Presentation by the Licensing Officer

 

Ms Daliah Barrett, Licensing Team Leader informed the Sub-Committee that:

           

           

·      The Licensing team had sent the notification of the objection made by the Police to the Notice Giver informing them that if they wished to pursue the Temporary event, then the Licensing Authority should be notified. The request had been sent back yesterday.

·      The Temporary Event Notice (TEN) could be found in appendix 1 of the agenda papers and the event was proposed to start at 18:00 on 2 September 2022 until 4 September 2022 with a terminal hour of 03:00.

·      It was not possible for the Sub-Committee to exercise an option whereby the event could be held, but only with the existing conditions present on the licence as the premises did not have a licence.

·      Due to the scheduling, it was not possible for the Notice Giver to be able to appeal the decision as any appeal needed to be made to the magistrates court after five working days of the decision being given.

·      All temporary events must meet general licensing requirements such as health and safety regulations, fire regulations and the licensing objectives.

·      A temporary event notice had previously been submitted for events to be held on 26 August to 28 August 2022 and this had been objected to by the Police on the crime and disorder objective.

·      The premises was also subject to a premises licence application to be heard by a separate Sub-Committee.

 

 

In response to questions from Members, Ms Barrett informed the Sub-Committee that:

 

 

·      The Licensing Authority had received two applications for a premises licence from two different applicants. One had been withdrawn and the other had been submitted by Mr Stegariu who had completed two consultations and had submitted a copy of the sub-lease to show he could have use of premises. However, it was reported later that the freeholder had not signed any such documents.

 

 

Presentation by the Notice Giver

 

The Notice Giver, Mr Alexander Paphiti and his representative Mr Fabian Simms informed the Sub-Committee that:

 

·      They were starting a new business in South Tottenham and the area had many different communities.

·      They wanted to work with Licensing and Police to resolve any issues.

·      Work had been done to go above and beyond to adhere to the licensing objectives. However, the goalposts appeared to be moving and the company had recently been brought by Mr Stegariu, who had no association with Parkway Estates.

·      The premises did not have a licence and those involved with the premises would like a premises licence to be granted eventually said that progress could be made and a business model could be implemented.

·      The TEN had been given so that a soft opening could be made for the premises and as a test run.

·      The number of patrons that could occupy the premises ranged between 200 to 250 people.

·      The premises also had three fire exits. The third fire exit could be found in the kitchen and would be used for staff  ...  view the full minutes text for item 6.
