At the request of Democratic Services, a nomination for Chair was moved and seconded. It was agreed that Councillor Darran Davies would chair the meeting. INTRODUCTION Daniel Ferrer, Licensing Team Manager, presented the application which sought approval for the granting of a new Premises Licence in respect of H & H News & Wine, 6-10 High Street, Harefield UB9 6BU. It was noted that the Application Form and Plan were appended as Appendix 1 to the report. The application had attracted two representations both from local businesses – Costcutter and Harefield Wine. Members heard that here had been no representations received from Ward Councillors or from any of the Responsible Authorities. In response to questio ns from Members, it was confirmed that no representations had been received from the responsible authorities including ASBET and the Police. APPLICANT The applicants, Mr and Mrs Mehta, were in attendance and were represented by Charles Merrett Counsel. Members were informed that the applicants were already successfully running two premises; one in Rickmansworth which had been in operation for nine years and one in St Albans which had been in operation for one year. It was confirmed that no complaints had been received in respect of either of these businesses which were both licensed to sell alcohol for consumption off site. The Sub -Committee heard that, were the licence to be granted, the premises in question would operate as a SPAR shop. An amended pla n had been submitted. CCTV would be in operation at the premises both internally and externally. It was confirmed that four staff members would be employed – two on a part -time basis and two on a full -time basis. Two staff members were personal licence hol ders. A number of conditions had been proposed as set out in paragraph 2.6 of the officer’s report. The applicant’s representative noted that no Members’ Enquiries had been submitted, or complaints raised by responsible authorities in respect of the appl ication. Members were advised that the applicants had an excellent track record. It was noted that the representations received had been submitted by other businesses in the area and Members heard that all the concerns raised would be addressed by way of t he conditions proposed in the application. In response to their requests for clarification, the Sub -Committee was informed that the alcohol counter would be located at a considerable distance from the entrance and exit to prevent theft. Two or three staff members would also be present at all times to act as a deterrent. Members sought further clarification regarding engagement with local residents. It was confirmed that the applicants had lived and w orked in the area for some 20 years hence were well acquainted with the local community. In response to further questions from Members in respect of the avoidance of crime and disorder, the Sub-Committee heard that 16-18 CCTV cameras would be in place at the premises. A minimum of two staff would be employe d at any one time for security purposes and a Licence Holder would always be on site. The premises was situated on a busy road but no additional noise nuisance emanating from the premises was envisaged. INTERESTED PARTIES An interested party, Ms Harle en Kaur, was in attendance and addressed the Sub - Committee Members in objection to the application. Ms Kaur stated that the High Street was generally quiet after 20:00 -21:00 hours. With regard to the Prevention of Crime and Disorder, Ms Kaur ascertained th at there was already a considerable amount of crime in the area. It was reported that people sometimes became inebriated and attempted to steal from the local shops. An additional shop in the area selling a lcohol would exacerbate the situation and lead to an increase in antisocial behaviour. In respect of Public Safety, Ms Kaur expressed concern that some young people in the area drank too much and vaped which was bad for their health. Ms Kaur reported that she refused to serve those who were underage or were already inebriated but was concerned that the new premises would fail to do this. Ms Kaur advised Members that many local people did not want the proposed premises to open and had signed a petition which had not been accepted by the Council. In response to requests for clarification, Councillors were advised that the number of people who were refused alcohol would vary. It was confirmed that alcohol would never be sold to those who were underage or who were already inebriated. Ms Kaur expressed concern that H&H News and Wine would not uphold this standard and noted the presence of a school nearby to the premises. Members noted that hypothetic scenarios could not be taken into consideration when making a decision. DISCUSSION Charles Merrett Counsel noted that H&H News and Wine had included conditions in their application to confirm that they would not serve alcohol to anyone underage or inebriated. In respect of the petition referenced by the interested party, the Licensing Team Manager highlighted that two petitions had been submitted to the Licensing Team. The first had been rejected as it had failed to meet the requirements of the petition scheme. The second petition, which had been subsequently submitted by the same interested party, had also b een rejected on 28 January 2025 for similar reasons. No further petitions had been received. CLOSING REMARKS The Licensing Team Manager and the applicant had nothing further to add. The Interested Party requested the addition of further conditions were the application to be granted. Councillors emphasised the importance of adherence to the licensing objectives in order to uphold public safety and maintain law and order. It was suggested that it would be helpful for the local businesses to work together to safeguard the local community. COMMITTEE DELIBERATION All parties were asked to leave the room while the Sub -Committee considered its decision. The decision of the Sub -Committee was subsequently broadcast on the Council’s Youtube Channel: Hillingdon London. The Decision The Sub-Committee listened to all representations made both oral and written. In addition, the Sub -Committee welcomed the conditions offered by the Licensing Authority and agree d by the Applicant and their willingness to commit to the licensing objectives at all times. The Sub-Committee considered all relevant evidence made available to it and in doing so took the following into account: • Licensing Objectives, Licensing Act 2003 • Hillingdon's Licensing Policy • Guidance is sued by the Secretary of State under s.182 of the Licensing Act 2003 The decision of the Sub-Committee is to GRANT the application for the supply of alcohol for consumption off the premises Sunday to Monday between 0700 hours and 2300 hours. The operating hours of the business shall also be between 0700 hours and 2300 hours. The new premises licence will be subject to the conditions as set out in their application. REASONS The Sub -Committee recognise that this is a new application for a premises licence for the sale of alcohol off the premises ancillary to the business which is a convenience store selling a variety of goods. Apart from the representations from the two interested parties objecting to the application, the Sub -Committee note that there have been no further objections particularly from residents, Responsible Authorities nor members’ enquiries logged by councillors in respect of this application. The applicants in their submissions demonstrated sound experience and understanding of the licens ing objectives, noting that the applicants also currently run two other licenced premises without issue. The sub-committee also considered the representations made by the interested parties and noted the concerns raised by Ms Kaur in relation to the prev ention of crime in the area. Having listened to Ms Kaur’s representations regarding increased drinking, anti -social behaviour and underage sale of alcohol and vapes to children by other local licenced premises, the sub -committee were not persuaded that the se issues could be directly attributed to the applicant’s premises without tangible evidence and in absence of any representations from responsible authorities or members enquiries. Having considered all t he information put before it, the Sub -Committee we re satisfied on balance that the Applicant would comply with the licensing objectives. Right of Appeal The relevant applicant for the premises licence or any other person who made relevant representations to the application may appeal against the Council ’s decision to the Justices Clerk at the Uxbridge Magistrates Court. Such an appeal may be brought within 21 days of receipt of this Notice of Decision. No decision made by the Council will have effect du ring the time period within which an appeal may be brought and until such time that any appeal has been determined or abandoned. The Sub -Committee advises as a comfort to residents and a warning to the licensee that the licence may be reviewed and could potentially be revoked if licence conditions are no t adhered to and/or if the premises are managed in a manner which does not uphold the licensing objectives. You will be deemed to have received this decision letter, two days after the date on the accompanying letter, which will be posted by 1st class mail. The meeting, which commenced at 10.00 am, closed at 11.08 am. These are the minutes of the above meeting. For more information on any of the resolutions please contact Liz Penny on epenny@hillingdon.gov.uk. Circulation of these minutes is to Councillors, Officers, the Press and Members of the Public. The public part of this meeting was filmed live on the Council's YouTube Channel to increase transparency in decision -making; however, these minutes remain the official and definitive record of proceedings.

Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 26 February 2025 Part 1 - Public 4.0 REPRESENTATIONS 4.1 Licensing have received 2 representations both from local businesses: Interested Parties Ground for Representation Appendix Gurvinder Madan Costcutter, 24 High Street, Harefield UB9 6BU Prevention of Crime & Disorder Prevention of Public Nuisance, Protection of Children from Harm Appendix 2 Harleen Kaur Harefield Wine 18-20 High Street, Harefield UB9 6BU Prevention of Crime & Disorder Prevention of Public Nuisance, Protection of Children from Harm Appendix 3 4.2 No Members’ Enquiries have been received by the Licensing Service for this premises. No complaints have been received by the Licensing Service regarding this premises. There have been no representations received from any of the Responsible Authorities. 5.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 5.1 Designated Premises Supervisor The proposed Designated Premises Supervisor is Hesha Chirag Mehta (also a Director of the proposed licence holder company), who will be applying to the London Borough of Harrow for their Personal Licence. A Map of the area is attached as Appendix 3. 6.0 OFFICER'S OBSERVATIONS 6.1 The premises is currently trading as, ‘Home Logik’. It is a store that sells everyday household items. It is located next door to a fishing shop, ‘Harfield Tackle’ 2-4 High Street which is on the premises ’ right hand side and at the start/end of Harefield High Street. ‘The Village Bakery’ is on the premises’ right hand side. 6.2 The 2 representations received are both from local businesses which have premises licences that authorise off-sales of alcohol. Gurvinder Madan is the licence holder and DPS at Costcutter, 24 High Street. This is about 83 yards south from the proposed premises. Harleen Kaur is the premises licence holder and DPS at Harefield Wine, 18-20 High Street. This is about 72 yards south of the premises. 6.3 The King Arms Public House is close-by and is north of the premises about 25 yards away 6.4 There is a children’s playground about 73 yards away located north of the premises at Harefield Village Green. 6.5 Appendix 5(a)(b) and (c) are three photographs of the exterior of the premises. 7.0 RELEVANT SECTIONS OF S.182 GUIDANCE 7.1 Determining actions that are appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives At paragraph 9.42 it states that "Licensing authorities are best placed to determine what actions are appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in their areas. All licensing determinations should be Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 26 February 2025 Part 1 - Public 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". At paragraph 9.43 it states that "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". At paragraph 9.44 it states that "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 authority to decide that no lesser step will achieve the aim, the authority should aim to consider the potential burden that the condition would impose on the premises licence holder (s uch 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, the Revised Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 informs tha t 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 objectives 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". 7.2 Proportionality At paragraph 10.2 it 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 comply 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.” At paragraph 10.8 it states, “The licensing authority may not impose any conditions unless its discretion has been exercised following receipt of relevant representations and it is satisfied 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.” At paragraph 10.10 it states that "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 scanner s 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 a copy of any Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 26 February 2025 Part 1 - Public document checked as part of a right to work check is retained at the licensed premises. Licensing authorities and other responsible authorities should be alive 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". 7.3 Hours of Trading At paragraph 10.13 it states "The Go vernment 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 cond uct 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" At paragraph 10.15 Shops, stores and supermarkets should normally be free to provide sales of alcohol for consumption off the premises 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. 7.4 Licensing Hours At paragraph 14.51 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 regardi ng 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. At paragraph 14.52 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 effectively 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. 7.5 The Need for Licensed Premises At paragraph 14.19 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 hote l 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 functions or for its statement of licensing policy. 8.0 RELEVANT SECTIONS OF HILLINGDON’S LICENSING POLICY 8.1 Licensing Objectives – The Prevention of Crime and Disorder At paragraph 10.1 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 Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 26 February 2025 Part 1 - Public Authority Officers prior to making any application as early advice can alleviate representations b eing made once an application is submitted. Full contact details for both are contained within the Responsible Authorities contact in Appendix B of the Policy. At paragraph 10.3 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. At paragraph 10.6 Applications referred to the Licensing Sub -Committee where relevant representations have been received will be determined on the individual merit of each case. The Licensing Sub -Committee has the powe r to impose specific conditions when considered appropriate in respect of the Crime and Disorder objective. 8.2 Licensing Objectives – Public Safety At paragraph 11.5 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 Public Safety objective. 8.3 Licensing Objectives – The Prevention of Public Nuisance At paragraph 12.1 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 they will d eal 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 customers. Due regard will be given to the impact these may have and the Licensing Authority will expect operating schedules to satisfactorily address these issues. 8.4 Licensing Hours At paragraph 25.1 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. At paragraph 25.2 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. At paragraph 25.3 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. At paragraph 25.4 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 migratio n 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 exactly 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. At paragraph 25.5 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 Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 26 February 2025 Part 1 - Public are made indicating the particular premises or patrons of the premises are linked to disorder and or disturbance. 