Summary

This meeting was to consider an application for a new premises licence at Chicken Cottage, 12 Chiswick High Road, London. The meeting was also scheduled to cover the appointment of a chair, the lack of declarations of interest, and the confirmation of prior minutes.

Chicken Cottage, 12 Chiswick High Road, London

The application from Mr Thamotharampillai Sivathasan, on behalf of Chicken Cottage, requested permission for the restaurant to provide late night refreshment:

  • Monday to Thursday 23:00 to 02:00
  • Friday and Saturday 23:00 to 04:00

They also requested that the opening hours be:

  • Monday to Thursday 11:00 to 02:00
  • Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 04:00

The premises are not currently licensed. The applicant stated that

Deliveries use Uber, Deliveroo and Just Eat. Only cycle riders and EV scooters are used after 23:00.

The application proposed that CCTV would be in operation, an incident book would be kept, and notices would be displayed asking customers to leave quietly and to dispose of waste responsibly. No one under the age of 18 would be permitted on the premises after 23:00 without an adult.

Sixteen representations were received from members of the public objecting to the application on the grounds of crime and disorder and public nuisance.

The Metropolitan Police had agreed a set of conditions with the applicant, and did not make a representation. These conditions included the requirement for CCTV, a trained member of staff to be present at all times, and the preservation of the crime scene in the event of a serious assault. The police also added a condition specifying the opening hours as:

  • Sunday to Thursday 11:00 to 02:00
  • Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 04:00

And the hours for late night refreshment as:

  • Sunday to Thursday 23:00 to 02:00
  • Friday and Saturday 23:00 to 04:00
