4.            Comments and observations on the application

 

The applicant 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 was installed in the 1 August 2014 edition of the Romford Recorder.

 

The Licencing Officer in his report raised concerns regarding the plan which had been submitted with the application. The plan showed a bold red line around the perimeter of the premises. This red line delineated the ambit of licensing activities. This meant that the non-public areas i.e. the kitchen and store room could be used for the supply of alcohol.

 

In his presentation the solicitor acting for the applicant advised that the plan was in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 23 of the Premises Licences Regulations which stated that the plan should show:

 

·         The extent of the boundary of the building and any external and interior walls of a building and if different the perimeter of the premises.

·         In the case where the premises are used for more than one existing licensable activity, the area within the premises used for each such activity.

 

He maintained that the plan met all these requirements. In consultation with his client he advised that no more than 30% (approximately) of the selling space would be used to display alcohol.

 

5.            Summary
