25/09/2024 - Premises Licence for Greenwich Convenience Store, 100 Woolwich Road, SE100LE ref: 581    Recommendations Approved

Decision Maker: Licensing Review Sub-Committee

Made at meeting: 25/09/2024 - Licensing Review Sub-Committee

Decision published: 02/10/2024

Effective from: 25/09/2024

Decision:

In reaching its decision, the Licensing Sub-Committee (“LSC”) considered the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, the Licensing Act 2003, the Regulations made thereunder, and the Guidance issued by the Secretary of State under S.182 of that Act. In discharging its functions, the LSC did so with a view to promoting the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime and disorder and the protection of children from harm.

 

Having considered all written representations, evidence, and oral submissions, the LSC resolved to modify the current premises licence with the addition of seven conditions.

 

Permitted Licensable Activities:

Supply of alcohol for consumption off the premises only, Monday to Sunday.

 

Permitted Hours for Licensable Activities:

Monday to Saturday from 08:00 until 23:00, Sunday from 10:00 until 22:30, Christmas Day from 12:00 until 15:00 and from 19:00 until 22:30, and Good Friday from 08:00 until 22:30.

 

The Premises Licence shall be amended to add the following conditions:

 

1.    The Challenge 25/Think 25 or contemporary equivalent proof of age scheme shall be operated at the premises. All customers who appear under the age of 25 will be challenged to prove that they are over 18 when attempting to purchase alcohol or other age-restricted products. Acceptable forms of ID include a photo driving license, passport, or home office approved identity card bearing the holographic ‘PASS’ mark. If the person seeking alcohol or other age-restricted products is unable to produce an acceptable form of identification, no sale or supply of alcohol or other age-restricted products shall be made to or for that person.

 

2.    All staff shall be trained in the law about the sale of alcohol and other age-restricted products. Such training will include challenging every individual who appears to be under 25 years of age and to refuse service where individuals cannot produce acceptable means of identification, acceptable forms of ID and using the refusal register. Such training (including any refresher training) will be logged and provided not less than every six months. The training log shall be made available for inspection by police and “authorised persons” immediately upon request.

 

3.    A refusals log (or equivalent) shall be kept at the premises and made immediately available on request to the police or an “authorised person”. The refusals log is to be inspected on a monthly basis by the DPS and noted in the log; and a record made in the log of any actions that appear to be needed to protect young people from harm. The log must record all refused sales of alcohol or other age-restricted products and include the following: a. the identity of the member of staff who refused to sale; b. the date and time of the refusal; c. the alcohol or other age restricted products requested and the reason for refusal; and d. the description of the person refused alcohol or other age-restricted product.

 

4.    The following posters, or contemporary equivalent shall be displayed conspicuously on the premises in customer facing areas: a. ‘Think 25’ to advise potential purchases that suitable proof of age will be required for all purchases who appear to be under 25. b. ‘It's A Crime’ intended to warn adults not to buy alcohol or other age-restricted products for those under 18 years-of-age. c. any updated and relevant posters which highlight child protection and safeguarding measures as given by Police and “authorised persons”.

 

5.    All alcoholic drinks sold for consumption off the premises shall be clearly labelled or marked with the name of the premises or the last four digits of the Premises Licence.

 

6.    The Licence Holder shall install and maintain a comprehensive CCTV system as approved by the Metropolitan Police. All public areas of the licenced premises, including all public entry and exit points and the street environment shall be covered enabling facial identification of every person entering in any light condition. The CCTV system shall continuously record whilst the premises is opened for licensable activities and during all times when a member of the public is on the premises. All recordings shall be stored for a minimum period of 31 days with date and time stamping. Recording shall be made available immediately upon the request of a Police Officer, Police Community Safety Officer, or authorised Local Authority Officer.

 

7.    A staff member from the premises who is conversant with the operation of the CCTV system shall be on the premises at all times when the premises are open to the public and must be able to retrieve recorded footage and show it to a police officer, Police Community Safety Officer or authorised Local Authority Officer upon request.

 

Basis of Decision

 

The Applicant was in attendance with his Son, who spoke on his behalf due to the language barrier. The Applicant presented remorse for the sale of a nicotine-based age-restricted Vape product (“a vape”) to a minor following a test purchase. He understood that this highlighted the need for stricter licensing conditions regarding sales of alcohol and age-restricted products to avoid sales to minors. The Applicant explained that all of the obligations under the proposed additional license conditions had already been implemented 3 at the premises, including CCTV and an ID prompt on the till for alcohol and tobacco products.

