The prevention of crime and disorder ? Public safety ? Prevention of public nuisance ?

The local residents did not attend the hearing, however, their written representations were taken into account. The Sub-Committee noted there were no objections from the other Responsible Authorities.   The Sub-Committee took into consideration representations from the Premises Licence Holder’s legal representative that the Premises Licence Holder had demand from customers buying groceries who want to buy alcohol after 23:00. The Sub-Committee heard that the extension of hours is being applied for in response to this demand. The Premises Licence Holder contended that the additional hours will not add to the cumulative impact in the area. The Sub-Committee noted that the Premises Licence Holder has lived and worked in the borough for a number of years and is familiar with the nature of the area.   The Sub-Committee decided after hearing from the representative of the Premises Licence holder to grant the extended hours. The Sub-Committee felt that on this occasion the objections raised by the local residents were generally about the area and were not specific to the premises.   The Sub-Committee took into account the current Section 182 Guidance when making their decision.   Having taken all of the above factors into consideration the Sub-Committee was satisfied that by granting this variation of the premises licence, the licensing objectives would continue to be promoted in the Dalston Special Consideration Area (Dalston SCA).
