Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
6.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
6.1 Designated Premises Supervisor
The proposed Designated Premises Supervisor is Pito Singh Chopra (also the proposed
licence holder), who currently holds a Personal Licence issued by the London Borough of
Hillingdon.
6.2 A Map of the area is attached at Appendix 4.
7.0 OFFICER'S OBSERVATIONS
7.1 Both representations mention the potential for the grant of this licence to exacerbate existing
nuisance and anti-social behaviour issues in the local area. Objectors may expand upon their
original submissions but should not introduce new evidence during the hearing, unless the
new evidence is provided and circulated before the hearing or introduced at the hearing with
the agreement of all parties present.
7.2 It should be noted that both the Police and the council’s Environmental Protection team were
consulted on this application as statutory consultees in their roles as Responsible Authorities,
but no representations were received from these authorities.
7.3 The representations from Bhajan Khaneja state that they are concerned that the grant of a
new licence will affect their business. These comments do not directly relate to one or more
of the licensing objectives, and therefore should not be taken into account when considering
the representations. The representa tions from Bhajan Khaneja do however mention their
concerns that granting this licence could result in increased crime and disorder in the area,
which may be considered to be relevant to the licensing objectives.
7.4 The premises previously traded as a local convenience store and held a licence to sell alcohol
from 07.00 hours to 00.00 hours Monday to Sunday. The premises licence was surrendered
on 14th August 2024, but we are advised that the premises had ceased trading in September
2023. The applicant for this licence is not the same person as the previous licence holder.
7.5 The representations mention anti -social behaviour occurring in a local car park. There is
parking available on Dawley Parade and Dallega Close. These parking spaces are covered
by the council’s parking management scheme and are available for use by permit holders
only between 08.00 hours and 18.30 hours Monday to Saturday. Permit bays are available
outside the premises to a distance of approximately 125 metres away. Immediately outside
the premises are seven pay and display bays, operational between 08.00 hours and 18.30
hours Monday to Saturday.
7.6 There is a private yard, accessible down the side of 7 Dawley Parade, which could also be
used for parking, but this land is privately owned and does not fall under the responsibility of
the council.
7.7 Both representations mention how there is already an existing licensed premises in the area.
This location is not covered by a cumulative impact zone or other special policy under the
council’s Licensing Policy and there is no power to limit the number of premises within a
specific area. Any discussion regarding this application should focus upon the application and
premises in question.
Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
8.0 RELEVANT SECTIONS OF S.182 GUIDANCE
8.1 Public nuisance
Paragraph 2.27 states “Beyond the immediate area surrounding the premises, these are
matters for the personal responsibility of individuals under the law. An individual who engages
in antisocial behaviour is accountable in their own right. However, it would be perfectly
reasonable for a licensing authority to impose a condition, following relevant representations,
that requires the licence holder or club to place signs at the exits from the building
encouraging patrons to be quiet until they leave the area, or that, if they wish to smoke, to do
so at designated places on the premises instead of outside, and to respect the rights of people
living nearby to a peaceful night”.
8.2 Determining actions that are appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives
Paragraph 9.42 states "Licensing authorities are best placed to determine what actions are
appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in their areas. Al l licensing
determinations should be considered on a case-by-case basis. They should take into account
any representations or objections that have been received from responsible authorities or
other persons, and representations made by the applicant or premises user as the case may
be".
Paragraph 9.43 states "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".
Paragraph 9.44 states "Determination of whether an action or step is appropriate for the
promotion of the licensing objectives requires an assessment of what action or step would be
suitable to achieve that end. While this does not therefore require a licensing author ity to
decide that no lesser step will achieve the aim, the authority should aim to consider the
potential burden that any condition would impose on the premises licence holder (such as
the financial burden due to restrictions on licensable activities) as well as the potential benefit
in terms of the promotion of the licensing objectives. However, it is imperative that the
authority ensures that the factors which form the basis of its determination are limited to
consideration of the promotion of the object ives and nothing outside those parameters. As
with the consideration of licence variations, the licensing authority should consider wider
issues such as other conditions already in place to mitigate potential negative impact on the
promotion of the licensing objectives and the track record of the business. Further advice on
determining what is appropriate when imposing conditions on a licence or certificate is
provided in Chapter 10. The licensing authority is expected to come to its determination based
on an assessment of the evidence on both the risks and benefits either for or against making
the determination".
