Reasons for the
decision
 
The application for a premises licence has
been approved as members of the Licensing Sub-Committee were
satisfied that the licensing objectives would not be
undermined. 
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
there were representations from the Police and the Licensing
Authority on the grounds of public nuisance.
The Sub-Committee noted that the Applicant
agreed to amend condition 30 with the Health Authority. Also, there
were no representations from other Responsible Authorities and no
representations from local residents.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration the
representations from the Applicant’s legal representative
that there was no primary evidence of noise nuisance from patrons
or residents. The premises have not added to the noise or negative
impact in the area. The Applicant has shown that they can operate
temporary events until 04:00 without cause and concern for over 10
years. The Applicant has been proactive in working with the Police,
and has operated the premises responsibly. Also, the tube station
is close to the premises and hours correspond with the tube
times.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration the
representations from the Police that their concerns related to the
negative impact in an area with a number of venues. The premises
is in a pedestrian area and hotspot for
late night venues dispersing. The Police also had concerns about
vulnerable females late at night. The Police made representations
that later dispersal will result in people being outside the
premises later at night.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration the
representations from the Licensing Authority that their concerns
relating to the negative impact of operating beyond core hours, and
the non-standard hours.
 
The Sub-Committee decided to grant the
premises license because they felt that the Applicant demonstrated
that they were willing to work with the Police to prevent public
nuisance, and they were satisfied that the Applicant would not
undermine the licensing objectives. The Sub-Committee noted that
the premises has staff monitoring
customers, the toilets and monitoring the premises area to ensure
safety for their customers. The Sub-Committee felt that the
Applicant was prepared to compromise on the operating hours.
 
The Sub-Committee took into consideration that
the premises have had a number of temporary event notices without
incident. The Applicant has demonstrated that the premises can
operate responsibly, and have a staggered dispersal of customers.
The Sub-Committee noted that the premises are accredited with
Hackney Nights.
 
 
Having taken all of the above factors into
consideration the Sub-Committee was satisfied that by granting the
premises licence the licensing objectives would not be
undermined.
