ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION |

Application for a Variation Premises Licence for Suito, 90 Brick Lane, London E1 6RL PDF 105 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: At the request of the Chair, Ms Catrina Marshall, Licensing Officer, introduced the report, detailing the variation application for Suito, 90 Brick Lane, London E1 6RL. It was noted that objections had been received by the Licensing Authority, Environmental Health and local residents.
It was noted that there were some discrepancies in the report and confirmed that there had been no conditions agreed with the Police as stated in the report.
At the request of the Chair, Mr Mir Haque, representative on behalf of the applicant explained that they were applying for a variation application and seeking additional hours for the sale of alcohol and late night refreshments. He explained that complaints had been received previously due to the Temporary Event Notice applications they had had in the past.
It was noted that the reason for this application was due to customer demand and customers wanted them to remain open for longer.
He said that they have had problems with waste disposal and as a result incurred a number of fines but this had now been resolved after meeting with the waste enforcement team who had showed them how to dispose of waste/rubbish correctly. It was noted that since December 2017 there have been no fines issued. It was also noted that all staff had been trained now and were correctly disposing waste/rubbish.
Mr Haque concluded that there would be no noise issues as loud music would not be played at the premises and there would be no touting.
At the request of the Chair, Ms Corinne Holland, Licensing Officer raised concerns about the repeated number of complaints that had been received from local residents. It was noted that a complaint was received from a resident on 28/03/16 regarding noise at the premises until 4.30am when a TEN had been applied for.
Ms Holland stated that the Licensing Authority was making representation against this application on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance as the premises are within the CIZ and complaints were received when the licence has been extended by a TEN. She said that there was nothing to show that the increased hours applied for would not add to the cumulative impact already being experienced in the area. Ms Holland concluded that the applicant continually flouts the law despite receiving a large number of fixed penalty tickets and this was not how a responsible business would operate.
Members then heard from Nicola Cadzow, Environmental Health Officer, who explained that within the last twelve months to the date of this application there has been noise complaints when TENs had been granted until 01.30hours due to behaviour of people arriving, leaving, drinking and congregating outside the premises. She expressed that there would be noise breakout from the venue affecting neighbouring residents, noise from access and egress to and from the venue by patrons especially when in high spirits.
Members then heard from local residents, Mr David Donoghue and Mr David ... view the full minutes text for item 4.1 |
