The Licensing Sub Committee B is scheduled to meet to consider a premises licence variation for The Archway, and a new licence application for Lot 103, 103 Newington Green Road.

The Archway, 1 Navigator Square - Premises Licence Variation

The committee will consider an application for a variation of the premises licence for The Archway, First Floor, 1 Navigator Square, N19 3TD.

The premises currently has a licence to:

• Sell alcohol on the premises from 9am to 1am Sundays to Wednesdays, 9am to 2am on Thursdays, and 9am to 3:30am on Fridays and Saturdays.
• Provide regulated entertainment¹ in the form of films, live music, recorded music and dance from 9am to 1am Sundays to Wednesdays, 9am to 2:30am on Thursdays, and 9am to 4am on Fridays and Saturdays.
• Provide late night refreshment from 11pm to 1am Sundays to Thursdays, and from 11pm to 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
• Open from 9am to 1:30am Sundays to Wednesdays, 9am to 2:30am on Thursdays, and 9am to 4am on Fridays and Saturdays.

The applicant is requesting a variation to allow:

• An extension to the capacity of the smoking terrace to a maximum of 60 people when the rest of the venue is not in operation, from 9am to 1am Sundays to Wednesdays, and 9am to 2am Thursdays to Saturdays.
• Condition 12 to be amended to allow drinks to be taken onto the terrace after 11pm when the rest of the venue is not in operation.
• Condition 25b to be amended to allow one Security Industry Authority (SIA) operative after 11pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday when only the terrace is in operation.
• Condition 37 to be amended to allow 30 people on the terrace from 11pm when the whole club is in operation.

According to the report pack, the council's planning department has advised that the structure on the roof terrace does not have planning permission and that the owner would need to submit a retrospective planning application.

The Licensing Authority has raised concerns that the use of the smoking roof terrace may cause a nuisance to residents.

The report pack notes that the premises is located in the Junction Cumulative Impact Area², meaning that there is a presumption of refusal unless the sub-committee is satisfied that there will be no adverse cumulative impact on the licensing objectives³.
