Representations 2-A Responsible Authorities Responsible Environmental Health Service Authority: Representative: Dave Nevitt Received: 16 April 2020 I refer to the application for a new Premises Licence for the above premises. The premises are situated in the West End Cumulative Impact Area as stated in City of Westminster’s Statement of Licensing Policy. This representation is based on the Operating Schedule and the submitted plans for the following floors: • Basement (drawing number 1024_SH_LIC_B1 rev B and dated 03/02/20) • Ground (drawing number 1024_SH_LIC_00 rev B and dated 03/02/20) • First (drawing number 1024_SH_LIC_01 and dated 13/02/20) • Second (drawing number 1024_SH_LIC_02 rev A and dated 03/02/20) • Third (drawing number 1024_SH_LIC_03 rev B and dated 03/02/20) The applicant is seeking the following on the basement, ground, second and third floors: 1. To allow the Supply of Alcohol ‘on’ the premises Monday to Saturday 07:00-01:00 hours and Sunday 08:00-00:00 hours. 2. To allow Late Night Refreshment ‘indoors’ Monday to Saturday 23:00-01:00 hours and Sunday 23:00-00:00 hours. 3. To allow the provision of the following regulated entertainment ‘indoors’: Films, Live Music, Recorded Music and Performance of Dance, Monday to Saturday 07:00-01:00 hours and Sunday 08:00-00:00 hours. 4. To allow the above provisions from the end of New Year’s Eve to the start of New Year’s Day. I wish to make the following representation in relation to the above application: 1. The provision of the Supply of Alcohol may cause an increase in Public Nuisance in the cumulative impact area, it may also impact on Public Safety. 2. The provision of Late Night Refreshment may cause an increase in Public Nuisance in the cumulative impact area. 3. The provision of Regulated Entertainment may cause an increase in Public Nuisance in cumulative impact area, it may also impact on Public Safety. 4. The non-standard timings may cause an increase in Public Nuisance in the cumulative impact area. The applicant has proposed conditions within the Operating Schedule which are being considered. Further conditions may be proposed by Environmental Health in order to help prevent Public Nuisance and protect Public Safety. The granting of the new Premises Licence as presented would have the likely effect of causing an increase in Public Nuisance in the cumulative impact area and may impact on Public Safety. Responsible Licensing Authority Authority: Representative: Angela Seaward Received: 17 April 2020 I write in relation to the application submitted for a new premises licence for Royalty House, 72-74 Dean Street, London, W1D 3SG. As a responsible authority under section 13 (4) of the Licensing Act 2003 as amended under the Police and Social Responsibility Act 2011, the Licensing Authority has considered your application in full. The Licensing Authority has concerns in relation to this application and how the premises would promote the four Licensing Objectives: • Public Nuisance • Prevention of Crime & Disorder • Public Safety • Protection of Children from harm The application seeks the following Licensable Activities: Films, Live and Monday to Saturday – 07:00 till 01:00 Recorded Music, Sunday – 08:00 – 00:00 Performance of dance Late Night Refreshments Monday to Saturday – 23:00 till 01:00 Sunday – 23:00 till 00:00 Sale by retail of Alcohol Monday to Saturday – 07:00 – 01:00 Sunday – 08:00 – 00:00 Opening Hours Monday to Sunday – 00:00 – 00:00 The premises is located within the West End Cumulative Impact Area and as such various policy points must be considered, namely CIP1, HRS1, PB2 and MD2. At present, the hours applied for licensable activities currently fall outside of Westminster’s core hours. For premises for the supply of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises, Westminster’s core hours are as follows: Monday to Thursday: 10:00 – 23:30 Friday and Saturday: 10:00 – 00:00 Sunday: 12:00 - 22:30 For premises for the provision of other activities, Westminster Core hours are as follows; Monday to Thursday: 09:00 - 23.30 Friday and Saturday: 09:00 - midnight Sundays: 09:00 - 22:30 The Licensing Authority would encourage the applicant to consider reducing the hours for licensable activities to be in line with those of Westminster’s Core Hours Policy, HRS1. Applications for hours outside the core hours set above will be considered on their merits, subject to other relevant policies with particular regard to the policy points raised under HRS1. The premises intends to operate as a work/office space with ancillary events and currently falls within Westminster’s PB2 Policy. In paragraph 2.5.23 the licensing authority considers that the grant of new licences for pubs and bars in the Cumulative Impact Areas should be limited to exceptional circumstances. The provision of a bar within workplace solely for the use of those working there, and their invited guests, will generally be regarded as an exception to the policy not to grant new bars in Cumulative Impact Areas. Regard will be had to other policies in this Statement and the hours of operation of the workplace, the hours and extent of the use of the bar and the effect on the cumulative impact in the Cumulative Impact Areas.
