Decision:
Licensing Act 2003 Notice of Decision
PREMISES New Tasty Chicken 7 Station Chambers Victoria Road Romford RM1 2HS
APPLICANT PC Oisin Daly Metropolitan Police Licensing Dept Romford Police Station Main Road Romford RM1 3BJ
1. Grounds for Review
The Metropolitan Police submitted the application to review the premises licence for New Tasty Chicken, in accordance with the provisions of section 51 of the Act.
The grounds for the licence review were that:
· The premises had shown a disregard for its premises licence conditions · Police had no faith in the ability of the premises licence holder to manage the premises
The application to review the premises licence related to the prevention of crime and disorder licensing objective.
Upon submission of the application the licensing authority advertised the application appropriately further to the requirements of regulations 38 and 39 of The Licensing Act 2003 (premises licences and club premises certificates) Regulations 2005.
2. Details of Representations
There were no representations made against or in support of this application.
PC Belinda Goodwin, representing PC Oisin, advised that the premises was situated within the ring road and was therefore part of Havering’s special policy area.
PC Goodwin advised that the premises were situated in a crime and disorder hotspot and had also previously been reviewed for failing to provide police with adequate CCTV and the employment of illegal workers.
On 7 February 2017 the UK Border Agency had visited the premises and found a male employed at the premises who did not have the relevant entitlement to work in the UK.
Police had again visited the premises to view CCTV but there had been no persons on the premises that could operate the CCTV.
The police had subsequently requested CCTV footage, relevant paperwork for employees, doorstaff records and a copy of the contract for the town radio link from the applicant but to date had only received CCTV footage that had been unable to be used as the software was incompatible with anything the police used.
PC Goodwin advised that the police had concerns over the operation of the premises particularly as the second incident had taken place only eleven weeks after the first review of the premises.
3. Applicant’s response.
Mr Graham Hopkins, representing the applicant, commented that the applicant, Mr Amer Khan, had had to visit Pakistan to visit his sick mother in law at the beginning of February 2017 which had meant he had been absent from the premises for a period of time.
During his absence Mr Khan had asked a friend to look after the business for him but had instructed the friend not to dismiss or hire any members of staff.
Mr Hopkins confirmed that the applicant was sorry and remorseful for the events that had taken place at the premises in his absence.
Mr Hopkins also confirmed that the applicant had been successful in deterring gang members from loitering around the premises and that there had been no recent evidence of anti-social behaviour in the vicinity. ... view the full decision text for item 1. Minutes:
