At 10.35am the sub-committee went into closed session to consider the review application. At 10.58am the sub-committee came out of closed session and made the following decision.

RESOLVED:

That the application by Moyo Ma Ltd for a grant of a premises licence in respect of the premises known as Moyo Ma, Ground floor and Basement 347 Walworth Road, London SE17  be approved in so far as:

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

2. 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:

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

(i)  Authorisation of the retail sale of alcohol; and

(ii)  The provision of door supervision

b)  The following additional special conditions developed through discussion from the original operating schedule attached to the application as follows:

That recorded music will only be played at a level that does not exceed background level within the ground floor.

The reasons for this decision are as follows.

In view of the fact that there are residential flats in the immediate vicinity of the premises, in order to prevent public nuisance, the sub-committee considers it necessary to limit the hours for late night refreshments to 2am on Friday and Saturday. 

The Council expects that all terms, conditions and restriction of the premises licence will be complied with at all times that the premises are used under the licence. The failure to comply with terms, conditions and restrictions of the premises of the premises licence is a matter to which the Licensing Sub-Committee may have regard in the event that any request is made for the review of the licence.

Appeal Rights

1. The applicant may appeal against any decision to modify the conditions of the licence; and

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

a)  That  the grant ought not to have been made; or

b)  That, when granting 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.

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.

The meeting closed at 11.00am.
