LICENSING ACT 2003 REPORT FOR PUBLIC HEARING 7 TH JULY 2005 The Orange Tree, 7 Totteridge Village, London, N20 8NX The Licensing Act 2003 - Objectives The Act provides in section 4 that it is the duty of all licensing authorities to carry out their functions under the Act with a view to promoting the licensing objectives. The Licensing objectives are: the prevention of crime and disorder; public safety; the prevention of public nuisance; and the protection of children from harm. The Council s Licensing Policy Policy Objectives 2.1 The Council recognises that licensed venues can make Barnet more attractive, provide employment and are valued by residents and visitors to the Borough. We want businesses to thrive, and fully support the provision of recreational and cultural activities that everyone can enjoy. Our Community Plan includes a commitment to encourage a regulated evening economy in suitable locations (for example in connection with the Arts depot in North Finchley), but we are mindful of the tensions that such activities may generate. They can sometimes cause nuisance or safety risks, harm children or increase the risk of crime and disorder. We will therefore seek to balance competing interests, so that problem businesses are controlled, while those that will not cause significant risk to the licensing objectives are not subject to unnecessary restrictions. 2.2 We will take account of any relevant representations on the issue of a licence or applications for review of a licence. However, we will not attempt to prevent or restrict any licensable activity by withholding a licence, imposing conditions or revoking a licence unless it is clearly justified by the risk to the licensing objectives in the specific individual circumstances of each case. 2.3 The overriding intention of this Policy is that the Council will deal with each application on its merits.
General Extracts from The Guidance issued by the Secretary of State under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 Among other things, section 4 of the 2003 Act provides that in carrying out its function a licensing authority must have regards to guidance issued by the Secretary of State under section 182. The requirement is therefore binding on all licensing authorities to that extent. However, it is recognised that the Guidance cannot anticipate every possible scenario or set of circumstances that may arise and so long as the Guidance had been properly and carefully understood and considered, licensing authorities may depart from it if they have reason to do so. When doing so, licensing authorities will need to give full reasons for their actions. Departure from the Guidance could give rise to an appeal or judicial review, and the reasons given will then be a key consideration for the courts when considering the lawfulness and merits of any decision taken. Section 4 further requires that licensing authorities must have regard to their own licensing statement of policy published under section 5. A licensing Authority may depart from its own policy if the individual circumstances of any case merit such a decision in the interests of the promotion of the licensing objectives. But once again, it is important that they should give full reasons for departing from their published statement of licensing policy. The Application Blake Lapthorn Linnell Solicitors on behalf of the Applicants Mitchells and Butler Leisure Retail Limited. The Premises The Orange Tree Public House, 7 Totteridge Village, London, N20 8NX. This building is positioned next to St Andrew s Church School in the middle of Totteridge Village. There is seating outside of the public house situated between it and the road. A map centrally locating the premises and a plan of the building will be available at the hearing.
Summary of the Application This is an application made in 2 parts, to convert the existing licence and then to vary that converted licence. Relevant Representations have been received regarding the variation, necessitating this hearing. The only Responsible Authority from whom the Licensing Authority can accept a representation with regard to an application to convert a licence under the transitional provisions section of the Act is the Metropolitan Police Service. In this case, there has been no Police representation made to the conversion application, therefore the conversion must be granted in accordance with legislation, before the Committee determine the application to vary the licence. The Variation Application. The nature of the variation is briefly described by the applicant as follows: To vary the hours for the sale of alcohol, hot drink and/or food and to permit the regulated entertainment indicated (films) to operate Monday-Sunday 10:00-00:00 and for the hours noted on notable days and certain international events. To remove any restrictions placed on the licence by virtue of Schedule 8, 6(8) of the Licensing Act 2003. (The effect of this is that any new licence granted by the council must also be granted subject to conditions which reproduce the effect of any restriction imposed on the use of the premises for the existing licensable activities under the relevant existing licence or licences by any enactment specified for the purpose of this part) Parts of the Variation Application for which relevant representations have been received The Responsible Authorities, The Fire Brigade, Planning Department, Health & Safety Team, Safeguarding Children s Board, Noise Nuisance and Trading Standards have not made any representations. Although the Metropolitan Police Service has made a representation. It is expected that the applicant will be amending the application prior to the hearing. The likely amendments concern the hours at which the premises are open to the Public and the hours during which alcohol is sold on certain days throughout the year. Relevant Representations have been made by interested parties living in the local community.