8.3 Proportionality
Paragraph 10.2 states “Conditions include any limitations or restrictions attached to a licence
or certificate and essentially are the steps or actions that the holder of the premises licence
or the club premises certificate will be required to take or refrain from taking in relation to the
carrying on of licensable activities at the premises in question. Failure to co mply with any
condition attached to a licence or certificate is a criminal offence, which on conviction is
punishable by an unlimited fine or up to six months’ imprisonment. The courts have made
clear that it is particularly important that conditions which are imprecise or difficult for a licence
holder to observe should be avoided”.
Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
Paragraph 10.8 states “The licensing authority may not impose any conditions unless its
discretion has been exercised following receipt of relevant representations and it is s atisfied
as a result of a hearing (unless all parties agree a hearing is not necessary) that it is
appropriate to impose conditions to promote one or more of the four licensing objectives. In
order to promote the crime prevention licensing objective conditions may be included that are
aimed at preventing illegal working in licensed premises. This provision also applies to minor
variations.
Paragraph 10.10 states "The 2003 Act requires that licensing conditions should be tailored
to the size, type, location and characteristics and activities taking place at the premises
concerned. Conditions should be determined on a case -by-case basis and standardised
conditions which ignore these individual aspects should be avoided. For example, conditions
should not be used to implement a general policy in a given area such as the use of CCTV,
polycarbonate drinking vessels or identity scanners where they would not be appropriate to
the specific premises. Conditions that are considered appropriate for the prevention of illegal
working in premises licensed to sell alcohol or late night refreshment might include requiring
a premises licence holder to undertake right to work checks on all staff employed at the
licensed premises or requiring that evidence of a right to work check, either physical or digital
(e.g. copy of any document checked or a clear copy of the online right to work check) is
retained at the licensed premises. Licensing authorities may also wish to consider placing
additional conditions on licences to safeguard patrons against spiking, if deemed appropriate
and proportionate for a specific venue where there is evidence to justify such action (a
definition of spiking can be found in para 2.7).
Licensing authorities and other responsible authorities should be a live to the indirect costs
that can arise because of conditions. These could be a deterrent to holding events that are
valuable to the community or for the funding of good and important causes. Licensing
authorities should therefore ensure that any conditions they impose are only those which are
appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives".
8.4 Hours of Trading
Paragraph 10.13 states "The Government acknowledges that different licensing strategies
may be appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in different areas. The 2003
Act gives the licensing authority power to make decisions about the hours during which
premises can conduct licensable activities as part of the implementation of its licensing policy
statement.
Licensing authorities are best placed to make decisions about appropriate opening hours in
their areas based on their local knowledge and in consultation with responsible authorities.
However, licensing authorities must always consider each application and must not impose
predetermined licensed opening hours, without giving individual consideration to the merits
of each application".
Paragraph 10.15 states “Shops, stores and supermarkets should normally be free to provide
sales of alcohol for consumption off the pr emises at any times when the retail outlet is open
for shopping unless there are good reasons, based on the licensing objectives, for restricting
those hours”.
Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
8.5 Licensing Hours
Paragraph 14.51 states “With regard to licensing hours, the Government acknowledges that
different licensing approaches may be appropriate for the promotion of the licensing
objectives in different areas. The 2003 Act gives the licensing authority power to make
decisions regarding licensed opening hours as part of the implementation of its licensing
policy statement and licensing authorities are best placed to make such decisions based on
their local knowledge and in consultation with other responsible authorities. However ,
licensing authorities must always consider each application and must not impose
predetermined licensed opening hours, without giving individual consideration to the merits
of each application”.
Paragraph 14.52 states “Statements of licensing policy should set out the licensing
authority’s approach regarding licensed opening hours and the strategy it considers
appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in its area. The statement of licensing
policy should emphasise the consideration which will be given to the individual merits of an
application. The Government recognises that licensed premises make an important
contribution to our local communities, and has given councils a range of tools to effecti vely
manage the different pressures that licensed premises can bring. In determining appropriate
strategies around licensed opening hours, licensing authorities cannot seek to restrict the
activities of licensed premises where it is not appropriate for the promotion of the licensing
objectives to do so”.
8.6 The Need for Licensed Premises
Paragraph 14.19 states “There can be confusion about the difference between the “need”
for premises and the “cumulative impact” of premises on the licensing objectives, for example,
on crime and disorder. “Need” concerns the commercial demand for another pub or
restaurant or hotel and is a matter for the planning authority and for the market. This is not a
matter for a licensing authority in discharging its licensing fun ctions or for its statement of
licensing policy”.
