BEFORE WALTHAM FOREST COUNCIL’S LICENSING SUB-COMMITTEE

SUMMARY OF PREMISES LICENCE HOLDER’S SUBMISSIONS

FOR NEW PREMISES LICENSING HEARING ON 16th JULY 2019.

• Church Lane Enterprises Ltd have applied for a premises licence under section 17 of

the Licensing Act 2003 are the proposed licence holder of the Premises Licence of

the premises. This Note is designed to assist the Members of the licensing sub-

committee, and all relevant parties, by summarising the Licence Holder’s

submissions and proposals in response to the objections to the application from the

“Interested Parties & Responsible Authorities” application. The director of “Church

Lane Enterprises Ltd has asked us to summaries the current matters at hand.

• On behalf of the proposed Licence Holder, may we firstly acknowledge the

objections made by Councillors Marie Pye, Councillors Jenny Gray & Councillor

Clyde Loakes (Labelled as “APPENDIX D” in the information pack) as well as

objection made by the Police Authority (Labelled as “APPENDIX E” in the information

pack).

• Due to the objections from the councillors & police authority against the application

Our client has responded by taking appropriately robust and serious steps with a

view to minimise any potential risk of crime & disorder, anti-social behaviour, public

nuisance & public safety as well as promoting the other licensing objectives

associated with the premises in the future.

• The proposed licence holder and operating manager (Mr H. Matraxhi & Mr M. Spahiu)

have completed both their Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders as well as

their SIA qualficiations in Door superivison (4 training modules & passed 3 exams -

SIA’s ‘Common’ module, Door supervision module, Conflict management module &

Physical intervention skills modules).

• The daily operation/function of the business will be in the hands of Mr H. Matraxhi &

Mr M. Spahiu (Premises DPS) and a small list of staff who will be in attendance on a

rota/part-time basis, due to the nature of the busiiness it is quite feasiable and

reasonable to presume that the premises would have no negative issues.


2

• We would also like to refer the licensing committee to the Section 182 government

guidance and also to Waltham Forest own licensing policy namely section 4.2.2

which states the following: “The Council has separated its planning and licensing

regimes to avoid duplication and inefficiency. Licensing applications will not,

therefore, be a re-run of the planning application. As appropriate, the Licensing and

Planning Committees will be kept informed of the situation regarding licensed

premises in the area, including the general impact of alcohol- related crime and

disorder.”

• More information is also found within Section 4.2.3 which states the following “In

general, the Council will expect that, prior to the submission of a licensing application,

the appropriate planning permission will have been granted in respect of any

premises both in terms of planning use and hours of operation. Circumstances may

arise when as a condition of planning permission a terminal hour has been set for the

use of premises for commercial purposes. In the event these (terminal) hours are

different to the licensing hours for the premises the applicant must observe the

earlier closing time. Applicants should be aware that premises which operate in

breach of planning permission may be liable to prosecution under Planning Law.”

• In addition to this point it is also worth noting that the premises layout, use class and

the equipment at the site has not changed significantly the premises has undergone

an extensitve and complete upgrade and renovation (Please see Annex B, C & D for

the before and after pictures).

• Following on from receiving the objections the operators were proactive and

approached the local authority in order to engage and constuct conditions which

would remove/address the concerns submitted by licensing & poice authorities and

and the “interested parties” in the area, in addition to this an introduction leaflet/lettter

as been circluated to the local residents invitiing them & informing them about the

proposal and the newly refunshied café/coffee shop coming to the area, and the

extensive investiment made into the building/business in order for patrons to enjoy

the facilities on offer.


3

• A open invite letter was also sent directly to the nearest residential properties on

Harrington & Vernon Road. This action resulted in positive support and

reaction/communication occuuring between the reisdents and the proposed

applicants and the nearest resident (Mrs Mohinder Kaur Chahil - 52 Harington Road,

E11 4QW) was heppy to provide us with written support to the application, there was

also positive engagement and encouragement from the residents of 54 & 55

Harrington Road (Annex E).

