Temporary Event Notice for 15 and 16
October 2023
 
 
The Gun, 235 Well Street, London E9
6RG
 
The decision of 12th October
2023
 
The Licensing sub-committee, in considering this decision
from the information presented to it within the report and at the
hearing today, has determined that having regard to the promotion
of all the licensing objectives:
 
The prevention of crime and disorder;
Public safety;
Prevention of public nuisance; and
The protection of children from harm
 
and in particular upon consideration of the
‘objection’ given by the Environmental Protection Team,
is satisfied that the proposed event would not undermine the
licensing objectives. Therefore, the Sub-committee has decided not
to serve a counter notice and to allow the event to
proceed.
 
Reasons for the decision
 
The Sub-committee took into consideration the objection
received from the Environmental Protection Team for the Temporary
Event Notice for the period from  on
15/10/2023 from 11:30 finishing on 16/10/2023 at 02:00 am, which
contended that this event would undermine the licensing objectives,
on the grounds of prevention of public nuisance. The Sub-committee
carefully considered the reasons for this objection.
 
 
The Sub-committee noted that the Environmental Protection
Team was unable to attend the hearing and make representations.
Therefore, the Sub-committee could not be satisfied that the
licensing objectives would be undermined by the hours of the
premises being further extended by this Temporary Events
Notice.
 
 
The Sub-committee carefully considered the evidence
presented to them by the Premises User and this was an annual event
at the premises.
 
 
The Sub-committee took into consideration that there was a
lack of evidence from the Environmental Protection Team. The
Sub-committee felt that the Premises User was a responsible and
experienced operator who has tried and is willing to work with the
Environmental Protection Team. The Sub-committee noted there were
no previous concerns about the premises, the Police had not made
any representations,  and the last
Temporary Event at the premises raised no concerns. 
 
 
The Sub-committee considers each case on its own merits. On
balance, the Sub-committee felt that the annual Temporary Event at
the premises would not undermine the licensing objectives and it
was not appropriate in this case to issue a counter
notice.
