agreement of all other interested parties present that they would accept these to be taken into consideration by the Sub-Committee in its determination of the matter. Dave Nevitt (Environmental Health), Melville Haggard (Knightsbridge Association) and Robert Boktai (Winkworth Sherwood on behalf of the Knightsbridge Residents Management Company Limited) all confirmed their acceptance of these papers respectively.
Jeremy Bark (Solicitor, representing the Applicant) stated that the rationale for the variation application was to move the hotel’s ground floor bar to the basement where the hotel restaurant was currently located. The restaurant would be duly moved to the ground floor of the Premises. There would be potential for customers to stand whilst consuming alcohol in the area marked hatched on the plans in the proposed basement bar, however customers would be encouraged to be seated. At the entrance of the Premises, staff would direct customers to the ground floor restaurant or the basement bar accordingly. Mr Bark informed the Sub-Committee that the Premises was undergoing a substantial refurbishment. He then referred to an additional paper circulated that included further amendments to proposed conditions 30 to 39 in the report, following Mr Boktai’s response to them.
At this point Mr Boktai advised that he had not seen these further amended conditions.
The Sub-Committee then agreed to the Chairman’s suggestion that there should be a short adjournment whilst the Applicant and all interested parties had the opportunity to discuss amongst themselves the most recently proposed conditions before re-commencing the hearing.
Upon resumption of the hearing, Melville Haggard (Knightsbridge Association) indicated that he was satisfied with the proposed conditions following discussions and formally withdrew his representation on behalf of the Knightsbridge Association and at that point with the consent of the Sub-Committee Mr Haggard left the hearing
Mr Bark then referred to proposed conditions 30 to 39 on pages 37 and 38 of the additional papers circulated. Mr Bark stated that proposed condition 34 which stated that “The supply of alcohol on the ground floor restaurant shall be by waiter or waitress service only, other than to persons seated at the counter who may be served directly” was necessary otherwise customers would be required to take the drinks from the counter and then give these to the waiter or waitress to return back to them. The Sub-Committee was advised that in respect of condition 37 concerning a host being present in the lobby area of the restaurant when it was open to non-residents, that the hours a host would be in attendance would be from 07:00 hours to 01:00 hours and each host would do an eight hour shift. The Sub-Committee noted that the capacity for smokers would be around 12 people.
Dave Nevitt (Environmental Health) then addressed the Sub-Committee and stated that he had no particular concerns in respect of the proposed layout changes and the capacity limits and the Premises was well managed. The Sub-Committee was advised that the wording of the proposed conditions had been discussed with the Applicant and residents and he felt that the use of a host carrying out a meet and greet function was helpful. In relation to proposed condition 31 regarding customers consuming alcohol in the hatched bar area of the restaurant, Mr Nevitt suggested that this only be permitted temporarily whilst customers were waiting to be seated and that this condition be re-worded accordingly. He also felt some wording in brackets in conditions 32 and 35 were extraneous and could be deleted because they did not add to the construction of the conditions in terms of their meaning. Mr Nevitt stated that otherwise he was content with the conditions proposed, however he suggested adding model conditions 22, 57, and 67 relating to smoking capacity, prevention of drinks and glasses being taken out of the Premises for customers temporarily leaving the Premises and designation of a smoking area respectively. Mr Nevitt added that the terrace area facing Knightsbridge Crescent might be an appropriate area for designated smoking and he suggested that a capacity of 15 people for this area would be acceptable.
Robert Boktai (Winkworth Sherwood on behalf of the Knightsbridge Residents Management Company Limited) confirmed that he was content with the conditions proposed, apart from an amendment to condition 39 (b) to read “Non-residents shall only use the basement bar area between the hours of 7am and 1am on Mondays to Saturdays and 11pm on Sundays and bank holidays.”.
At this point, Mr Bark confirmed acceptance of this amendment on behalf of the Applicant. Mr Bank also confirmed acceptance on behalf of the Applicant model conditions 22, 57 and 67 as suggested by Mr Nevitt.
The Legal Adviser to the Sub-Committee asked whether the Applicant would be satisfied with a slight re-wording of proposed condition 37 so that it to read “A host shall be present at all times within the ground floor restaurant meet and greet lobby area whenever this area is open to non-residents” and to the deletion of the last two sentences. Mr Bark agreed to this change on behalf of the Applicant.
The Sub-Committee granted the application with the proposed conditions as agreed between the Applicant and all interested parties at the hearing. Model condition 22 was added concerning patrons being allowed to leave and re-enter the Premises for activities such as smoking, and limited to 15 people, as suggested by Mr Nevitt on behalf of Environmental Health. Model condition 57 stating that patrons temporarily leaving and re-entering the Premises shall not be permitted to take drinks or glass containers with them and model condition 67 specifying the designated smoking area identified on the plans were also added, following Mr Nevitt’s suggestion. The Sub-Committee also noted that Mr Banks had agreed to model conditions 22, 57 and 67 on behalf of the Applicant at the hearing when adding these conditions to the Sub-Committee’s decision. The Sub-Committee also added a further condition stating that revised plans be submitted and labelled accordingly, including specifying the host area and smoking area, as well as all other licensable activities.
In determining the application, the Sub-Committee noted that the Premises was not located in a cumulative impact area and therefore has to consider each case on its individual merits. The Sub-Committee considered that the conditions imposed on the premises licence would assist the Applicant in promoting the licensing objectives (prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance, public safety, and protection of children from harm) and on that basis the application was granted.
