THE LORD NELSON, 232 HIGH ROAD, N22 To consider an application for a new premises licence. Additional documents: Minutes: Daliah Barrett, Licensing Officer, introduced the application for a new premises licence at The Lord Nelson, 232 High Road, N22. The application was for a 24 hour licence. The premises currently held a licence, with opening hours of: Monday – Wednesday 1100 to 0100 Thursday to Sunday 1100 to 0300 Sunday 1100 to 0200 with licensable activities ceasing one hour before closing time.
Representations had been received from Enforcement Response, the Licensing Authority, Metropolitan Police, Public Health and Councillor Mitchell as ward councillor.
The Licence had been transferred to the Applicant on 2 June 2017.
PC Mark Greaves, Metropolitan Police outlined his representation against the application which was set out at pages 55-57 of the agenda pack. He outlined eight incidents which had been reported to the Police between October 2016 and July 2017. Three of the incidents had occurred after the Applicant had taken over the premises – 7 June, 2 July and 24 July – one of which resulted in the arrest of a male for a Public Order offence and Drink Driving.
PC Greaves outlined his concern that the premises did not have a fixed number of SIA door supervisors, and suggested that it would be appropriate for the premises to have 3 SIA door supervisors at the premises from 2100hrs if the licence was granted as requested, or 2 SIA door supervisors if the hours were reduced. It was felt that as the later opening hours would lead to an increase in alcohol consumption, and increase the risk of crime and disorder. PC Greaves also added that it was likely that if the premises had 24 hour opening then it would encourage drinkers from other licensed premises nearby to make their way to the Lord Nelson to continue late night drinking.
Monica Ukandu, Public Health, outlined her representation against the application which was set out at pages 59-62 of the agenda pack. She provided some background of the local area and informed the Committee that in 2015, Woodside ward was ranked 1st out of the 19 wards for sexual assault incidents, 1st for probation clients with alcohol misuse risk, and 3rd for alcohol illness treated by London Ambulance service for 18+. There were 208 alcohol related injuries within 500m of the premises in 2015. Public Health considered that there were sufficient licensed premises in the area to meet the demand for alcohol, and whilst it was accepted that the applicant had provided a number of conditions in the operating schedule to uphold the licensing objectives, it was felt that there would be significant disturbance to local residents from patrons leaving the premises at all times of the morning. The recommendation from Public Health was to not grant the application, however, in the event that it was granted, a number of conditions had been requested for inclusion on the licence.
Charles Buckle, Enforcement Response, outlined the representation against the application. Enforcement Response did not support the application and had recommended that the premises ... view the full minutes text for item 54. |

Representations had been received from the Metropolitan Police, Licensing Authority, Enforcement Response, Public Health, Ward Councillor and Local Residents.
PC Mark Greaves outlined his representation against the application. There had been two crimes reported at the venue since April 2017 – 24 April 2017 at 2045hrs where 2 intoxicated males had been ejected from the premises, and one was subsequently arrested for GBH; and 15 July 2017 at 2355hrs where a male had been ejected from the premises due to behaviour towards female staff, and upon hearing breaking glass outside of the premises, the assistant manager locked the doors of the pub. The male was assaulted outside of the premises and left with a cut to his head. PC Greaves considered that suitable opening hours for the premises would be Sunday to Wednesday 0900 – 0100hrs, with all licensable activity ceasing at 0030hrs, and Thursday to Saturday 0900 – 0200hrs, with all licensable activity ceasing at 0130hrs. A number of CCTV conditions were put forward, along with a request for 2 SIA Officers at the premises, although this could be reduced to 1 SIA Officer Sunday to Wednesday from 2100hrs if the Police hours were implemented.
Monica Ukandu, Public Health, outlined the representation against the application. Philip Lane was a hugely residential area, and was included in an alcohol control zone. There were concerns that later opening hours would increase noise nuisance and antisocial behaviour already experienced in the area.
Charles Buckle, Enforcement Response, outlined the representation against the application. A ... view the full minutes text for item 55. |
