Minutes:

Daliah Barrett, Licensing Officer, outlined the application for a new Premises Licence at Matizz Bar and Lounge, 83 Mayes Road, N22 6TN.  The application sought:

 

Opening hours

Sunday to Wednesday                   0700 to 0200

Thursday to Saturday                      0700 to 0400

 

Regulated Entertainment: Live Music, Recorded Music

Sunday to Wednesday                   1900 to 0100

Thursday to Saturday                      1900 to 0300

 

Late Night Refreshment

Sunday to Wednesday                   2300 to 0100

Thursday to Saturday                      2300 to 0300

 

Supply of Alcohol

Sunday to Wednesday                   1000 to 0100

Thursday to Saturday                      1000 to 0300

 

For consumption ON the premises.

 

Ms Barrett referred to the conditions offered by the Applicant at pages 21 and 22 of the report:

 

“Suitable beverages other than alcohol (including drinking water) shall be equally available for consumption with or otherwise as ancillary to table meals” – this was mandatory and therefore would be included on the licence.

 

“Should the premises remain open for non-licensable activities customer shall not have access to alcohol after the licensed hours.  This shall be prevented by the use of shutter / locked fridges” – this had been queried with the Applicant, as the premises should not be open outside the hours permitted.

 

“There shall be only recorded background music in the premises” – this conflicted with the application for live and recorded music.

 

“The external area at the front of the premises shall be designated for the use of smokers from 8:00 hours until closing time on 23:00.  There shall be no more than 1 persons using this designated area during these times.  The designated area shall be adequately supervised to control the number and behaviour of patrons so as not to cause noise nuisance.  Notices shall be displayed in the area specifying the terms of its use and asking patrons to respect the needs of local residents and to use the area quietly.  No alcoholic drinks or glass containers shall be taken into the designated smoking area during these times” – there was a rear area of the premises, but there had been no mention of this in the application, and no conditions put forward.

 

“No one under the age of 18 years shall be permitted to enter the premises and served with alcohol unless accompanied by an adult” – no one under the age of 18 should be sold alcohol, with the exception of those over the age of 16 and ancillary to a meal.

 

Representations had been received from Enforcement Response, Metropolitan Police and local residents.

 

The premises had been subject to a review in December 2016, and the Committee had decided to reduce the opening hours and the hours for licensable activities.  The Applicant was proposing to operate to later hours than the current licence permitted.

 

George Roberts, Enforcement Response Officer, provided the representation on behalf of the Enforcement Response team.  There had been 62 noise complaints against the premises since 2009, and had been sent a number of letters from the noise team and licensing.  Mr Roberts requested that the premises closed no  ...  view the full minutes text for item 33.
