DETAILS OF APPLICATION

This application for a (new premises licence) was made under section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Act”).

APPLICANT

Mrs Lorraine Webb

1.                Licensable Activities applied for:

     *NB the applicant reduced this terminal hour from that originally sought subsequent to the application’s submission.

Non-standard timings for all licensable activities

From the start of permitted hours on New Year’s Eve to the end of permitted hours on New Year’s Day.

From the start of normal hours until 02:30 on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, St George’s Day, Good Friday and Sunday preceding a bank holiday.

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 week ending 7 September 2018 edition of the Romford Yellow Advertiser

2.               Details of Relevant Representations

There was one representation against this application submitted by the owner of the flats opposite the premises.

There was one representation against this application from a responsible authority.

The objection from Mr Stephenson objected under the prevention of crime and disorder and prevention of public nuisance licensing objectives.

The objection from Mr Campbell, representing the Council’s licensing team, objected under the licensing objectives of Prevention of Crime & Disorder, Public Safety, Prevention of Public Nuisance and the Protection of Children from Harm.

Those making representations were concerned that granting the licence would lead to increased noise and nuisance in the area, and to the risk of crime and disorder associated with late-night drinking. Mr Campbell in his written representations also expressed the view that the application did not adequately address cumulative impact and was unclear as to whether the premises were to be run as a restaurant or bar, or both.

The premises lay within a cumulative impact zone. The Council’s statement of licensing policy created a rebuttable presumption that applications for new premises licences would normally be refused, unless the applicant could demonstrate why the operation of the premises involved would not add to the cumulative impact and not impact adversely on the promotion of the licensing objectives.

The exception to this policy will be for applications for restaurants where alcohol is sold ancillary to a table meal and the terminal licensing hour is in line with the Policy.
