Variation applied for:

The premises were already open for 24 hours a day and the application was seeking to bring the alcohol sales in line with their current operation times. Additionally the application was seeking a minor alteration to the internal layout, although a notation on the plan indicated that the entire premises might be used for the sale of alcohol and the provision of late night refreshment.

The applicant had 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 had been installed in the Romford Recorder on the 4 March 2016.

The premises were situated within an area which had been designated a Cumulative Impact Zone in Havering’s Statement of Licensing Policy 3 which had come into force on the 7 January 2016.

‘Licensing Policy 3

The Licensing Authority has adopted a special policy relating to cumulative impact in relation to Harold Hill.

This policy creates a rebuttable presumption that applications for new premises licences, club premises certificates, or variation applications specifically for off sales only that are likely to add to the existing cumulative impact will be refused, unless the applicant can demonstrate why the operation of the premises involved will not add to the cumulative impact and not impact adversely on the promotion of the licensing objectives.’
