Agenda item

That the application by Luke Allen for a variation to the premises licence for ‘The Shop’ (75 Chamberlayne Road, London, NW10 3ND) pursuant to the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003 be approved as amended and with conditions as agreed with the police and the Council’s public safety officer, subject to amendments to some of these conditions.

(i) that the following licensable activities be permitted:-

1.    That the front external area be licensed to permit customers of no more than 14 at any time  to be used no later than 22.00 Sunday to Thursday and 23.00 Friday and Saturday and the days proceeding a public bank holiday.

2.    That licensable activities cease at 00:00 and the premises close to the public at 00:30 (the following day).

(ii) that the following conditions be added to the premises licence:-

That conditions as agreed with the police and the Council’s public safety officer be added to the premises licence, subject to the following amendments:-

Condition 9 to read: The total number of people on the premises, including staff and performers to not exceed the set number agreed by the Council’s Public Safety Team (which has yet to be determined).

Condition 11 to read: The maximum number of persons permitted on the ground floor only shall not exceed 60 including 14 in the front external area and staff as more particularly detailed hatched black on the additional plan.

Condition 15 (No form of loudspeaker or other sound amplification equipment shall be sited on or near the exterior premises or in or near any foyer, doorway, window or opening to the premises) to replace condition 8 on the existing premises licence. 

The Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee (C) acknowledged that the revised application to add the front external area only to be licensed addressed many of the residents’ concerns in their written representations.  In addition, the Sub-Committee felt that the conditions already agreed with the police and the Council’s public safety officer also addressed the previous concerns raised in the representations.  It felt that by amending some of the conditions agreed upon and in allowing 30 minutes ‘drinking up’ time after all licensable activities had ceased would help the licence premises holder promote the licensing objectives (prevention of public nuisance, prevention of crime and disorder, ensuring public safety and protection of children from harm) and accordingly the application for variation of the premises licence as amended was agreed.
