RECEIVED the application for a new premises licence at the premises known as Toto Lounge & Bar Ltd, situated at 74 Aldermans Hill, London, N13 4PP.

 

NOTED

 

1.    The introduction by Ellie Green, Principal Licensing Officer, including:

 

a.    The premises had held a premises licence previously, for a convenience store, although this licence is currently suspended due to non-payment of annual fees. The licence holder of that licence is completely different to the applicant for this new application, which is Toto Lounge & Bar Ltd. The only director of this company is Mr Alfons Prifti, who is also the proposed Designated Premises Supervisor with this application.

b.    The new application is for a Restaurant Café and Coffee Shop seeking supply of alcohol on supply and late-night refreshment until midnight latest. The full timings and activities now sought are set out in Table 3 of the report, see the table in the Supplementary Report, namely:

c.     The Police did not make any representation to this application.

d.    The Licensing Authority objected to the full hours sought, and an agreement to the times and conditions has now been made so that representation is now withdrawn. The final agreed conditions between the applicant and the Licensing Authority are set out in Annex 9 of the report.

e.    The only outstanding representations are from Other Persons, namely 11 local residents who have also objected to the application in its entirety. Those representations are set out in Annex 5, from page 49 of the report.

 

2.    The statement of Mr Alfons Prifti (applicant) made by Mr Fabien Simms of FSL Consultants on behalf of the applicant:

 

a.    The reduced hours proposed had been agreed.

b.    The primary objective of the business was to provide coffee and a high-quality range of produce.  It will be a sit-down café/restaurant and not a bar/nightclub as suggested by the interested parties.  The sale of alcohol would be only for on-sales.

c.     It will be waiter service and open to all members of the public.  The aim is not for customers to get intoxicated and any that do will be removed from the premises.

d.    The premises will benefit the community and have no detrimental impact on the area.  Issues with other businesses in the area are not to do with this application.

e.    Customers come through the main door and the outside rear area holds around 20 customers.  The premises is a small and intimate venue.

f.      Each complaint had been considered and no concerns or representations were made from the police or noise nuisance team.  Mr Prifti had never been in trouble with the law and the allegations made were unfounded.

 

3.  In response, the following comments and questions were received:

 

a.    Cllr Savva  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
