Application to vary a premises licence.

Minutes:

RECEIVED the application made by Mr Musa Aktas for the premises known as and situated at Akdeniz Supermarket (Enfield) Ltd, 463-465 Hertford Road, Enfield, EN3 5UT to vary a Premises Licence.

 

NOTED

 

1.    The introductory statement of Ellie Green, Principal Licensing Officer, including the following points:

a.  This application was for a variation of the premises licence.

b.  The current licence dated from 14/2/2014 and permitted opening hours and sale of alcohol 08:00 to 23:00 daily.

c.  The application sought 24 hour daily opening and sale of alcohol 08:00 to 02:00 daily.

d.  The licence had not been subject to review.

e.  The application was subject to representation received from the Licensing Authority on the grounds of prevention of public nuisance.

f.  The premises was located in the Enfield Highway Cumulative Impact Policy Area. Therefore the Cumulative Impact Policy (CIP) applied to this application. The CIP core hours for sale of alcohol Monday to Sunday were 08:00 to 00:00.

g.  This application sought hours that were outside the core hours and was therefore subject to the presumption against grant that was implicit in a CIP (LB Enfield Licensing Policy s.9.22/23).

h.  The Licensing Authority considered it appropriate that any part of an application outside the CIP should be refused, with the part of application within the CIP to be granted.

i.  Where the CIP applied to an application, it was for the applicant to put forward information why the application should be an exception to the policy and be granted.

j.  No written information had been received from the applicant, but she had now had sight of a letter and table submitted on 8/1/16 by the licensing agent and circulated to all parties.

k.  The Council’s Licensing Policy was last reviewed in January 2015 with specific reference to CIPs and the core hours were extended from 23:00 to 00:00.

l.  It was raised by the Chair that the current licence permitted opening hours 08:00 to 23:00 daily while the licensing agent’s table showed 24 hour opening at the supermarket. The licensing agent advised that since the licence was granted on 14/2/14, the shop opening hours had been 24 hours a day.

 

2.    The statement of Charlotte Palmer, Licensing Enforcement Officer, including the following points:

a.  This application was to extend sale of alcohol from 23:00 to 02:00 daily.

b.  This area of Hertford Road was one of mixed commercial and residential use. The premises was on the corner of Hertford Road and East Road, which was a residential cul-de-sac. On the other side, the shop adjoined residential dwellings, and there were more residences opposite.

c.  There had been complaints received from a local resident on 26/10/15 and 28/10/15 in respect of noise from deliveries and waste collections in the early hours of the morning, in breach of licence conditions. The licence holder was informed and advised. On 18/11/15 the complainant confirmed that the issues had stopped and they were happy for the complaint to be closed.
