To consider an application for a new premises licence

YAYLA RESTAURANT, 429 Green Lanes, N4 (Harringay ward) (Agenda Item 7)

              The applicant, Mr Kacmaz, had submitted an application for a new premises licence for a restaurant to operate at 429 Green Lanes. The application requested that the restaurant be permitted to open for business until 2 am every night.

              The Licensing Officer, Ms Barrett, informed the Committee that no comments had been received from the Food team, the Health and Safety team, Trading Standards, the Safer Communities service, the Fire Officer and the Child Protection Agency regarding this application. The Planning Service stated that, currently, the premises only had planning permission to operate until midnight on Sunday to Thursday nights. They were permitted to open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. The Enforcement Service had stated that, if a licence was granted, it was requested that a Designated Premises Supervisor be named on the licence in light of previous complaints about noise from that address.

              Cllr Gina Adamou and a representative from the Ladder Community Safety Partnership, Mr Sygrave, addressed the meeting as objectors. They expressed concerns about noise and about disruption to local residents caused by late night opening. Mr Sygrave mentioned that 4 applications had been made by the restaurant for planning permission. Three had been rejected. Only the most recent of those had been granted, in March 2005.

              The applicant’s representative informed the Committee that sound proofing had been installed in the ceiling and ground floor of the building to address the concerns expressed by the objectors.

              In light of the Planning Service’s comments that planning permission only existed for trading until midnight on weeknights, Mr Kacmaz withdrew his request to trade from midnight to 2am on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
