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

a.  This was an application for review of a premises licence, brought by the Licensing Authority.

b.  The licence had been in force since May 2015.

c.  Mr Luigi Patrascu and Mrs Eugenia Patrascu were the named premises licence holders since 13 May 2015. Mr Luigi Patrascu had also been the named designated premises supervisor since 26 April 2016.

d.  The licence permitted live and recorded music from 12:00 to 23:00 Monday to Thursday and from 14:00 to 01:00 the following day Friday to Sunday.

e.  On 13 May 2016 the Licensing Authority made the application for the review of the licence. The Licensing Authority sought the removal of live music from the licence, and to modify conditions. The review application related to the prevention of public nuisance and public safety.

f.  A witness statement had been provided in support of the review application by the Metropolitan Police.

g.  Annex 5 to the report detailed the conditions sought by the Licensing Authority. Some of the conditions would depend on what decision the Licensing Sub-Committee took today.

If the sub-committee were minded to retain live music on the licence, the authority sought additional conditions 28 to 32, and conditions 18 and 19 to be amended to apply to live and recorded music.

i.  In general, licensed premises were automatically entitled to have live and recorded music between 08:00 and 23:00, and any related conditions would only be enforceable after 23:00. If problems arose and review of a licence was sought, conditions could be added to specify live music as a licensable activity and that conditions would be enforceable throughout the day.

j.  Mr and Mrs Patrascu were present at this meeting to represent themselves, with their son acting as interpreter and spokesperson.