 

The Applicant requested that proposed licensing condition 5 be removed. The Applicant explained that alcoholic drinks for consumption are already marked and expressed that the additional requirement under the proposed condition was tedious and would place substantial onus on the staff to implement. The LSC questioned how many minors’ shop at the premises. The Applicant stated that most customers were adults and therefore most items at the premises were marketed towards adults, with few products being marketed towards minors. The LSC explained that proposed licensing condition 5 was included as The Royal Borough of Greenwich wants to ensure all shops in the borough are as responsible as possible with the sale of alcohol and age-restricted goods. The Applicant accepted the LSC’s submissions and accepted all seven additional licence conditions.

 

In their decision the LSC expressed concern regarding the sale of a vape to a minor during a test purchase, as well as concern for the growing cases of minors using and obtaining vapes. The LSC were satisfied that the proposed additional license conditions would help to prevent sales of alcohol to minors but noted the proposed license conditions would not help prevent sales of vapes to minors. The LSC requested that the wording of the proposed additional license conditions be amended to include age-restricted products, such as nicotine-based vapes.

The LSC also placed emphasis on the need for proposed licencing condition 2 to ensure adequate and regular training for all staff regarding sales of alcohol and other age-restricted products such as nicotine-based vapes. The LSC expressed the importance of correct training to avoid further sales of age-restricted products to minors. The LSC requested proposed condition 2 be amended to require the license holder to provide evidence of staff training on the sales alcohol and other age-restricted products every six-months.

 

The revised licence subject to the proportionate conditions attached to the license will promote the licensing objectives.

 

Any party aggrieved by this decision may appeal to the magistrates’ court within 21 days.

17/09/2024 - Variation of the existing premises licence for AFC Lewisham, Gresham Sports Ground, Eltham Road, London SE12 8ES ref: 539    Recommendations Approved

Decision Maker: Licensing Sub-Committee C

Made at meeting: 17/09/2024 - Licensing Sub-Committee C

Decision published: 24/09/2024

Effective from: 17/09/2024

Decision:

In reaching its decision, the Licensing Sub-Committee (“LSC”) considered the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, the Licensing Act 2003, the Regulations made thereunder, and the Guidance issued by the Secretary of State under S.182 of that Act. In discharging its functions, the LSC did so with a view to promoting the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance and the protection of children from harm. 

 

Having considered all written representations, evidence, and oral submissions, the LSC resolved to refuse the application to vary the premises licence.

 

 

 

Basis of Decision

 

The variation application sought to extend the hours for licensable activities from 9.30pm to 11pm or midnight on various days of the week. The agent for the applicant confirmed that the application was amended, and conditions agreed, as recommended, in response to the written representation by Environmental Health.

 

The application also sought permission for off sales of alcohol, however, this was qualified by the agent for the applicant that off sales of alcohol were only for consumption on the front terrace of the premises.

 

The agent’s submissions regarding the law and statutory guidance were noted and given appropriate weight.

 

The agent’s reference to the crime statistics in the locality within the last 6 months was noted with due regard and given appropriate weight.

 

It was noted that the premises are used for and benefit the community and has a charitable status.

 

The agent’s submissions regarding residents never liking the club and not wanting it in the locality was not evidenced and plainly wrong. Indeed, those objecting to the substantive application supported the club and the community work it engages in. What the residents did oppose was the noise and public nuisance, crime and disorder associated with the premises and the negative impact on their daily living.

 

In reaching its decision the LSC noted the history of the premises from 2022 but more pertinently considered the existing conditions of the premises licence, the Temporary Event Notices (TENs) in 2023 and in 2024, and the evidence of ongoing noise, public nuisance and anti-social behaviour associated with the premises.

