Licensing Act 2003 Notice of Decision
PREMISES Black Moth Barbers 210 Hornchurch Road Hornchurch RM11 1QJ
DETAILS OF APPLICATION
This application for a premises licenceis made by Black Moth Barbers Ltd under section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Act).
APPLICANT Black Moth Barbers Ltd 210 Hornchurch Road Hornchurch RM11 1QJ
1. Details of requested licensable activities
The Sub-Committee considered an application for a new premises licence for Black Moth Barbers Ltd.
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 advertising of the application. The required public notice was installed in the Romford Recorder on Friday 22 December 2017.
3. Details of Representations
There were three representations against the application for a new premises licence.
There was one representation from interested persons; a letter with two persons named as objectors.
There were two representations from responsible authorities namely Trading Standards and Licensing Authority.
4. Determination of Application
The Sub-Committee’s hearing was opened by Paul Campbell of the Council’s Licensing Team.
The Sub-Committee received written representations, and heard evidence and oral submissions from Mr Kasey Conway, Havering Licensing Authority, objecting on all four licensing objectives and the lack of detail within the application.
The Sub-Committee was informed that the application caused the Licensing Authority concern by the minimum amount of information in the operating schedule as submitted appeared inadequate to support the premises intended usage as a barbershop. The applicant was advised to look at Havering’s Licensing Policy and re-submit an updated operating schedule, which seemed to have been ignored. The application was not clear how the storage of alcohol would be managed, how it would be dispensed and what provisions would be put in place to supervise people’s conduct when on the premises.
It was mentioned that the Authority had a high standard and the application submitted fell below that standard and given these concerns the Authority had little confidence that the business operators had a sufficiently diligent approach to promoting the Licensing objectives. Consequently, the Authority was unable to support the application at this time.
The Sub-Committee was informed that if the application was refused and the applicant wished, a new application could be submitted, complete with a full operating schedule. The Authority would like to review an application that informed exactly how the premises would address the licensing objectives within the appropriate conditions offered, so problems would not arise in the future if the licence were transferred to another person/body.
The Sub-Committee received written representations, and heard evidence and oral submissions from Ms Taylor, Havering Trading Standards, objecting on the grounds of protection of children from harm.
Ms Taylor informed the Sub-Committee that following receipt of the application, it was her opinion that in its current state, the applicant had not addressed the concerns of Trading Standards, with regards to the licensing objective of protection of children from harm.
