3.         Details of written representations

 

Valid representations may only address the following licensing objectives:

 

The prevention of crime and disorder

The prevention of public nuisance

The protection of children from harm

Public safety

 

There were three valid representations received against the application from interested parties. These dealt mostly with public nuisance, referring to the noise caused by a premises selling alcohol right through the night in a mostly residential area. Potential crime and disorder were also referred to.

 

There were two representations received against the application from responsible authorities; Havering Licensing Authority and Havering Environmental Health.

 

Environmental Health representation stated an objection to any extension of hours for licensable activities beyond the current hours.

 

The representation against the application details concerns over the close proximity to nearby residential properties and being contrary to Licensing Policy 012.

 

Following the production of the agenda, the applicant’s agent and the two responsible authorities reached an agreement with the applicant following the withdrawal of the late night refreshment part of the application and the sale of alcohol would be in line with those offered after discussion, being 05:00 – 23:00 hours. Accordingly, both responsible authorities withdrew their representation.

 

4.         Representations

 

At the hearing on 3 October 2013, Mrs Sarah Cox made oral representation to the subcommittee.

 

She raised concern on the noise nuisance at the site that was affecting her family, and considered that there was no need for the applicant to serve alcohol at 5:00am.
