Agenda and minutes

RESOLVED: That Councillor Michael Borio be appointed Chair of the Licensing Panel Hearing.

RESOLVED:  To note that there were no declarations of interest made by Members.

[Note:  Licensing Panel minutes are:-

(1)          approved following each meeting by the Members serving on that particular occasion and signed as a correct record by the Chair for that meeting;

(2)          not submitted to the next panel meeting for approval.

Reasons: The Licensing Panel is constituted from a pooled membership. Consequently, a subsequent Panel meeting is likely to comprise a different Chair and Members who took no part in the previous meeting’s proceedings. The process referred to at (1) above provides appropriate approval scrutiny].

Report of the Corporate Director Community

In attendance:

The Licensing Panel carefully considered all the relevant information including:

·                     written and oral representations by all parties;

·                     the Licensing Act 2003 and the steps that were appropriate to promote the licensing objectives;

·                     the Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003;

·                     Harrow Council’s Licensing Policy;

·                     Human Rights Act 1998.

Members of the Panel also took into consideration the following, full details of which were set out in the Decision Notice sent to all interested parties:

:

·                     the licence holder had agreed to the comprehensive suite of conditions proposed by the applicant and that the counsel for the premises licence holder had made suggestions to improve those conditions, including the retention of relevant conditions at annex 2 and annex 3 of the premises licence;

·                     hours that the premises were open to the public and hours at which licensable activities could take place and whether they needed to be reduced as proposed by the applicant;

·                     many of the incidents set out in the application had taken place at early hours in the morning and that they had often resulted in the Police being called to the premises;

·                     the premises were located in a mainly residential area;

·                     the financial viability of the premises was not a concern for the Panel under the licensing objectives;

·                     the credibility of those managing the premises due to the contradicting and inconsistent answers given to questions.