• The above shows that the premises operators have tried to engage with the

residents in the community in order to resolve the problems raised by the councillors

who suggested that potential problems may occur.

• Our detailed proposals are set out later in this document and will be verbally

expanded upon at the hearing. At first, we hope it will assist the sub-committee to

provide the following information about the premises and the evidence submitted by

police and residents.

Our premises

• The church lane area is of mixed commercial uses (on ground floor levels) and

residential uses (on the 1st and upper floor levels). This area is well served by public

transport with different bus routes and 24 hour central line less than a minutes’ walk

away.

• The primary function of the business is providing food and drink refreshments in a

calm warm ambiance with friendly courteous service; we want to provide a sanctuary

in which our customers are offered a comprehensive range of the highest quality

foods, coffees and desserts/sweets from around the world. Due to the nature of the

legislation any business which wishes to provide hot food or drinks to members of

the public after 23:00 hours are required to obtain the correct authorisation and that

is the reason behind the request for late night refreshment from 23:00 – 00:00

Sunday to Wednesday & 23:00 – 00:30 Thursday to Saturday within the application.

• The interested parties seem to have the confused the actual details of the application,

and we wish to clearly state that this premises is not and will not be a vertical

drinking establishment or any form of bar/night club, the primary function of this

premises is a café/coffee shop.


4

• The application has not included the provision for regulated entertainment i.e.

live/recorded music etc and this is detailed further by looking at the internal pictures

provided of the premises. The layout and décor is not styled in that type/fashion.

• The proposal for the sale of alcohol is limited to “On Sales” only and as such points

raised about the outside pavement area, the disused telephone box and street

drinking and drug dealing does not apply to this application, customers who

potentially purchase any alcoholic bevenrages will not be allowed to take such items

off the premises.

• In relation to the telephone box outside the premises, the applicant undertook the

time & expense in regards to securing the removal of the telephone box which has

been a point of contention due to the unlawful use of this structure by the various

persons who have been referenced to in the objections made by the Councilors and

Police Authority.

• Street drinkers and other criminal elements/persons have formed a major part of the

objections received against the application and as such we like to reiterate that these

types of people would not be served or allowed to use this premise. The function of

the business as well as the products and facilities on site would not be something to

attract these types of people.

• The only way street drinkers can indulge in anti-social behaviour is to visit a

premises/retailer with the facility for “Off Sales” the problem of street drinkers is

directly assosicated with busineses premises with this function, this premises has not

proposed for the function/faciitiy of “off sales” therefore the granting of this premises

licence application would not add to this problem in the area.

• It is understandable that concerns around issues relating to Anti-Social Behaviour,

street drinkers and drug dealing in the area have been raised, and as such both

proposed licence holder and operating manager have ensured that they have gone

above and beyond the requirements for a premises licence by gaining the additional

SIA Door supervisor qualifications, the specific and targeted modules provide the

required basis to deal with any potential issues in or around the premises.


5

• This qualification will also aid in the promotion of the 4 licensing objectives for the

premises and this qualification will ensure that while customers are on site and when

patrons leave the premises the dispersal of patrons will not cause issues/problems.

• The premises has also invested in a CCTV system for the internal and external areas

of the business, these external cameras are located directly outside the front of the

premises to ensure and deter any issues of crime & disorder and public nuisance.

• This premises has been designed to accommodate customers within the boundaries

of the business, again this business is a café/coffee shop with the proposed facility

for the sale of alcohol and as such will not permit customers to leave the premises to

cause a disturbance/nuisance in the neghbouring area, appropriate signage is

displayed reminding customers to respect the neighbouring area and disperse away

from the area in a quiet and respectful manner and this will be repeated by members

of staff.

• Customers leaving this premises will not be intoxicated nor will they be minded to act

inapproporately or use the premises incorrectly, this premises is not a bar/club so the

character of its patrons will be completely different to that type of establishment.

