Agenda item
Application for a New Premises Licence for Peloton and Co, 4 Market Street, London, E1 6DT
Minutes:
At the request of the Chair, Mr Alex Lisowski, Licensing Officer, introduced the report which detailed the application for a new premises licence for Peloton & Co, 4 Market Street, London E1 6DT. It was noted that an objection had been made by the Metropolitan Police.
At the request of the Chair, Mr Paul Jenkins, Applicant, briefly explained that the premise was a bicycle shop/café which had been open for a year and if the application was granted it would mean that customers could have a beer whilst watching a cycle race etc. he further explained that the sale of alcohol would be a small part of his existing trade as it would only be available to existing customers and would not be advertised.
Mr Jenkins stated that this would not add to the existing problems in the areas and would consciously work with the police in promoting the licensing objectives. He concluded that no spirits would be served, it would only be beer and there would be a waiter and table service.
Members then heard from PC Alan Cruickshank, Metropolitan Police, who referred to his statement contained in the agenda on pages 126 to 127 and explained that the representation was based on the saturation policy and not the company itself, and argued that the introduction of a licensed premises would mean more people in the Cumulative Impact Zone.
In response to a question it was noted that the premises had a capacity of 30/40 people.
Members retired to consider their decision at 6.00pm and reconvened at 6.05pm.
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 Licensing Guidance and the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy.
Consideration
Each application must be considered on its own merits and after careful consideration the Chair stated that the Sub Committee had decided to grant the application. Members’ had carefully listened to Applicant and the objection made on behalf of the Metropolitan Police.
The Chair stated that the Cumulative Impact Zone should not be taken as an excuse to make a representation for every application by responsible authorities. The policy does make it clear that regard should be had to the operating schedule. Responsible authorities have the advantage of seeing this schedule. Members would therefore expect representations against to set out what is wrong with the operating schedule. An objection solely on the basis that it is within the cumulative impact zone was unhelpful.
Members’ believed that CCTV conditions would help address the concerns raised by the objectors and that Members were satisfied that the operation of the premises will not add to the cumulative impact being experienced.

Accordingly, the Sub-Committee unanimously –
