Notes from the previous Licensing Sub-Committees
Brassiere Café Med, 21 Loudon Road, London, NW8 ONB (18/12993/LREVP)
The Committee considered an application for a review of the premises licence for Brassiere Café Med, 21 Loudon Road NW8 ONB, which had been submitted by the Home Office. The Sub-Committee noted that the Home Office had requested that the application for review be withdrawn.
The Sub-Committee heard from the Home Office, the licence holder, and the licence holder’s representative, and did not consider that adequate evidence had been submitted that would justify revoking the licence.
Having carefully considered the application, the evidence that had been submitted and the circumstances in which the request for withdrawal had been made, the Sub-Committee agreed that the application be withdrawn.
Noura Brassiere, 11-12 William Street, London, SW1X 9HL (18/13511/LREVP)
The Committee considered an application for a review of the premises licence for Noura Brassiere, 11-12 William Street SW1X 9HL, which had been submitted by the Home Office.
The Sub-Committee heard from the Home Office, the licence holder, and the licence holder’s representative, and noted the measures that had been taken to verify that staff could be legally employed. The Sub-Committee also noted that the documentation submitted by employees had been reviewed by the licence holder’s accountant, and that payments had been made to the National Insurance Numbers that had been provided.
Having carefully considered the application, and the measures that had been taken to ensure that the members of staff could be legally employed, the Sub-Committee agreed that revocation of the premises licence would not be appropriate. The Sub-Committee informed the licence holder that in future, they would need to be more diligent in ensuring that illegal working did not occur at the premises. The Sub-Committee also suggested that in similar situations, the Home Office should enter into a dialogue with the licence holder before requesting revocation.

After carefully considering the Application and the evidence provided by all parties the Sub-Committee agreed that the conditions proposed were appropriate and proportionate and would promote the licensing objectives. Therefore the application was granted. The Sub-Committee recognised the establishment was well managed and had received a number of acclaims.

The Sub-Committee had before it an application for a variation of a premises licence for a premises currently operating as a restaurant with on sales. The Applicant sought to vary Condition 9 and 10 of the premises license so as to permit private functions in the basement. It was anticipated that 50 private functions would occur each year at an average of one per week and be attended by up to 100 persons. The Representation from Environmental Health was withdrawn following a satisfactory check on the Premises history in relation to public nuisance. The Premises is situated in the West End Cumulative Impact Area.
The Licensing Authority’s Representative maintained their representation on Policy Grounds. Representation was also received from the Soho Society who raised concerns over public nuisance and the net effect in the cumulative Impact Area.
After carefully considering the Application and the evidence provided by parties the Sub-Committee refused the Application. The Sub-Committee noted that although the Applicant was willing to amend Condition 9 so that the sale of alcohol is ancillary to substantial food rather than refreshments, on balance, the Sub-Committee agreed that the Application did not demonstrate that there was an exception to policy and would not add negatively to the Cumulative Impact Area.
