The Licensing Review Sub-Committee will be provided with a report on Councillor memberships of outside bodies. It will also be asked to review the Premises Licence of the Greenwich Convenience Store on Woolwich Road.

Greenwich Convenience Store, 100 Woolwich Road, SE10 0LE

The Sub-Committee has received an application from Ian Andrews, Head of Royal Borough of Greenwich Trading Standards & Commercial Environmental Health to review the Premises Licence of the Greenwich Convenience Store. The application was made because on 9 February 2024 a nicotine-based vape product was sold to a person under the age of 18.

Trading Standards is seeking the addition of seven conditions to the Licence. The conditions would require the Greenwich Convenience Store to operate a “Challenge 25” proof of age scheme, keep a refusals log, train staff, display statutory posters and label products sold for consumption off the premises.

The application was made under the Licensing Act 2003's grounds of Preventing Crime and Disorder and Protecting Children from Harm. Under the terms of the act, the Sub-Committee may choose to take a number of actions, including modifying the conditions of the licence, excluding a licensable activity, removing the existing Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS), suspending the licence, or revoking it entirely.

The Licensing Act 2003 states that:

The licensing authority may only consider representations if they are relevant to one of the four licensing objectives: • Prevention of Crime & Disorder • Prevention of Public Nuisance • Public Safety • Protection of Children from Harm.

The Sub-Committee may only consider matters that have been raised with them based on the grounds for review and by way of representation. The Sub-Committee may not consider any other matters when making their decision.

Councillors are also required to orally declare any personal or financial interests, including those detailed in specific items listed on the agenda as they relate to matters under discussion.

Under The Localism Act 2011, a Councillor must declare a 'Disclosable Pecuniary Interest' when the matter under consideration relates to that interest, and that interest is one which a member of the public with knowledge of the facts would reasonably think is likely to influence the Councillor in their decision-making.

Failure to declare such an interest when required to do so is a criminal offence.
