2.  That no food orders shall be accepted after 02:00 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

3.  That no food orders shall be accepted after 01:00 on Sunday.

Reasons

The licensing sub-committee heard from the applicant’s representative Shiraz Kamawal (manager) who had written permission to speak on behalf of Mr Rozikhel.  He confirmed that the applicant sought the additional hours to be able to prepare and finalise orders received just before their current closing time. 

It was explained to the sub-committee that the premises would be closed during the additional hours and that only deliveries would be made.  Drivers would remain inside the premises to reduce any noise. 

The sub-committee heard representations from Licensing as a responsible authority, who stated that their objections to the original application had changed due to the reduction in hours requested, and that there was only to be deliveries during the extended hours.

The police and environmental protection team withdrew their representations and there were no representations from other persons.

In reaching this decision the sub-committee had regard to all the relevant considerations and the four licensing objectives and considered that this decision was appropriate and proportionate.

Any person who made relevant representations in relation to the application who desire to contend that:

a)  That variation ought not to have been made; or

b)  That, when varying the licence, the licensing authority ought not to have modified the conditions of the licence, or ought to have modified them in a different way

may appeal against the decision.

Any appeal must be made to the Magistrates’ Court for the area in which the premises are situated. Any appeal must be commenced by notice of appeal given by the appellant to the justices’ clerk for the Magistrates’ Court within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the appellant was notified by the licensing authority of the decision appealed against.