 

The LSC heard compelling evidence from councillors and residents of the ongoing noise and public nuisance from the premises including when TENs were in force. There was also clear evidence of licensable activities being carried on without lawful licence or authorisation, or events going beyond permitted hours late into the night. Examples being conditions 11 and 18 within Annex 2 of the licence for the car park not being complied with, patrons loitering, yelling, playing car radios and talking loudly and disturbing residents and children. The TEN application, for 6th August 2023, was withdrawn but the event proceeded with loud music audible in residential premises. Similarly, an event continued beyond permitted hours on 15th July 2024, with accompanying anti-social behaviour, and disruption in the locality, noise and loud music being played. The schedule of complaints within the report to the LSC were given proportionate and proper weight by the LSC. The evidence from the Councillors and residents, being 54 written representations opposing the application, and oral submissions during the hearing, was clear evidence of the continuing nature of the public nuisance, anti-social behaviour and crime and disorder associated with the premises and ongoing breaches of the licence conditions.          

 

The Applicant’s Agent’s submissions regarding the categories of complaints and being individually de minimis in numbers over a period of time, were noted. However, the LSC, in reaching its decision, considered the cumulative impact of the ongoing public nuisance and crime and disorder associated with the premises.

 

Submissions that the applicant has made improvements since 2022, were welcomed by the LSC, however, the licence holder and operators of the premises are under a lawful obligation to comply with the licence conditions and to promote the licensing objectives, it is not something that is voluntary or optional.

 

The evidence from Environmental Health was that there were still complaints of noise and loud music being received, although not at the same high levels as in 2022. Whilst the noise abatement notice may not have been witnessed to have been breached, for statutory nuisance, that did not translate into there being no public nuisance, noise and disturbance to residents. The LSC heard evidence of noise being tolerated by residents, up to a point when it was in the early evening and there was evidence of complaint fatigue given the ongoing noise, public nuisance and crime and disorder associated with the premises since 2022.

 

The application for off sales of alcohol, even for consumption on the outside front terrace, was not considered to be appropriate given the subsisting noise and public nuisance and anti-social behaviour and drinking outside the premises and to grant the application would not promote the licencing objectives.

 

The LSC whilst noting that the premises are also used for fund raising activities for sporting events, as well as private hire, the LSC cannot take into consideration commercial matters, they are not a licensing objective, and must be disregarded. It was also clear that when the premises are let out for private hire, that there are no effective management controls in place to promote the licensing objectives.

 

The LSC considered that to grant the variation application would not promote the licensing objectives and specifically the prevention of public nuisance and prevention of crime and disorder.

 

Any party aggrieved by this decision may appeal to the magistrates’ court within 21 days.

Basis of Decision

 

The Applicant’s representative explained and clarified the application and that it was only for home games at the stadium and the fan zone would only be used on match days. It was further submitted to the LSC that not all matches will kick off at 3pm as traditionally on a Saturday and that was the reason for seeking a premises licence 7 days a week from 9am to 9pm. The fan zone would help to reduce street drinking. The Fan Zone would only open 2 hours before kick-off and 60 minutes after the game unless it was an evening match. Acceptance of the police conditions was confirmed.

 

The LSC received and gave due weight and regard to submissions against the application. The LSC noted that the Fan Zone has boundaries with residential premises and gardens, and the exiting noise and disturbance on match days, and related public nuisance. Residents are no able to fully enjoy the normal use of homes and their gardens on match days because of the noise from and associated with the stadium.

 

The LSC noted and had due regard to the petition against the application for the Fan Zone and submission that not sufficient notice of match dates is available to residents in the immediate locality and most effected. The LSC noted the submission of the impact of noise and disturbance and foul language on match days on a weekly basis for 7 months each year.

 

In reaching its decision the LSC disregarded any planning matters as to do so would be unlawful.

 

The LSC considered the application for off sales and determined that would not be conducive to reducing street drinking.

 

The revised application for the premises licence subject to the proportionate conditions attached to the license will promote the licensing objectives. 

 

Any party aggrieved by this decision may appeal to the magistrates’ court within 21 days.

23/09/2024 - Increasing the supply of private rented sector lettings to reduce the spend on temporary accommodation ref: 540    Recommendations Approved

To agree an updated and improved offer for home owners, landlords and developers that increases the supply of privately rented homes made available to meet homelessness duties. This includes private rented sector tenancies which the council has no landlord responsibilities for and private sector homes for which the council enters into a lease of fewer than 10 years (Private Sector Leasing). This will contribute to the council better meeting the housing needs of more homeless households and reducing the council’s spend from the General Fund on temporary accommodation.
