RESOLVED:

That the application made by MM Factory (EP) Limited for a premises licence to be granted under Section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003 in respect of the premises known as MM Factory, 1 Walworth Square, London, SE17 1GA be granted as follows:

Conditions

The operation of the premises under the licence shall be subject to relevant mandatory conditions, conditions derived from the operation schedule highlighted in Section M of the application form and the conditions agreed with the Metropolitan Police Service, licensing authority and trading standards during the conciliation process.

Reasons

The reasons for the decision are as follows:

The sub-committee heard representations from the applicants and considered a representation from a member of the public. 

The sub-committee were mindful of the representation from the local resident but felt that their concerns and the relevant licensing objectives were sufficiently allayed by the conditions agreed between the responsible authorities and the applicant. The application was therefore granted as requested following conciliated terms from the responsible authorises.

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.

Appeal rights

The applicant may appeal against any decision:

a)  To impose conditions on the licence

b)  To exclude a licensable activity or refuse to specify a person as premises supervisor.

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

a)  The  licence ought not to be been granted; or

b)  That on granting the licence, the licensing authority ought to have imposed different or additional conditions to 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.