• There are several factors/measures which will ensure that this premises will not be a

source of disturbance/nuisance namely – the character and atmosphere of the

café/coffee shop and it customers, the members of staff running/operating the

business are trained in reporting issues to DPS or supervising manager on duty, and

will not tolerate inappropriate behaviour and would report it to the relevant authority,

the use of a comprehensive CCTV system will be able to pinpoint any relevant issue

or sources of nuisance and the members of staff will handle it accordingly.


6

• Below are the closest licensed premises in the area, and prior to submitting the

application for a premises licence these premises were looked at and the application

was formulated in order to ensure that the proposal would not be excessive against

the current licenses in the area:

Leytonstone Mini Market Off Licence – 33 Church Lane, Leytonstone,

London E11 1HG

Sala Off Licence - 31 Church Ln, Leytonstone, London E11 1HG

Sainsbury’s 14-15 Church Ln, Leytonstone, London E11 1HG

SFW Express Off Licence - 24-27 Church Lane, Leytonstone, London,

E11 1HG

Marrakech delight - 13 Church Lane, Leytonstone, E11 1HG London

The Olive Restaurant - 25 Kirkdale Road, Leytonstone, London E11 1HP

• We attach a series of photographs (found in Annex B & C) showing the smart

appearance of the premises to show the character of the premises’ being proposed

(which may not be immediately apparent when you are considering & reviewing the

hearing papers).

• Within the objection letter/emails other points outside the remit of the Licensing Act

2003 have been raised such as the location being close to a primary school and

being passed by children and parents on the way to and from the school, the

operation of a café/coffee shop would not create any issues for children or parents,

children wont be allowed on site without being accompanied by a responsible adult

and any persons under the age of 18 wont be served any alcoholic products.

• The point raised about the outside area being magnet for ASB and drinking in the

street, can not be associated with this application this premise is self contained and

has no impact on the outside area during the day or later in the evening.

• It is evident that points raised relate to the general bad current & past experiences

from other licensed premises which operated to a completely different scale,

business model and attracts a completely different clientele into the area.


7

• Even within the objection submitted by the Licensing Enforcement Officer Mr

Sherman Xavier it clearly states the level of support for the application for the sale of

alchol in the café/coffee shop environment, with the only real cause for concern

again relates to the actions of the “Off Licences” in the area.

• In relation to the other incidents detailed in the papers, we would make the following

points, while acknowleding that each complaint is being taken with the appropriate

consideration, but the constant aspect which is present throughout the

objections/complaints relates to previous historial problems with the area, and this

could not add to these issues when you consider the agreed control

measures/conditions for the premises, and in general these problems not associated

with this type of café/coffee shop.

Public Nuisance

• Following on from the letter drop and the posting of information on the local notice

board - Residents have made representations supporting the application which is a

positive step in ensuring that the premises becomes integrated into the community.

Further conditions

• In addition to the “conditions/measures” referred to in the application, the operators

proposes the following conditions and steps:

• Management are required to undertaken first-aid, fire safety and Health &

Safety training [the DPS is currently arranging for this training to take place];

• All staff members will be informed by the DPS/Licence Holder that they must

co-operate fully with any and all police investigations relating to incidents at

the premises as a condition of their employment;

• During the hours of operation of the premises, the DPS shall ensure sufficient

measures are in place to remove and prevent litter or waste arising or

accumulating from customers in the area immediately outside the premises,

and that this area shall be swept and or washed, and litter and sweepings

collected and stored in accordance with the approved refuse storage

arrangements by close of business.


8

Conclusion

• It is respectfully suggested that the conditions and measures now proposed by the

Licence Holder amount to the appropriate, necessary and proportionate steps

required to be taken to promote the four licensing objectives. The major points of

contention seems to relate to general problems being experienced in the area, and

some of these problems can be directly related to premises which provide “Off Sales”

when you investigate that street drinkers causing ASB issues are generally fueled by

the sale of cheap cans & bottles of large volume and high strenght alcohol which is

generally preferred by street drinkters with limited funds.

