The applicant acted in accordance with regulations 25 and 26 of The Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises certificates) Regulations 2005 relating to the advertising of the application.  The required public notice was installed in the 14 July 2017 edition of the Romford Recorder.

 

Since the original application was submitted on the 5 July 2017, the licensing office has received an amended operating schedule removing Late Night Refreshment and Recorded Music from the application. This amendment was submitted on the 31 July 2017 which was 2 days before the consultation period end date.

 

The Premises was situated just outside of the Ring Road which circled Romford Town Centre so it fell just outside of the Cumulative Impact Zone.

 

2.     Details of Representations

 

There was 1 representation against the application from an interested person.

 

There were 3 representations against the application from responsible authorities. These were from the following: licensing authority, planning department and the Metropolitan Police.

 

 

Details of representations

 

Valid representations may only address the following licensing objectives:

 

  • The prevention of crime and disorder
  • The prevention of public nuisance
  • The protection of children from harm
  • Public safety

 

The representation from an interested person related to the prevention of crime and disorder, the prevention of public nuisance and public safety.

 

The representation from the licensing authority related to all four of the objectives.

 

Mr Jones, representing the licensing authority, addressed the Sub-Committee and advised that the licensing authority had concerns that there was a likelihood that the premises would be inclined to operate in a fashion contrary to the promotion of the licensing objectives. This concern was based upon an allegation received from a member of the public, a follow-up site inspection made by a member of the licensing authority and an assessment of the application as submitted.

 

The representation from the planning department related to the prevention of public nuisance.

 

There was no representative from the planning department present at the hearing.

 

The representation from the Metropolitan Police related to the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance.

 

PC Daly addressed the Sub-Committee and advised that the initial application received had little detail on how the business intended to operate. Police licensing officers had attended the premises to speak with the owners. The premises itself appears to be set up in the format of a social bar, there is a small bar to the right as you enter the door and a pool table to the rear. The premises licence holder stated that he intended to operate as a restaurant; however there were no kitchen facilities within the building.

 

A revised schedule of conditions had been offered by the applicant  ...  view the full decision text for item 1.
