Reasons for the
decision
 
The application for a premises licence has
been approved as members of the Licensing Sub-Committee were
satisfied that the licensing objectives would not be
undermined. 
 
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
there were 19 representations from Other Persons (local residents),
9 objections to the application and 10 representations in support
of the application. The Sub-Committee noted the Environmental
Enforcement Service withdrew their representations before the
hearing after agreeing conditions with the Applicant. The
Sub-Committee took into account that the Licensing Authority made
representations on the grounds of the prevention of Public
Nuisance. The Sub-Committee noted that no other Responsible
Authorities made representations.
 
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration the
Applicant’s legal representative’s representations that
there will be little difference in the operation of the premises
that will remain a members club.
 
 
The Sub-Committee heard the Applicant’s
representations that the Environmental Protection Service visited
the premises and had no issues with the noise at the premises. The
Sub-Committee noted that on Wednesday and Thursday night there is a
door entry system which ensures safety for customers entering the
premises. In addition they have a
security guard on Fridays and Saturdays.
 
 
The Sub-Committee took into account the
Applicant’s legal representative made representations that
there were no other complaints about other parts of the premises as
the music was played through a noise limiter. The Applicant’s
legal representative made representations that the noise was tested
at 85 dB and there was no noise found outside of the premises and
the windows and doors were closed.
 
 
The Sub-Committee noted that since the
recalibration of the noise limiter in August 2025 no new noise
complaints were received.
 
 
The Sub-Committee noted the Licensing
Authority maintained their objections, however, they were satisfied
that the concerns were addressed by the Applicant. The
Sub-Committee felt that the conditions helped to mitigate the
concerns and overcome the objections. The Sub-Committee took into
consideration the comprehensive dispersal policy provided by the
Applicant and they were satisfied that the Applicant had
demonstrated that they had the necessary processes and procedures
in place to operate the premises responsibly and to prevent any
public nuisance. The Sub-Committee noted that the Applicant
demonstrated that they were prepared to work with the local
residents and to resolve any concerns.
 
 
The Sub-Committee took into account that the
Applicant had invited the Environmental Protection Service to
inspect the soundproofing works and the noise limiter. However the Sub-Committee noted that the
Environmental Protection Service had failed to make any
representations.
 
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
the application was supported by the Clissold Ward Councillor.
 
 
Having taken all of the above factors into
consideration the Sub-Committee was satisfied that by granting the
premises licence the licensing objectives would not be
undermined.
