Decision: PREMISES Gidea Park Micropub 236 Main Road Romford RM2 5HA
DETAILS OF APPLICATION The application for a premises license was made under section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Act”)
APPLICANT Mr Trevor Howard Howard Micropubs Ltd., 70 Ilfracombe Crescent Hornchurch RM12 6RQ
1. Details of requested licensable activities
The application was to permit the following licensable activities:
2. Promotion of the Licensing Objectives
The application acted in accordance with regulation 25 and 26 of The Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises certificates) Regulation 2005 relating to the advertising of the application. The required public notice was installed in the 18 March 2016 edition of the Romford Recorder.
The application described the premises as:
A micropub, which is defined by the Micropub Association as being “a small free-house which listens to its customers, mainly serves cask ales, promotes conversation, shuns all forms of electronic entertainment and dabbles in traditional pub snacks”.
The application was broadly compliant with each of Havering’s individual licensing policies but licensing policy 6 states that:
The Licensing Authority considers that, in the interests of clarity and transparency, applicants should normally have in place the relevant planning consent for the intended use and hours of operation or otherwise have lawful planning status before making an application for a premises licence. Every application, however, will be considered on its merits on a case by case basis.
3. 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 no representations against the application from interested persons.
There was one representation against the application from a responsible authority namely Havering’s Planning Service. The basis of the objection was that planning permission was likely to be withheld on the grounds of Public Nuisance.
