Application for a Variation of a Premises Licence for Super Kebab, 240 Cambridge Heath Road, London, E2 9DA
Minutes:
At the request of the Chair, Ms Kathy Driver, Licensing Officer, introduced the report, which detailed the application for a variation for Super Kebab, 240 Cambridge Heath Road, London E2 9DA. It was noted that an objection had been received from a local resident.
At the request of the Chair, Mr Duncan Craig, Legal Representative on behalf of the applicant explained that the application was to vary their hours on the existing licence for late night refreshments only and confirmed that there was no provision for the sale of alcohol.
Mr Craig stated that they had tried to mediate with the local resident objector but have had no response. It was noted that in order to help address her concerns they had the extractor fan system installed inside the premises which would cause no disturbance to neighbours and help reduce any noise or odour emanating from the premises. Mr Craig also offered a condition to address the concerns raised in relation to refuse outside the premises.
In the absence of the objector, Members noted and considered the written objection. There were no questions from Members.
Members adjourned the meeting at 3.05pm for deliberations and reconvened at 3.10pm.
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:
- The Prevention of Crime and Disorder;
- Public Safety;
- Prevention of Public Nuisance; and
- The Protection of Children from Harm
Consideration
Each application must be considered on its own merits and the Chair stated that the Sub Committee in the absence of the objector had carefully considered the written objections in the agenda and listened to the representations made on behalf of the Applicant by his Representative.
Members noted the fact that the premises currently had a premises licence and the application was to vary the hours for late night refreshments only however Members reflected on their local knowledge of the area and its vicinity and felt that such long hours was unacceptable due to the existing issues of anti-social behaviour in the area.
However Members noted the Applicants efforts to mediate with the local resident objector and the conditions offered to help address the concerns of the extractor fan and issues of refuse and litter. Therefore Members decided to grant the application in part by granting slightly reduced hours than what had been applied for.
Members reached a decision and the decision was unanimous. Members granted the application subject to a condition to help prevent public nuisance.
Decision
Accordingly, the Sub-Committee unanimously –
RESOLVED
