Application by Samia Asah for a premises licence for 'Al-Asad' (268 Preston Road, Wembley, HA3 0PY) pursuant to provisions of the Licensing Act 2003 Decision: that the application by Samia Asah for a premises licence for ‘Al-Asad’ (268 Preston Road, Wembley, HA3 0PY) (“the premises”) pursuant to the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003 be refused.
The Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee (B) accepted the police’s evidence in their representation with regard to incidences of breaching of the licensing regulations, both when the premises was licensed and subsequent to its licence being revoked. It was noted that each application should be considered on its own individual merits, however the Sub-Committee did not feel that there was sufficient documentary evidence to show that the premises had changed ownership by the deduction of title. In addition, it was felt that the application lacked material detail as to how the licensing objectives (the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of nuisance, the protection of children from harm) would be met. . It was further considered whether the premises licence holder would have sufficient management experience of dealing with the premises in an efficient and effective way in order to be able to uphold the licensing objectives. Having considered all of the evidence, government guidance under s.182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the Councils licensing policy the application was refused. Minutes: that the application by Samia Asah for a premises licence for ‘Al-Asad’ (268 Preston Road, Wembley, HA3 0PY) (“the premises”) pursuant to the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003 be refused.

Application by Rajaratnam Ranjithkumar for a personal premises licence pursuant to provisions of the Licensing Act 2003 Decision: that the application by Rajaratnam Ranjithkumar for a personal premises licence pursuant to the Licensing Act 2003 be refused.
The applicant has an unspent conviction against him of a relevant offence under Schedule 8 of the Licensing Act 2003. The sub-committee therefore has a duty to consider the application on its individual merits. Evidence was put forward by the police on the basis that all reasonable efforts had been made to contact the applicant but to no avail. The police object to the grant of a personal licence as they are satisfied that granting the application would undermine the licensing objective (the prevention of crime and disorder).
By paragraph 4 of the statutory guidance, the Secretary of State recommends that where the police have issued an objection notice, refusal of the application shall be automatic unless there are “exceptional and compelling circumstances” which justify granting the same. Accordingly, no such representations were made.
The Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee (B) considered that as the applicant had a relevant unspent conviction outstanding, had failed to respond to police requests to discuss his application and had not attended the sub-committee meeting, nor provided evidence to suggest there were exceptional or compelling circumstances it was considered in all of the circumstances of the case that the applicant would not uphold the licensing objective for the promotion of crime and disorder and accordingly the application was refused.
