Additional documents: Minutes: At the request of the Chair, Ms Corinne Holland, Licensing Officer, introduced the report which detailed the application for a variation of the premises licence for Genesis Vegan Restaurant, 144-146 Commercial Street, London E1 6NU. The application was to amend conditions on the existing licence. It was noted that objections had been received on behalf of the Licensing Authority and Environmental Protection (Noise).
At the request of the Chair, Mr Tom O’Maoileion, Legal Representative on behalf of the Applicant explained that the application was for the proposal to allow drinking outside the premises. He explained that they had been granted planning permission/permissions from Street Trading for a licence for tables and chairs outside the premises until 10pm. Mr O’Maoileion therefore amended the application to 10pm – and said that sales of alcohol would be until 9.30pm and there would be a 30 minute drinking up time and tables and chairs would be cleared and rendered unusable by 10pm.
He explained the nature of the restaurant, and said that the tables and chairs would be stacked up and brought back into the premises when they were closing. It was noted that they had received permission for four tables and eight chairs. It was also noted that the sale of alcohol to the outdoor area would only be sold and served by waiter/waitress, and only served ancillary to a meal and part of a table service.
Mr O’Maoileion explained that they were not seeking to increase hours or capacity, but to have the flexibility to serve alcohol to customers sitting outside having a meal. He stated that the Cumulative Impact Zone (CIZ) policy was mainly for alcohol led venues, vertical drinking establishments and late night venues and these premises were none of the above. He referred to paragraphs 18.10 and 18.11 of the Tower Hamlets Licensing Policy, where it states that within the policy, that the Council may be able to approve licences that are unlikely to add significantly to the saturation and will consider the circumstances of each individual application. He asked Members to consider this as he believed that the variation would not add significantly to the cumulative impact in the area.
Members then heard from Ms Nicola Cadzow, Environmental Health Officer, she explained that her representation was on the basis of the prevention of public nuisance. She explained that it was difficult to say how much impact the premises would have on the area, but was very likely to cause noise disturbance to nearby residents by allowing people sitting and drinking outside the premises until 10pm. Ms Cadzow was of the view that the application for drinking outside until 10pm was far too late and likely to cause disturbance to residents living nearby.
Members also heard from Ms Lavine Miller-Johnson, Licensing Officer, she explained that the hours applied for were excessive. She referred to her representation on page 163-164 of the agenda and was of the view that the applicant had not fully demonstrated how this application would ... view the full minutes text for item 4.2 |
