Application by the Metropolitan Police to review the premises licence for 'Bar 07 (Masters)' (217 Kenton Road, Harrow HA3 0HD) pursuant to the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003
The application was adjourned at the meeting of Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee (B) on Tuesday, 13 January 2015.
Minutes:
Responsible authority present:
PC Sam Lewis-Evans (Brent Police Licensing)
PC Nicola McDonald (Brent Police Licensing)
PC Paul Whitcomb (Brent Police Licensing)
The premises licence holder was neither present, nor represented.
The Sub-Committee noted that this was the second time that the premises licence holder had failed to attend the application for the review of their premise licence after the first review hearing was adjourned at the meeting of the Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee (B) on 13 January 2015. The Sub-Committee had regard to the decision to adjourn on 13 January 2015 which included notifying the premises licence holder that should they fail to attend a future hearing for whatever reason, then the application may be considered in their absence. In addition, it was noted that the premises licence holder had confirmed in writing to the licensing authority that he would not be attending the hearing and that he had instructed a firm to start proceedings with a view to placing the holding company in respect of Bar 07 (Masters) into liquidation. In view of these facts, the Sub-Committee felt that it was reasonable to proceed with the application taking into account all the circumstances of the case.
Having considered the matter, the Sub-Committee then asked the police to leave the room to allow the Sub-Committee to discuss the relevant issues concerning the application.
RESOLVED:
Having considered the application by the Metropolitan Police to review the premises licence for ‘Bar 07 (Masters)’ (217 Kenton Road, Harrow HA3 0HD) pursuant to the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003, the Sub-Committee resolved that the premises licence be revoked.
The Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee (B), having carefully considered the application, accepted the evidence in the Metropolitan Police’s written representation that there had been numerous incidents of serious crime and disorder associated with the premises, whilst there had also been a number of significant breaches of the premises licence. The Sub-Committee also noted the evidence in the Metropolitan Police’s written representation that there had been poor management of the premises which could not continue indefinitely thereby adversely affecting the licensing objectives. It therefore felt that the premises licence holder had failed to demonstrate over an extensive period of time their ability to uphold the promotion of the licensing objectives (prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance, ensuring public safety and protection of children from harm). Accordingly, in all of the circumstances of the case the Sub-Committee felt that it was reasonable, proportionate and necessary to revoke the premises licence.
The Sub-Committee during its decision making process considered all of the evidence having regard to the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, amended guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the licence holders human rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 (namely Article 6, Article 8 and Article 1 of the First Protocol).
