RESOLVED:

That the application for three temporary event notices on 20 March 2010, 2 April 2010 and 4 April 2010 by Mr Olarenwaju Jimoh  for The Oriwu Spot, 44 Wanley Road, SE5 8AT be granted (no counter notice) and the application for a temporary event notice on 3 April 2010 be refused as this does not meet the statutory requirements as per the Licensing Act. 

Reasons for the decision.

The licensing sub-committee have considered the objection notice submitted by the metropolitan police licensing service on the temporary event notices on the above dates, under section 100 of the Licensing Act 2003 and as the police failed to produce sufficient evidence to show that the granting of a Temporary Event Notice on the above dates would have an adverse effect on the prevention of crime and disorder, the sub-committee have allowed the events on 20 March 2010, 2 April 2010 and 4 April 2010 to go ahead.

Appeal Rights.

Where the relevant licensing authority gives a counter notice under section 105(3), the premises user may appeal against that decision.  An appeal under this paragraph 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.

But no appeal may be brought later than five working days before the day on which the event period specified in the temporary event notice begins.

The meeting closed at 4.20pm.
