Mr & Mrs Scutcher, the objectors attended the hearing. They addressed the sub committee stating that they lived next door to the premises. Their major concerns related to the operating hours applied for.

Mr Scutcher stated that the sale of alcohol from this premises will cause additional noise and attract people to congregate outside the premises. That the issue was of particular concern as they had young children who are disturbed by people coming and going outside the house at bedtime as the premises had a cash machine and people stopped to use the facility in the evenings. They were of the opinion that with the application to open the premises till late and selling alcohol, anti social behaviour which was a problem in the country will arise in the area.

Mr Scutcher also stated that with the sale of alcohol from the premises, this will lead to litter being dropped in the area as there were no litter bins in the road. That they were also aware that Havering had a significantly high level of alcohol related crimes.  They also were of the view that having another off licence within an area already saturated with off licences would not have a beneficial effect on the community.

 

In response to a question, Mr Scutcher informed the sub committee that previously this premises operated Monday to  ...  view the full decision text for item 1.
