Application for a New Premises Licence for Inito, Unit 6, 31 Bell Lane, London E1 7LA
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 Inito, Unit 6, 31 Bell Lane, London E1 7LA. It was noted that there had been objections from two local residents.
At the request of the Chair, Mr Jack Spiegler, Licensing Representative began by amending the application to include a 30 minute drinking up time to the hours applied for the sale of alcohol.
He explained that the premises was a modest sized restaurant specialising in Indian food and salads. He further explained that there would be a limited amount of alcohol available, which would only be sold ancillary to food. It was noted that the hours applied for were within the framework hours and that no Responsible Authorities had objected to the application.
He referred Members to the conditions proposed and stated that these directly addressed the concerns raised by the two objectors.
Mr Spiegler concluded that the premise was not a late night venue or drink led venue and was confident that it would not have a negative impact on the cumulative impact zone.
It was noted that the objectors were not present at the meeting, however a further condition had been proposed to alleviate the concern of one of the residents in relation to refuse.
Members briefly discussed amongst themselves and the Chair stated that;
The Licensing Objectives