8.5 Licence Conditions At paragraph 20.1 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 At paragraph 20.2 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. At paragraph 20.3 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 address 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. At paragraph 20.4 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 Institute of Licensing and it may choose to impose these in appropriate circumstances. 9.0 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS 9.1 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 9.2 Members should note that each objective is of equal importance. There are no other licencing objectives, and the four objectives are paramount considerations at all times. 9.3 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. 9.4 The Sub-Committee must ensure that all licensing decisions:  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 Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 26 February 2025 Part 1 - Public 9.5 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 s.18(3)(a) Licencing Act 2003. 9.6 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 licencing authority, frivolous or vexatious s.18(7) Licensing Act 2003. 9.7 The Sub-Committee can only consider matters within the application that have been raised through representations from interested parties and responsible authorities. Interested parties must live within the vicinity of the premises. All applications will be decided on a case-by-case basis. 9.8 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 and conditions consistent with the operating schedule; ii. To impose additional relevant conditions to such an extent as is considered necessary 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. 9.9 Conditions will not be necessary if they duplicate a current statutory requirement. The licencing Authority may therefore only impose such conditions that are necessary to promote the licensing objectives arising out of the consideration of the representations. 9.10 If the Sub -Committee determines that it is necessary to modify the conditions, or to refuse the application for a Premises Licence application, it must give reasons for its decision. 9.11 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, vic timisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act; ii. Advance equality 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 rel evant protected characteristics and persons who do not. 9.12 Section 149(7) of the Equality Act 2010 defines nine relevant protected characteristics these are: 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 Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 26 February 2025 Part 1 - Public 9.13 Officers have provided the Sub-Committee with recommendations related to this application. Subject to the above -mentioned factors hav ing been properly considered, the Sub -Committee may depart from the recommendations if there are good reasons for doing so. The Sub-Committee is advised that such departures could give rise to an appeal or judicial review. 9.14 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 t o be appealed against.

If the document is not a passport, a copy of the whole document should be provided. Your right to work will be checked as part of your licensing application and this could involve us checking your immigration status with the Home Office. We may otherwise share information with the Home Office. Your licence application will not be determined until you have complied with this guidance. Home Office online right to work checking service As an alternative to providing a copy of the documents listed above, applicants may demonstrate their right to work by allowing the licensing authority to carry out a check with the Home Office online right to work checking service. To demonstrate their right to work via the Home Office online right to work checking service, applicants should include in this application their 9-digit share code (provided to them upon accessing the service at https://www.gov.uk/prove-right- to-work) which, along with the applicant's date of birth (provided within this application), will allow the licensing authority to carry out the check. In order to establish the applicant's right to work, the check will need to indicate that the applicant is allowed to work in the United Kingdom and is not subject to a condition preventing them from doing work relating to the carrying on of a licensable activity. An online check will not be possible in all circumstances because not all applicants will have an immigration status that can be checked online. The Home Office online right to work checking service sets out what information and/or documentation applicants will need in order to access the service. Applicants who are unable to obtain a share code from the service should submit copy documents as set out above.

Representation Form from Interested Parties (Please read notes on reverse before completing) Your details (See notes 2 & 3); Your Name Harleen Kaur Your email address Your phone number The name of the body or organisation you represent 18 High Street, Harefield, UB96BU A bout the premises; Name of the premises you are making a representation about H & H NEWS & WINE LTD Address of the premises you are making a representation about 6-10 HIGH STREET, HAREFIELD, UB96BU T he Licensing Objectives (See note 4); Licensing Objective Reasons for your representation and any supporting evidence Please tick;  Prevention of Crime/Disorder  Prevention of Public Nuisance  Protection of Children From Harm  Public Safety I would like to appeal against this license as there are many children using vapes and drinking alcohol around the area which damages the society and the upcoming generations and their habits. Recently another license was issued and Ive seen many young people walk out of there with alcohol which is already bad enough for our area so there isn’t need for another one to be added. Another reason why I am appealing against this license is that it would increase the amount of people being able to get alcohol and that would increase crime in the area as some people don’t understand what they are doing after they drink and end up causing harm to others. The younger generations would also get influenced from looking at more people drinking to thinking that it is cool and try it themselves causing addiction and damage to more people. T he outcome you are seeking from the Licensing Authority (See note 6); Rejection of license or potentially license being given with many restrictions.