9.0 RELEVANT SECTIONS OF HILLINGDON’S LICENSING POLICY
9.1 Licensing Objectives – The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
Paragraph 10.1 states “Licensed premises, especially those offering late night/early morning
entertainment, alcohol and refreshment, can be a source of crime and disorder. The Licensing
Authority will expect operating schedules to satisfactorily address these issues from the
design of the premises through to the daily operation of the business. Applicants are
recommended to seek advice from the Police Licensing Officer and Licensing Authority
Officers prior to making any application as early advice can alleviate representations being
made once an application is submitted. Full c ontact details for both are contained within the
Responsible Authorities contact in appendix B”.
Paragraph 10.3 states “Where a number of premises may be in close proximity it may be
difficult to attribute the disorder to patrons of particular premises, however there is a duty on
Premises Licence Holders or Club Management Committees to act responsibly to ensure
their own customers do not contribute to crime and disorder whilst in their premises and in
the vicinity of their premises”.
Paragraph 10.6 states “Applications referred to the Licensing Sub-Committee where relevant
representations have been received will be determined on the individual merit of each case.
Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
The Licensing Sub-Committee has the power to impose specific conditions when considered
appropriate in respect of the Crime and Disorder objective”.
9.2 Licensing Objectives – The Prevention of Public Nuisance
Paragraph 12.1 states “Licensing Sub Committees will be mindful that licensed premises,
especially those operating late at night and in the early hours of the morning, can cause a
range of nuisances impacting on people living, working or sleeping in the vicinity of the
premises. When addressing public nuisance the applicant should identify any particular
issues that are likely to affect adversely the promotion of the licensing objective to prevent
public nuisance. They should then include in the operating schedule how the y will deal with
those matters. The concerns mainly relate to noise nuisance from within the premises or from
the use of any outside areas, light pollution, smoke and noxious smells. This may also include
patrons outside a premises and the dispersal of cus tomers. Due regard will be given to the
impact these may have and the Licensing Authority will expect operating schedules to
satisfactorily address these issues.”
Paragraph 12.7 states “Applications referred to the Licensing Sub -Committee will be
determined on the individual merit of each case. The Licensing Sub -Committee have the
power to impose specific conditions when considered necessary in respect of the Prevention
of Public Nuisance objective”.
9.3 Licensing Hours
Paragraph 25.1 states “Prior to the introduction of the Licensing Act 2003, it was believed
that fixed and artificially early closing times (established under the Licensing Act 1964) were
one of the key causes of rapid binge drinking prior to closing times and one of the causes of
disorder and disturbance when large number of customers were required to leave the
premises simultaneously”.
Paragraph 25.2 states “The aim through promotion of the licensing objectives should be to
reduce the potential for concentrations and achieve a slower dispersal of people from
licensed premises through flexible opening times”.
Paragraph 25.3 states “Arbitrary restrictions that would undermine the principle of flexibility
will therefore be avoided. The four licensing objectives will be paramount at all times and the
Council will always consider the individual merits of each case”.
Paragraph 25.4 states “In accordance with guidance there is no fixed restriction on terminal
hours for any particular areas of the borough. Such a restriction could cause the migration of
patrons from one area to another and create the circumstances that the legislation is
attempting to avoid. Each application will be dealt with on its merits. It is for the applicants to
detail in their Operating Schedule exactl y what times they intend to open and close the
premises and what measures they will take to ensure that they do not cause nuisance or
disturbance to their neighbours in the vicinity. The later the terminal hour applied for, the
greater will be the need to address the issues of disturbance and nuisance”.
Paragraph 25.5 states “Shops, stores and supermarkets licensed to sell alcohol will normally
be allowed to do so for the full duration of their trading hours. Restrictions may be applied,
for example where representations are made indicating the particular premises or patrons of
the premises are linked to disorder and or disturbance”.
Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
9.5 Licence Conditions
Paragraph 20.1 states “Conditions on premises licences and club certificates are determined
by:
The measures put forward on the Operating Schedule
Mandatory conditions within the Act (current list included as Appendix G)
Measures decided at a hearing by the Licensing Sub Committee”
Paragraph 20.2 states “Conditions attached to licences by the Licensing Authority that have
been proposed by the applicant in their operating schedule should be consistent with the
steps set out in the operating schedule. This means that the effect of these conditions should
be substantially the same as that intended by the terms of the operating schedule”.
Paragraph 20.3 states “ Any conditions attached to licences following relevant
representations will focus on matters within the control of the Premises Licence Holder or
Club Management Committees. They will addres s matters which have a direct impact on
those living, working or engaged in normal activities in the vicinity, as well as patrons of the
licensed premises.
