Representations
The Interim Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “A”) which outlined an application for the grant of a new Premises Licence for the provision of late night refreshment to take place indoors at Chai Wali. The receipt of representations from the Environmental Health Officer, a ward councillor and a resident in objection to the application was explained, as well as the receipt of two representations from ward councillors in support of the application.
The applicant, his business partner and agent attended the meeting and the agent made a detailed representation on his client’s behalf, referring to the way in which businesses had suffered as a result of the pandemic. He explained that this business had managed to trade throughout the pandemic and that previous problems with trading from a cabin had now been resolved and the business was based in a retail unit. Problems of noise had been resolved since the removal of the cabin and a noise report prepared for the applicant had shown that there was now no problem. He considered that all four licensing objectives had been met and that the business provided a valuable service to the locally based police and hospital staff. Since the removal of the cabin, the availability of car parking had increased, in contrast to other local 24 hour businesses which had no parking at all.
The Chair queried the reference to a planning application and was advised that it had been made to vary a condition of the extant planning permission which required closure of the business by 2300 and requested an extension to 0100. As a result of that response, the Chair queried why this application was for hours of operation until 0200. He was advised that the business owner intended to spend an hour cleaning the premises after closure and considered that a neighbour would complain if it was considered that the business was operating without permission.
A panel member asked how long it had been since the cabin’s removal and if the business was now fully based indoors. She was advised by the applicant’s business partner that the cabin had been removed six weeks ago and that the business was based fully indoors. The business partner also stated that the terminal hour of 0200 had been applied for so that the business could choose when to close and may operate until then on bank holidays, festivals such as Eid and when there was a football match on.
