Licensing Act 2003 Notice of Decision
PREMISES Harrow Service Station 132 Hornchurch Road Hornchurch RM11 1DR
DETAILS OF APPLICATION
The application to vary a premises licence was made under section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Act).
APPLICANT Sectorsure Limited Greenhills Estate Office Tilford Road Farnham Surrey GU10 2DZ
1. Details of requested licensable activities
Details of the application
This variation application seeks to extend alcohol supply hours from the currently permitted hours of 08:00 to 23:00 Monday to Sunday to a 24 hour a day alcohol supply seven days a week in line with the premises’ 24-hour opening hours.
The s.182 Guidance to the Licensing Act 2003 indicates at paragraph 10.15:
Shops, stores and supermarkets should normally be free to provide sales of alcohol for consumption off the premises at any times when the retail outlet is open for shopping unless there are good reasons, based on the licensing objectives, for restricting those hours.
2. Promotion of the Licensing Objectives
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 advertisements of the application. The required public notice was installed in the Yellow Advertiser of the 1 September 2017.
3. Details of Representations
There was a representation against the application from an interested party.
4. Determination of Application
The variation sought was an increase in the hours for the sale of alcohol to 24 hours, 7 days per week, in line with the premises’ opening hours. No representations were received from the Responsible Authorities.
A written representation was received from an Interested Party, Mr Colin Edwards, objecting to the variation on the ground that it would not promote the licensing objectives, in particular the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance.
The grounds of the objection was that granting a 24 hour license would not promote the licensing objectives, particularly the prevention of crime/disorder and antisocial behaviour/public nuisance.
The objection raised the following concerns:
1). The Harrow Pub was immediately next door to the Harrow Service Station and the interested party was of the opinion that after leaving the pub at closing time, people would be able to increase their alcohol levels and re-enter the pub gardens by stepping over the low picket fence thus causing disorder and public nuisance. The objector indicated that the public house had the following closing times - 11.30pm Monday -Thursday and Sunday, and 12.00 midnight Friday and Saturday.
2). That people would be drawn to our residential area because of the attraction of the 24 hour sale of alcohol not available anywhere else in the immediate area therefore increasing the likelihood of public nuisance, public disorder, crime and also non-reportable crime such as noise, litter etc.
In response the Sub-Committee heard oral representations from Chris Mitchener on behalf of the applicant, to the effect that the concerns expressed by the Interested Party, though legitimate, were not evidence based and were not ... view the full decision text for item 1. Minutes:
