Decision:
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 merit. The Sub Committee has carefully considered all of the evidence before them and considered written and verbal representations from the applicant and objectors with particular regard to the licensing objectives of prevention of public nuisance and the prevention of crime and disorder.
Members heard from Ms Clare Eames (Solicitor for the applicants) who stated her clients were seeking a premises licence for a high end, exclusive supper club catered by professional chef Nuno Mendes. She stated it was a joint venture between Hostem Limited and Mr Mendes and would provide a gastronomic experience for a discerning cliental. The proposed operation would be for no more than 16 clients at any one time who will pre-book and be greeted at the entrance by a maître d’. The sale of alcohol would be ancillary to them taking a table meal.
Ms Eames advised the Sub-Committee that the applicant already operates within the borough. Hostem Limited is a family run company. Mr Brown, who is an owner of the company, has known Mr Mendes for 10 years.
Hostem Limited currently a high end cloths retailer. Customers pre-book a shopping experience with them. Hostem are hoping that customers of that business will also use the supper club. The cost of attending a supper club evening is £125 per head. The cost of the alcohol wine pairing to each course will cost £75 per head. The aim is for the supper club to achieve a michalin star.
The supper club experience will last for approximately 3 hours and will be a unique experience. The experience is intended to be put out to a wider audience in approximately 6 months. The reason the applicant has not called the business a restaurant is because they feel that it is more unique. The applicant are the freeholders of the building and they rely on the local residence. Currently the premises is a building site and the applicant has invested hugely in the building.
The balcony will be used for smokers only and the cliental will not be permitted to take drinks out onto the balcony.
The applicant is aware of the local issues within the area relating to anti-social behaviour, noise and littering and has the same concerns as others in the area.
Ms Eames said her clients were mindful the premises location fell within the local authorities Cumalative Impact Zone (CIZ) however she hoped the sub-committee would grant the license on the basis her clients could rebut the CIZ presumption. She said her clients had engaged with ... view the full decision text for item 4
