Minutes:
At the request of the Chair, Mr Lekan Olomo, Environmental Health and Safety Officer introduced the report which detailed the application for a Special Treatment Licence for Health and Beauty Centre, 1 Gunthorpe Street, London E1 7RG.
Mr Olomo informed Members the application was made on the 26th February 2018 by Mr Gary Bugby Appendix 1 – pages 35- 42 of the agenda. However as this was incomplete another application was submitted and the revised application can be found at Appendix 2 – pages 43-66 of the agenda pack.
A licence from the Council is required for the use of the premises as an establishment for special treatments and pages 69-72 Appendix 3 sets out the standard conditions that the Committee has in granting or refusing a licence –and Appendix 4 – pages 73-96 sets out the regulations for annual special treatment licences under section 10(1) of the London Local Authorities Act 1991.
All responsible authorities have been consulted and no objections have been received save from residents within the vicinity. The objections can be found at Appendices 5 to 9 – pages 99 to 127.
Mr Gary Bugby (the applicant) was present for the Committee meeting and was given the opportunity to present his case. He stated the application was made to operate the premises as a Massage and Beauty Centre and the objections related to the previous owners of the premises. He said his wife would be overseeing the business who was a qualified beauty therapist and the application should be considered on its merits. Mr Bugby apologised for the initial incomplete application however said that he lodged completed and signed documents when asked by the Health and Safety Officer.
Members of the Committee asked the following questions:
· Are all the documentation and qualification up to date?
· What is your view in relation to the objections raised? How will you address the concerns of residents?
· When did you take over the premises?
· Will you be playing music?
· It is clear the premises were improperly conducted in the past. Is there any connection between the current and previous owners?
· Did you know the previous leaseholder?
· How many therapists will be employed?
· Has a risk assessment been conducted of the premises?
· What are the proposed opening times for the premises?
· This premise’s is very close to a primary school. Is the area residential?
· What is the size of the premises?
· Is this the first time that you’ll be running a business?
· Page 32 states there is no waste contract in place. Have you made enquiries about the disposal of waste?
· Do you have indemnity insurance in place?
· Can you assure the committee the premises will only be used to provide massage only and will not be used inappropriately?
· The application states that treatment will be given to both sexes. Will you be employing both male and female therapists?
· Is a Level 3 NVQ the right level of qualification for a beauty therapist?
Following questioning from the Members, the Chair asked the applicant if he had any concluding remarks to make before the committee adjourned to make its decision. Mr Bugby stated he had nothing further to add to his application for a Special Treatment licence.
