Minutes:
Yogini Patel, Senior Regulatory Services Manager introduced the application by Nuno Rodrigues for a premises licence for 'Grill 4 You' (758 Harrow Road, London, NW10 5LE). She highlighted that conditions to reduce the hours to 11pm and remove the request for entertainment had been agreed with the Police and the remaining representations had been received from local residents.
The applicant’s agent was invited to make his representation and made the following points:
· Grill 4 You was a café and had applied for a premises licence to enable customers to have an alcoholic beverage whilst dining. It was intended that the main activity would be food with alcohol being a compliment.
· Various initiatives such as training staff, CCTV and appropriate signage had been put in place to promote the licensing objectives.
· It was felt many of the objections received were in relation to frustrations of the area and concern that another licenced premises meant intoxicated persons on the streets.
· The objector living above the premises had subsequently moved and all other objectors lived approximately 150m from the premises.
· The hours of the application had been reduced and entertainment removed in order to address residents concerns and felt they had been fair whilst still trying to deliver a successful business.
During questions of the applicants’ the following points were clarified:
· The premises was located in a new building approximately 150m from the main junction.
· The applicant’s wanted a good relationship with their neighbours and may consider a variation in the future if appropriate.
· The premises specialised in Portuguese food often showing football and it was anticipated customers may eat late due to consuming snacks whilst watching sports.
· The area had several nightclubs which caused concern to residents once patrons left.
· The TV would not be amplified.
· Grill 4 You had two rubbish collections per week with the rubbish stored at the back of the premises.
