Decision The Sub-Committee decided that the application for variation of condition 9 on the licence held by Sudbury Retail Ltd for the sale of alcohol at premises "Budgens", (959-963 Harrow Road, Wembley, HA0 2SF) be refused.
Informative The Sub-Committee added an informative that in view of the number of personal licence holders within the management structure of this business, a staff rota should be in place which would ensure a licence holder was present during opening times, so there would be no requirement for every single member of staff to be trained.
The record and the reasons for the Sub-Committee’s decision are as set out below.
The application The Sub-Committee has given careful consideration to an application by the premises licence holders, under section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003, to vary the premises licence relating to Budgen’s 959-963 Harrow Road Wembley HAO 2SF, in that Condition 9 of the licence - A personal Licence holder fluent in English shall be present on the premises and supervise the sale of alcohol throughout the permitted hours for the sale of alcohol, be removed. Mr Mark Davoren and Mr Ryan O’Leary are the premises licence holders. Mr Chiragkumar Chapipaklal Ghandi is the designated premises supervisor (DPS). The premises are licensed for the provision of late night refreshment and the sale of alcohol Monday to Wednesday from 06.00 hours to 00.00 hours and Thursday to Sunday from 06.00 hours to 01.00 hours.
The police objected to the application raising concerns about the following licensing objectives: prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, public nuisance and the protection of children from harm. The Police alleged that Mr Davoren and Mr O’Leary have failed to operate the premises within the limits of the licence and breached the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003 namely no personal licence holder present on two occasions, challenge 21 Policy not adhered to, shop lifting and an assault. According to the Police, advice, and a formal written warning has not been heeded by Mr Davoren and Mr O’Leary.
