Reasons for the
decision
 
The application for a premises licence has
been approved because the Licensing Sub-committee was satisfied
that the licensing objectives would not be undermined.
 
The Sub-committee approved the application as
applied for regulated entertainment, late night refreshment and
supply of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises as set
out in the report with the above additional conditions agreed by
the Applicant to be added to the premises licence. The hours of
operation applied for were approved without amendment.
 
The Sub-committee took into consideration that
the Environmental Protection Team and the Metropolitan Police
Service (“the Police”) agreed conditions in advance of
the hearing with the Applicant and withdrew their representations.
The Sub-committee noted that the Police had withdrawn their
representation based on agreed terminal hours for late night
refreshment and New Year’s Eve.
 
The Sub-committee took into consideration the
representations made by the Licensing Authority objecting to this
application, and their concerns about public nuisance. The
Sub-committee noted that there were no representations from local
residents.
 
The Sub-committee took into consideration the
Applicant’s representations by their legal representative
that entry to the premises was by booking on each floor, the use
will be limited from 08:00 to 02:00, and there was a bespoke use of
security staff on all floors. The Sub-committee noted that the
premises are not in a special policy area at the moment.
 
The Sub-committee took into account the
Licensing Authority’s representation, following a site visit,
that the premises will be run to the highest standard in the
vicinity. Following this site visit the Licensing Authority had no
concerns.
 
The Sub-committee felt that the Applicant gave
them assurances about how the premises would operate with limited
access to members of the public.
 
Due to the height of the premises noise
nuisance would not be an issue to local residents. The
Sub-committee took into consideration that the Licensing Authority
was satisfied that the Applicant would operate the premises to a
high standard.
 
The Sub-committee took into consideration that
the Applicant agreed that the terrace on the fifth floor would be
closed after 23:00 hours, and there would be no new entry to the
premises for non-residents and members of the public from midnight
to 02:00.
 
Having taken all of the above factors into
consideration, the Licensing Sub-committee was satisfied, when
granting the application for a premises licence, that the Applicant
had agreed conditions, and that the licensing objectives would not
be undermined.
