RM1 4YD

1.     Details of requested licensable activities

The current premises licence, which was still in force, related to nos. 8 -10 Moray Way. It appeared that the owner of the premises had moved on and the Co-op had acquired the premises and the adjoining premises no. 12 Moray Way.

3.     Details of Representations

Valid representations may only address the four licensing objectives.

·           The prevention of crime and disorder

·           Public safety

·           The prevention of public nuisance

·           The protection of children from harm

There were two representations against the application from local residents.

There were no representations against the application from responsible authorities. 

4.     Representations from local residents

The first representation was from a local resident who lives in a flat above this parade of shops. His representation referred to the problems caused by the sale of alcohol by local shops which had led to:

a.    Drug dealing;

b.    Defecating and urinating to the side and rear of the property; and

c.    Problems with gangs of youths who could be quite intimidating to elder residents.

Concern was also expressed regarding the possible effects on children attending the nearby nursery.

The second representation had come from a resident in Havering Road, who lives approximately 50 yards from the premises and considers that her family life would be affected by the sale of alcohol from 06:00 to 23:00hrs. It was believed that this would be an attraction for teenagers encouraging them to congregate at the rear of their property generating noise and rubbish.

It was claimed that 8 -12 Moray Way was on the main route for school children who could be confronted by early morning and afternoon drinkers. The person making the representation also referred to the existing problems with spirit and beer bottles being deposited in or around their property, (front and back gardens). Reference was also made to the potential for noise from deliveries from the service road which was adjacent to their rear garden.

5.     Applicant’s case

Mr Richard Arnot solicitor for the applicants responded to the representations and presented the case as to why the application should be granted.

The Co-op was the 5^th largest retailer  ...  view the full decision text for item 1.
