PREMISES

Borat Express

182 Hilldene Avenue

Romford

RM3 8DB

 

DETAILS OF APPLICATION

 

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

 

APPLICANT

Mr Piotr Wieczerzynski

182 Hilldene Avenue

Romford

RM3 8DB

 

  1. Details of requested licensable activities

 

The applicant seeks to supply alcohol for consumption off the premises between the following hours:

 

Supply of alcohol, hours open to the public

Day

Start

Finish

Monday to Saturday

09:00

19:00

Sunday

11:00

16:00

 

 

Seasonal variations / Non-standard timings

 

 

2.         Non Standard Timings

 

No seasonal variations or non-standard timings were requested.

 

3.         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 15 August 2014 edition of the Yellow Advertiser.

 

The blue notice was found to have been installed on a sheet of blue paper slightly smaller than A4 size but it was not considered that this caused any prejudice to interested persons or responsible authorities.

 

Havering’s licensing policy 012 indicates that the provision of licensable activity would normally be permitted until 00:30 in mixed use areas.  The premises plans indicated that the display of alcohol within the premises would be restricted to a single unit located behind the counter.

 

 

4.            Details of Representations

 

Valid representations may only address the four licensing objectives.

 

·                     The prevention of crime and disorder

·                     Public safety

·                     The prevention of public nuisance

·                     The protection of children from harm

 

There were two representations against this application, one from a responsible authority and the other from an interested person.

 

The interested person who made representation against this application did not attend the hearing.  The representation highlighted a number of issues relating to the application and display of notice. However, it was item 4 of the representation which might appear to suggest that the applicant’s failure to include staff training on the operating schedule would lead to a failure on the part of the applicant to promote the following three of the licensing objectives.

 

·                     The prevention of crime and disorder

·                     The prevention of public nuisance

·                     The protection of children from harm

 

 

Responsible Authorities

 

Chief Officer of Metropolitan Police (“the Police”):  The Police Licensing Officer PC Rose made representation against this application on behalf of the Metropolitan Police.  PC Rose’s concerns were based upon the licensing objectives in relation to the prevention of crime and disorder, the prevention of public nuisance and public safety.

 

The Havering Police Licensing Officer addressed the subcommittee and reiterated his written representation stating that having assessed this new application on its own merits, the Police were of the opinion that the application was sparse on details as to how the premises would uphold and promote the licensing objectives.

 

The Police raised concern on the applicant’s responses to how the premises would deal with issues relating to selling to underage persons,  ...  view the full decision text for item 2.
