1.         Details of existing licensable activities

2.         Grounds for Review

The Metropolitan Police had made a section 161 closure order against Hush on 28 July, 2013. On 30 July, 2013 the Metropolitan Police attended Redbridge Magistrates’ Court to apply for the court to consider the closure notice in accordance with its duty under section 165 of the Licensing Act 2003. The court considered the closure order and determined that the premises should be closed for a further day following the hearing. The premises were thus allowed to open from the 1 August, 2013.

Section 165(4) requires the court to notify the Licensing Authority of its determination; however, this notification was not supplied to Havering until 19 September, 2013.  It was upon the receipt of the court’s notification that this review process commenced.

The Licencing Officer visited the premises on the 26 September and noted a number of items which needed to be addressed. These were as follows:

• Annex 2 Condition 7A fully trained first aider will be present at all times wherever possible and Annex 3 PS23 At least one trained first-aider shall be on duty when the public are present. We discussed this matter and it would appear that you are relying on your SIA staff to be trained.  I would suggest that you should keep a note of the trained first aider in the premises daily register.

• Annex 2 Condition 8 The capacity must not exceed the limit set for the building. You did not appear to know for sure what the capacity is for the building.  Please establish what that capacity is and establish a way of monitoring it during your open hours.

• Annex 3 That staff will receive Drug awareness training from the Havering DAAT team.  As discussed last night I am attending a meeting with the Drug and alcohol Action Team (DAAT) in the next couple of weeks.  I will establish what is required for you to comply with this condition.

·         Annex 3 PNGPG1 The Licence Holder shall implement a written queue management policy. All queuing outside the premises shall be managed in such a way that prevents noisy or  ...  view the full decision text for item 2.
