The required public notice was installed in the 28 June 2017 edition of the Yellow Advertiser.

2.    Details of Representations

There were three (3) representations against this application from interested persons all of whom lived in close proximity to the application premises.

Details of representations

Mr & Mrs Cox were looking for a reduction in the current opening hours to 06:00 to 22:00 hours because of concerns about noise.

The other two respondents were concerned about ASB and public nuisance and were concerned that the sale of alcohol 24 hours per day would exacerbate the situation.

3.    Applicant’s response.

The applicant’s agent, Mr Mitchener, reminded the Sub-Committee that the premises were already open 24 hours per day and the application would only see changes for 6 hours per day. He reiterated that there were no representations from responsible authorities.

He addressed the issues raised by Mr & Mrs Cox which in his opinion related to the existence of the filling station rather than the variation applied for.

The other two representations related to alleged ASB of those using the filling station. He had advised the Sub-Committee that having spoken to the Manager of the filling station he did not recognise any of the incidents reported by the residents.

The representatives had complained about tanker deliveries in the early hours. He advised that in the last six months all deliveries had been during the day.

The premises would be run by a contract manager, responsible for employing staff but Motor Fuel Limited would undertake all training which would include 3 monthly refresher training.

4.    Determination of Application

In making its decision, the Sub-Committee also had regard to the Guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and Havering’s Licensing Policy.

In addition, the Sub-Committee took account of its obligations under section 117 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, and Articles 1 and 8 of the First Protocol of the Human Rights Act 1998.