• The Licence Holder and DPS asks for the opportunity to demonstrate to the

responsible authority departments & councilors that they are worthy of being trusted

and working with everyone in the area to become fully intergated part of the

community.

• It is in the Licence Holder’s interests, as well as all the members of staff’s interests to

ensure that the business provides a positive experience to all customers and

residents in the area, and to ensure that no negative incidents occur. As there has

been significate level of investiment into this premises and a long lease has been

undertaken in order to make this business successful.

• Coming into the final aspects relating to this application we would like to draw

attention to the following aspects in relation to published guidance for the Licensing

Act 2003.

• There is no evidence that the issuing of a premises licence for this property would

increase the issues of crime and anti social behaviour and that the premises would

be a crime generator.

• Decisions would need to be evidence based and the need for this is contained in the

current guidance and should be in the Councils own Licensing Policy. I have

included some key ones below from the Guidance.


9

• 1.9 Section 4 of the 2003 Act provides that, in carrying out its functions, a licensing

authority must ‘have regard to’ guidance issued by the Secretary of State under

section 182. The requirement is therefore binding on all licensing authorities to that

extent. However, the guidance cannot anticipate every possible scenario or set of

circumstances that may arise and, as long as licensing authorities have properly

understood the Guidance, they may depart from it if they have reason to do so as

long as they are able to provide full reasons. Departure from the Guidance could give

rise to an appeal or judicial review, and the reasons given will then be a key

consideration for the courts when considering the lawfulness and merits of any

decision taken.

• 1.10 Nothing in this Guidance should be taken as indicating that any requirement of

licensing law or any other law may be overridden (including the obligations placed on

any public authorities under human rights legislation). The Guidance does not in any

way replace the statutory provisions of the 2003 Act or add to its scope and licensing

authorities should note that interpretation of the 2003 Act is a matter for the courts.

Licensing authorities and others using the Guidance must take their own professional

and legal advice about its implementation.

• LICENSING POLICIES

• 1.12 However, determining and publishing a statement of its policy is a licensing

function and as such the authority must have regard to the Secretary of State’s

Guidance when taking this step. A licensing authority may depart from its own policy

if the individual circumstances of any case merit such a decision in the interests of

the promotion of the licensing objectives. But once again, it is important that it should

be able to give full reasons for departing from its published statement of licensing

policy. Where revisions to this Guidance are issued by the Secretary of State, there

may be a period of time when the licensing policy statement is inconsistent with the

Guidance (for example, during any consultation by the licensing authority). In these

circumstances, the licensing authority should have regard, and give appropriate

weight, to the Guidance and its own existing licensing policy statement.


10

LICENCE CONDITIONS – GENERAL PRINCIPLES

• 1.16 Conditions on a premises licence or club premises certificate are important in

setting the parameters within which premises can lawfully operate. The use of

wording such as “must”, “shall” and “will” is encouraged. Licence conditions:

• must be appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives;

• must be precise and enforceable;

• must be unambiguous and clear in what they intend to achieve;

• should not duplicate other statutory requirements or other duties or responsibilities

placed on the employer by other legislation;

• must be tailored to the individual type, location and characteristics of the premises

and events concerned;

• should not be standardised and may be unlawful when it cannot be demonstrated

that they are appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in an individual

case;

• should not replicate offences set out in the 2003 Act or other legislation;

• should be proportionate, justifiable and be capable of being met, (for example, whilst

beer glasses may be available in toughened glass, wine glasses may not);

• cannot seek to manage the behaviour of customers once they are beyond the direct

management of the licence holder and their staff, but may impact on the behaviour of

customers in the immediate vicinity of the premises or as they enter or leave; and

• should be written in a prescriptive format.


11

EACH APPLICATION ON ITS OWN MERITS

• 1.17 Each application must be considered on its own merits and in accordance with

the licensing authority’s statement of licensing policy where, for example, its effect on

cumulative impact is relevant.

• Conditions attached to licences and certificates must be tailored to the individual type,

location and characteristics of the premises and events concerned.

