Licensing Act 2003 Notice of Decision
PREMISES The Alderman, Chippenham Road, Romford, RM3 8HX
DETAILS OF APPLICATION
Application for an expedited premises licence review by the Metropolitan Police under section 53A of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Act”).
APPLICANT PC Jason Rose, on behalf of the Chief Officer of Police Metropolitan Police Service, 19 Main Road, Romford, Essex. RM1 3BJ
1. Details of existing licensable activities
2. Grounds for an Expedited Premises Review
The application for an Expedited Premises Licence review had been served under section 53A of the Licensing Act 2003 under the grounds that a senior member of the police force had provided a certificate stating an opinion that the premises are associated with serious crime and disorder. The application stated that a serious incident had occurred at the premises on Monday, 31 March, 2014.
3. Requirements upon the Licensing Authority
Under the provisions of section 53A(2)(a) of the Licencing Act 2003, within 48 hours of the receipt of the application, the Licensing Authority must give the premises licence holder and responsible authorities a copy of the application for review and a copy of the certificate, and also consider whether it is necessary to take interim steps. On 4 April 2014 the Licensing Sub-Committee considered the Metropolitan Police’s application. Section 53B(3) requires that the licensing authority must consider whether to take the following interim steps: a) The modification of the conditions of the premises licence; b) The exclusion of the sale of alcohol by retail from the scope of the licence; c) The removal of the designated premises supervisor from the licence; and d) The suspension of the licence.
The Sub-Committee made the following decision on the application for an expedited review:
Under Section 53A of the Licencing Act 2003 a senior police officer can make an application where he is of the opinion that the premises are associated with serious crime or serious disorder or both. This has clearly been done in this case.
We could not disagree that the incidents described were very serious.
The police evidence was accepted by the premises licence holder. This was that management of the premises over at least the last year had been almost non-existent.
Given the serious nature of the incidents and the strong potential for further incidents of violence as set out by the police, we accept the police request and suspend the Licence with immediate effect and until a full review can take place.
Section 53(2)(b) requires the licensing authority, within 28 days of the receipt of the application for summary review, hold a hearing to consider the application for the review and any relevant representations, and take such of the following steps as it considers appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives:
