At the request of the Chair, Mr Jack Speigler, Legal Representative gave a brief summary of the application and the nature of the business. It was noted that the premises was one of six roman bakeries selling sandwiches, salads drinks, etc. he explained that the hours applied for were modest with no regulated entertainment, hours within the Council’s framework hours and have put forward proposed conditions to safeguard any licensing issues. It was noted that the sale of alcohol would be ancillary to food and that the CCTV condition proposed by the Police was also accepted.
Mr Speigler explained that the premises would not have a negative impact on the saturation policy and cumulative impact zone as it was not a late night premises, not a bar and there would be no vertical drinking. He believed that the operating schedule addressed all the concerns raised and was confident that the operation of the premises would not add to the negative cumulative impact in the area.
Members then heard from PC Alan Cruickshank, Metropolitan Police, who stated that objections were made to all applications within the cumulative impact zone unless the applicant could demonstrate that there will be no negative cumulative impact on one or more of the licensing objectives.
