The Archway, 1 Navigator Square - Premises Licence Variation

The sub committee was scheduled to consider an application for a variation of the premises licence for The Archway, located at First Floor, 1 Navigator Square, N19 3TD.

The existing licence for The Archway allows:

• The sale of alcohol on the premises.
• Regulated entertainments including films, live music, recorded music and the performance of dance.
• The provision of late-night refreshment.
• The premises to open until 01:30 Sundays to Wednesdays, 02:30 on Thursdays, and 04:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.

Archway Bars Ltd applied to vary the licence to:

• Extend the capacity of the smoking terrace to a maximum of 60 people when the rest of the venue is not in operation, from 09:00 to 01:00 Sundays to Wednesdays, and from 09:00 to 02:00 Thursdays to Saturdays.
• Amend condition 12 to allow drinks to be taken onto the terrace after 23:00 when the rest of the venue is not in operation.
• Amend condition 25b to allow one Security Industry Authority (SIA) operative after 23:00 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday when only the terrace is in operation.
• Amend condition 37 to allow 30 people on the terrace from 23:00 when the whole club is in operation.

According to the report pack, representations were received from the Licensing Authority and a local resident. The Metropolitan Police and the Council’s Noise Service made no objections, as conditions had been agreed.

The Licensing Authority noted that the premises is in the Junction Cumulative Impact Area¹ and that therefore Licensing Policy 3 applied, creating a presumption of refusal unless the Sub-Committee is satisfied that there will be no adverse cumulative impact on the licensing objectives. The Licensing Authority also raised concerns that planning permission was not in place for the structure on the roof terrace. They also noted that the Commercial Environmental Health Team had advised that the roof terrace is substantially enclosed, and therefore may not comply with smoke-free regulations².