• This is essential to avoid the imposition of disproportionate and overly burdensome

conditions on premises where there is no need for such conditions.

• Standardised conditions should be avoided and indeed may be unlawful where they

cannot be shown to be appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in an

individual case.

• 9.12 Each responsible authority will be an expert in their respective field, and in

some cases it is likely that a particular responsible authority will be the licensing

authority’s main source of advice in relation to a particular licensing objective. For

example, the police have a key role in managing the night-time economy and should

have good working relationships with those operating in their local area5. The police

should usually therefore be the licensing authority’s main source of advice on

matters relating to the promotion of the crime and disorder licensing objective.

However, any responsible authority under the 2003 Act may make representations

with regard to any of the licensing objectives if they have evidence to support such

representations. Licensing authorities must therefore consider all relevant

representations from responsible authorities carefully, even where the reason for a

particular responsible authority’s interest or expertise in the promotion of a particular

objective may not be immediately apparent. However, it remains incumbent on all

responsible authorities to ensure that their representations can withstand the scrutiny

to which they would be subject at a hearing.


12

• Determining actions that are appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives

• 9.43 The authority’s determination should be evidence-based, justified as being

appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives and proportionate to what it

is intended to achieve.

13. APPEALS

• 13.6 The court, on hearing any appeal, may review the merits of the decision on the

facts and consider points of law or address both.

Giving reasons for decisions

• 13.10 It is important that a licensing authority gives comprehensive reasons for its

decisions in anticipation of any appeals. Failure to give adequate reasons could itself

give rise to grounds for an appeal. It is particularly important that reasons should also

address the extent to which the decision has been made with regard to the licensing

authority’s statement of policy and this Guidance. Reasons should be promulgated to

all the parties of any process which might give rise to an appeal under the terms of

the 2003 Act.

ANNEX I – MR H MATRAXHI WITNESS STATEMENT WITNESS STATEMENT: Mr H MATRAXHI (Director) Church Lane Enterprises Ltd Declaration: This statement is true to the best of my belief and knowledge. As the Premises Licence is listed as a limited company (Mr H Matraxhi is the company director), the daily operation/function of the business will be in the hands of either or both of Mr H Matraxhi & Mr Meroman Spahiu (Both have Passed their Personal Licence and SIA Door Supervisors qualifications - Premises DPS) and a small list of staff who will be in attendance on a rota/part-time basis, due to the nature of the proposed business it is not likely that there will be any negative impact created. In total there will be 8 bar and serving staff working either full time or on a part time rota basis. After receiving the objections the operators were proactive and approached the local authority in order for them to act a mediator in regards to the concerns submitted by the “interested parties/residents” in the area. In addition to this an introduction leaflet/letter was circulated to the local residents, inviting them to come into the coffee shop to experience how the business is operated in order to alleviate any concerns. The above shows that the premises operators have tried to engage with the residents in the community in order to resolve the problems raised in the letter of objection but unfortunately this engagement has been refused. Indeed the applicant is totally committed to ensuring that the coffee café/coffee shop adds real value to the community and provides a service for the long term. This is evidenced by the fact that company has invested over £200, 000 in refurbishments and development. Our Premises The area is of mixed commercial use (on ground floor levels) and residential uses (on the 1st and upper floor levels). The residential area above is occupied solely by the director, Mr Matraxhi. This area is well served by public transport with the Leytonstone central line underground station and also 11 different bus routes which includes a night buses. Although there are residential premises located adjacent to one side of the premises and at the rear of the external area there is no premises to the other side as the property occupies a corner plot. The adjacent premises is separated by a wall approximately 5 metres in height and by a retractable roof over the courtyard of the applicant’s premises. There are no windows on the adjacent wall. The rear wall rises to about 10 metres at its highest and there are no over-looking windows into the court yard of the applicant’s premises from this neighbouring property. The court yard of the applicant’s premises in set back from the wall which borders the courtyard and the street. The physical layout of the premises and the neighbouring properties means that there is likely to be little to no noise disturbance to neighbouring properties. Indeed the resident living at the property which borders the rear wall of the applicant’s premises has written into the licensing authority to support the application. The primary function of our business is providing coffee in a calm warm ambiance with friendly courteous service; we want to provide a sanctuary in which our customers are


36

offered a comprehensive range of the highest quality coffees and desserts/sweets from around the world. Due to the nature of the legislation any business which wishes to provide hot food or drinks to members of the public after 23:00 hours are required to obtain the correct authorisation and that is the reason behind the request for late night refreshment from 23:00 – 00:30 within the application. Although the business intends to serve alcohol it appears that the interested parties seem to have the confused the actual details of the application, and we wish to clearly state that this premises is not and will never be a vertical drinking establishment or any form of bar/night club, the primary function of this premises is a coffee shop serving food. The application has not included the provision for regulated entertainment i.e. live/recorded music etc and as can be seen from the internal pictures provided of the premises the layout and décor is not styled in that type/fashion. Indeed the premises have been designed with an emphasis on people sitting in a coffee shop style environment and with a focus on proper food served in an integrated brand new kitchen. The proposal for the sale of alcohol is limited to “On Sales” only and as such points raised about clearing/fishing cans and bottles out of front gardens does not apply to this application, customers who potentially purchase any alcoholic beverages will not be allowed to take such items off the premises. A few metres away from the premises is a bus terminal which is serviced by 11 different bus routes which includes a night buses and the 24 hour central line Leytonstone Station underground the premises has been designed to accommodate customers within the boundaries of the business, again this business is a coffee shop with the proposed facility for the sale of alcohol and as such will not permit customers to leave the premises to cause a disturbance/nuisance in the neighbouring area, appropriate signage is displayed reminding customers to respect the neighbouring area and disperse away from the area in a quiet and respectful manner. Customers leaving this premises will not be intoxicated nor will they be minded to act inappropriately or use the premises incorrectly as the premises is not a bar/club so the character of its patrons will be completely different to that type of establishment. There are several factors/measures which will ensure that this premises will not be a source of disturbance/nuisance namely: the character and atmosphere of the coffee shop and it customers; the members of staff running/operating the business are trained in reporting issues to DPS or supervising manager on duty, and will not tolerate inappropriate behaviour and would report it to the relevant authority; the use of a comprehensive CCTV system will be able to pinpoint any relevant issue or sources of nuisance so that members of staff can handle it accordingly.

Below are the closest licensed premises in the area, and prior to submitting the application for a premises licence these premises were looked at and the application was formulated in order to ensure that the proposal would not be excessive against the current licences in the area Leytonstone Mini Market Off Licence – 33 Church Lane, Leytonstone, London E11 1HG Sala Off Licence - 31 Church Ln, Leytonstone, London E11 1HG Sainsbury’s 14-15 Church Ln, Leytonstone, London E11 1HG SFW Express Off Licence - 24-27 Church Lane, Leytonstone, London, E11 1HG Marrakech delight - 13 Church Lane, Leytonstone, E11 1HG London The Olive Restaurant - 25 Kirkdale Road, Leytonstone, London E11 1HP In an effort to respond positively to the representations received the company have agreed to several conditions proposed by the licensing enforcement officer, Sherman Xavier, in his letter dated 23rd May 2019. All of these conditions have been agreed to in full save in respect of condition 2 on page 1 of the letter under the title “The Prevention of Public Nuisance”. In this condition the officer proposed that a maximum of 5 persons shall be permitted to use the smoking area at any one time after 2200 hours. This condition has now been agreed with the number of persons being 6. These conditions provide a very significant safeguard against the concerns of those making representations although our view is that due to the nature of what is proposed there is no real prospect of this establishment causing any negative impact.

FOR NEW PREMISES LICENSING HEARING ON 16th JULY 2019. · off the premises. • In relation to the telephone box outside the premises, the applicant undertook the time & expense in
