Licensing Act 2003: Application for a variation of a premises licence for Efes, 1 Whitechapel Road, E1 6TY
Minutes:
Members listened to an application made by PC Mark Perry, Metropolitan Police who advised Members that a good compromise had been reached amongst all parties. It was noted that the cumulative impact zone was there to protect the community however each application must be considered on its own merit. In this case there was no crime and disorder associated with the premises and therefore no negative impact would be caused. It was also noted that there had been no complaints or enforcement actions against the premises and the new hours proposed did fall in line with other establishments in the local area. Therefore the agreed hours and conditions were noted and agreed by Members.
The Licensing Objectives
In considering the application, Members were required to consider the same in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003 (as amended), the Licensing Objectives, the Home Office Guidance and the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy and in particular to have regard to the promotion of the four licencing objectives:
