Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Licensing Sub-Committee considered the Application for a Premises Licence at 1336 London Road, Norbury, SW16 4DG and the representations received as contained in the report of the Executive Director ‘Place’.

 

The Sub-Committee considered the amendments made by the Applicant to their application following discussions with the Council’s Safety Team as detailed within the report and noted the prior discussions which the applicant had with the police as detailed before the Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee also considered the verbal representations made by the Applicant and their representative and a Ward Councillor at the hearing.

 

The Sub-Committee, having reference to the licensing objectives under the Licensing Act 2003 and the Council Licensing Policy the Sub-Committee have RESOLVED to GRANT the application on the basis that they were satisfied that it would support the Licensing Objectives to do so.

 

The Sub-Committee took particular note of the Applicant’s considered approach to the concerns that had been raised by the Ward Councillors in their written representations, as well as in the verbal representations at the hearing and the steps proposed to address these concerns, including in relation to ensuring that customers behave considerately towards neighbours when leaving or using smoking areas, that the area outside the premises is kept clean and tidy, but also in relation to the approach to minimising noise disturbance from the premises. The Sub-Committee was mindful of the fact that premises license holders are not responsible for the behaviour of patrons once they are beyond the management and control of the premises, however the Sub-Committee welcomed the enthusiasm of the Applicant and the clear commitment to the community including in relation to the manner in which the business would be operated with service of alcohol being ancillary to the service of food and off sales of alcohol being as part of a delivery of a meal/s. The Sub-Committee also welcomed the conditions proposed by the Applicant to support the Licensing Objectives which will be appended to the Application as granted.
