Minutes: Responsible authority making a representation
PC Sam Lewis-Evans (Brent Police) Nick Mortimer (Brent Police)
Neither the premises licence holder nor a representative were present at the hearing.
Members considered whether to proceed with the application in the absence of the premises licence holder and a representative. PC Sam Lewis-Evans then referred to correspondence between the premises licence holder and herself and with the approval of the Chair, she distributed this to the sub-committee. Members noted that the premises licence holder had indicated that he would not be attending the hearing, however he would be happy for the application to be heard in his absence. In view of this, the sub-committee agreed to consider the application.
Yogini Patel (Senior Regulatory Services Manager, Environment and Protection) introduced the matter and set out the grounds on which the review of the premises licence had been made, these being crime and disorder, public nuisance and public safety.
Horatio Chance (Legal Adviser) then advised the sub-committee of the various actions it could take upon considering the application to review the premises licence.
Responsible authority making a representation
PC Sam Lewis-Evans (Brent Police) submitted her evidence and confirmed that the premises licence holder had agreed to some conditions, including that drinks must only must be served in polycarbonate or plastic drinking vessels. However, an agreement on other conditions she had requested had not been reached, and as the premises licence holder was not intending to vary the hours of licensable activities, PC Sam Lewis-Evans requested that all the conditions she had requested be included on the premises licence.
PC Sam Lewis-Evans then responded to questions from members with regard to the nature of the premises licence holder’s business, CCTV and the existing conditions 11 and 14 on the premises licence. Nick Mortimer (Brent Police) added that condition 14 could be amended to reflect the usual wording of such a condition.
