Responsible Authorities

Metropolitan Police: The Metropolitan Police have objected as they believe that in granting the variation at least two of the licensing objectives, namely:

·         The prevention of Public Nuisance; and

·         The Prevention of Crime & Disorder,

would be undermined.

The premises in question is situated in a mixed use area, primarily enclosed by residential premises. The venue is surrounded on all sides with private premises of a residential nature. Police have been made aware of complaints made to the local authority via residents regarding a number of issues to noise generated from diners and service on the outside terrace. Some have complained about food smells emitting from the area into their residential premises.

Upon inspection of the application, no measures or steps are listed to inform police, local authority and other responsible agencies how they plan to uphold the “Public Nuisance” strand of the licensing act, the applicant merely states “ALL WASTE GENERATED BY THE PREMISES WILL BE DEALT WITH APPROPRIATELY”. The application does not address the logistics of outside alcohol sales, nor does it address any other potential crime related issues, such as -

·            Is alcohol to be stored in the marquee / tented area? if so what measures are being put in place to keep such stock safe.

·           What steps is the applicant putting in place relating to glassware outside the premises? How do they plan to prevent injury and potential instant arming outside the venue if glassware is served?

·           What further steps is the applicant putting in place  ...  view the full decision text for item 2.
