The TEN application was submitted by Mr Mehmet Ergun Keles under section 100 of the Licensing Act 2003.  The TEN was received by Havering’s Licensing Authority on 14 May 2015.

The TEN was originally submitted on the behalf of Mr Keles by his agent with an intention to permit the provision of licensable activity from 2 – 8 June 2015.  This original submission was made void, however, as it was contrary to s.101(1)(a) of the Act which requires a minimum of 24 hours between TENs.  A previously submitted TEN, or TEN ‘A’, was to end on 1 June 2015.  This second TEN, or TEN ‘B’, was subsequently amended to reflect the current dates, i.e. 3 – 9 June 2015.

TEN A was a late TEN and, apart from the dates, was identical in content to the standard TEN, TEN B.  Both the Police and Havering’s Noise Team submitted objection notices against TEN A.  As a result, a counter notice was issued by Havering’s licensing authority. TEN A is therefore not authorised and may not occur.

Further to the submission of this TEN, TEN B, discussions between Mr Keles’ agent and the Police resulted in the receipt of a further amendment to the TEN in accordance with s.106 of the Act.  This modification reduced the TEN’s terminal hours from 01:00 to 00:30 and reduced the maximum capacity from 250 attendees to 180.  These modifications addressed Police concerns.
