RESOLVED:

That the application by Megamusic Entertainment  Limited for a variation of  premises licence in respect of the premises known as Club Traffik, (Ground Floor) 512-516 Old Kent Road, SE1  be granted.

The following licensable activities will be permitted under the licence during the times shown.

Conditions

The operation of the premises under the licence shall be subject to compliance with the operation schedule highlighted in Section Q of the application form and the following conditions:-

All mandatory conditions set out in the Licensing Act 2003 relating to

a)  Authorisation of the retail sale of alcohol; and

b)  The provision of door supervision.

Reasons

The reasons for this decision are as follows:

As the premises already holds a music license until 6am on a Friday and a Saturday the licensing sub-committee do not consider that extending the license for sale of alcohol, by one hour, to 5am will have an adverse impact on the licensing objectives.

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

• That variation ought not to have been made; or

May appeal against the decision

3.  Any appeal must be made to the magistrate court for the petty sessions area in which the premises are situated. Any appeal must be commenced by notice of appeal given by the appellant to the justices’ chief executive 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.