They will not be used as a means of attempting to attach responsibility to Premises Licence
Holders or Club Management Committees for matters outside their reasonable control, such
as anti -social behaviour once away from the premises or licensable activity. Conditions
imposed by the Licensing Authority shall be appropriate, reasonable, and proportionate and
should be determined on a case-by-case basis”.
Paragraph 20.4 states “The Licensing Authority will not impose standard conditions upon
every licence issued, however it may have regard to model conditions produced by the
Government and/or the Institu te of Licensing and it may choose to impose these in
appropriate circumstances”.
10.0 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
10.1 When considering an application for a grant of a new Premises Licence, the Sub-Committee
shall carry out its functions with a view to taking steps it considers appropriate for promoting
the licensing objectives. The licensing objectives are:
Prevention of crime and disorder
Public Safety
Prevention of public nuisance
Protection of children from harm
10.2 Members should note that each objective is of equal importance. There are no other licensing
objectives and the four objectives are paramount considerations at all times.
10.3 An application for a new premises licence may be made pursuant to s.16 and s.17 of the Act,
and with regard to the Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises certificates)
Regulations 2005/42 and the Licensing Act 2003 (Fees) Regulations 2005/79.
10.4 The Sub-Committee must ensure that all licensing decisions:
Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
Have a direct relationship to the promotion of one or more of the four licensing
objectives
Have regard to the Council's statement of licensing policy
Have regard to the Secretary of State guidance
Must not be subject to a blanket policy to the extent that it is applied so rigidly that an
exercise of discretion in each individual case is precluded
10.5 Where relevant representations are made, the licensing authority must hold a hearing to
determine the application, unless all are agreed that such a hearing is unnecessary under
s.18(3)(a) Licensing Act 2003.
10.6 Relevant representations are those that relate to the effect of the granting of the application
on the promotion of the licensing objectives made by an interested party or responsible
authority that have not been withdrawn and are not, in the opinion of the relevant licensing
authority, frivolous or vexatious under s.18(7) Licensing Act 2003.
10.7 The Sub-Committee can only consider matters within the application that have been raised
through representations from interested parties and responsible authorities. All applications
will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
10.8 Following a hearing, the Sub -Committee must consider all relevant representations, and
having taken into account the promotion of the licensing objectives, under s.18(3(b) and (4)
Licensing Act 2003, a decision can be taken:-
i. To grant the licence, subject to the mandatory conditions a nd conditions consistent
with the operating schedule;
ii. To impose additional relevant conditions to such an extent as is considered
appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives;
iii. To exclude any of the licensable activities to which the application relates;
iv. To amend the times for all or some of the licensable activities;
v. To refuse to specify a person in the licence as the premises supervisor;
vi. To reject the application.
10.9 Conditions will not be necessary if they duplicate a current statutory requirem ent. The
licensing authority may therefore only impose such conditions that are necessary to promote
the licensing objectives arising out of the consideration of the representations.
10.10 If the Sub -Committee determines that it is necessary to modify the cond itions, or to refuse
the application for a Premises Licence application, it must give reasons for its decision.
10.11 The Council in its capacity as licensing authority has a duty to have regard to its public sector
equality duty under s.149 of the Equality Act 2010. In summary s.149 provides that a Public
Authority must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to:
i. Eliminate discrimination harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is
prohibited by or under this Act;
ii. Advance e quality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected
characteristic and persons who do not share it; and
iii. Foster good relations between persons who share relevant protected characteristics
and persons who do not.
10.12 Section 149(7) of the Equality Act 2010 defines nine relevant protected characteristics these
are:
Licensing Sub-Committee – 21 October 2024
Part I – Public
i. age
ii. gender reassignment
iii. being married or in a civil partnership
iv. being pregnant or on maternity leave
v. disability
vi. race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin
vii. religion or belief
viii. sex
ix. sexual orientation
10.13 Officers have provided the Sub-Committee with recommendations related to this application.
Subject to the above -mentioned factors having been properly considered, the Sub -
Committee may depart from the recommendations if t here are good reasons for doing so.
The Sub-Committee is advised that such departures could give rise to an appeal or judicial
review.
10.14 Interested parties, Responsible Authorities and the Applicant have the right to appeal the
decision of the Licensing Sub-Committee to the Magistrates’ Court within a period of 21 days
beginning with the day on which the applicant was notified by the licensing authority of the
decision to be appealed against.