Officers Comment concerning the contested variation with Extracts from the Guidance and the Councils Statement of Licensing Policy I refer to the extracts from the guidance and the Council s policy below regarding the extension of licensing hours (to include the providing of amplified. The guidance to the Act states Conditions relating to the prevention of public nuisance; It should be noted that provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Noise Act 1996 provide some protection to the general public from the effects of noise nuisance. In addition, the provisions in Part 8 of the Licensing Act 2003 enable a senior police officer to close down instantly for up to 24 hours licensed premises and premises carrying on temporary permitted activities that are causing nuisance resulting from noise emanating from the premises. These matters should be considered before deciding whether or not conditions are necessary for the prevention of public nuisance. General When applicants for premises licences or club premises certificates are preparing their operating schedules or club operating schedules, responsible authorities are considering such applications and licensing authorities are considering applications following the receipt of relevant representations from a responsible authority or interested party, the following options should be considered as measures that, if necessary, would promote the prevention of public nuisance. Whether or not any risk assessment shows them to be necessary in the individual circumstances of any premises will depend on a range of factors including the nature and style of the venue, the activities being conducted there, the location of the premises and the anticipated clientele of the business involved. Necessary conditions for licences and certificates will also depend on local knowledge of the premises. Hours The hours during which the premises are permitted to be open to the public or to members and their guests can be restricted (other than where they are protected by the transitional provisions of the Licensing Act 2003) by the conditions of a premises licence or a club premises certificate for the prevention of public nuisance. But this must be balanced by the potential impact on disorder which results from artificially early fixed closing times. Restrictions could be necessary on the times when certain licensable activities take place even though the premises may be open to the public at such times. For example, the playing of recorded music after a certain time might be prohibited, even though other licensable activities are permitted to continue. Restrictions might be necessary on the parts of premises that might be used for certain licensable activities at certain times. For example, while the provision of regulated entertainment might be permitted while the premises are open to the public or members and their guests, regulated entertainment might not be permitted in garden areas of the premises after a certain time.
Noise and vibration In certain premises where existing legislation does not provide adequately for the prevention of public nuisance, consideration might be given to conditions that ensure that: noise or vibration does not emanate from the premises so as to cause a nuisance to nearby properties. This might be achieved by a simple requirement to keep doors and windows at the premises closed, or to use noise limiters on amplification equipment used at the premises; prominent, clear and legible notices are displayed at all exits requesting the public to respect the needs of local residents and to leave the premises and the area quietly; the use of explosives, pyrotechnics and fireworks of a similar nature which could cause disturbance in surrounding areas are restricted; and the placing of refuse such as bottles. into receptacles outside the premises takes place at times that will minimise the disturbance to nearby properties. Councils Licensing Policy on Prevention of Nuisance 10.1 We use the term nuisance with its everyday meaning, to include, for example, excessive noise (whether generated within the licensed premises, or in the vicinity by people arriving or leaving, queuing or spilling out of the premises), vibration, accumulated refuse, litter or lack of cleanliness outside licensed premises, problem advertising and leaflet distribution, obstruction of rights of way and smell or light pollution. 10.2 If a relevant representation is made, the Council may attach conditions to a licence to prevent nuisance. 10.3 We encourage licence applications to give careful consideration to the likely environmental effect of their proposed activities, and to take steps to minimise any adverse impact, for example by providing noise insulation where appropriate, adequate refuse disposal arrangements and anti-litter measures. Further Concerns There are also concerns about increased public activity in the area generating nuisance but this would be difficult to control by imposing licence conditions particularly in public areas. These concerns are not in the direct control of the licensee. However, the guidance to the Act states the following 7.23 The essential purpose of the licence or certificate in this context is to regulate behaviour on premises and access to them where this relates to licensable activities and the licensing objectives. As has been said above, conditions attached to licences cannot seek to manage the behaviour of customers once they are beyond the direct management of the licence holder and his staff or agents, but can directly
impact on the behaviour of those under the licensee s direction when on his premises or in the immediate vicinity of the premises as they seek entry or leave. 6.5 The Government strongly believes that fixed and artificially early closing times promote, in the case of the sale or supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises, rapid binge drinking close to closing times; and are a key cause of disorder and disturbance when large numbers of customers are required to leave premises simultaneously. This creates excessive pressures at places where fast food is sold or public or private transport is provided. This in turn produces friction and gives rise to disorder and peaks of noise and other nuisance behaviour. It is therefore important that licensing authorities recognise these problems when addressing issues such as the hours at which premises should be used to carry on the provision of licensable activities to the public. 6.6 The aim through the promotion of the licensing objectives should be to reduce the potential for concentrations and achieve a slower dispersal of people from licensed premises through longer opening times. Arbitrary restrictions that would undermine the principle of flexibility should therefore be avoided. We will monitor the impact of the 2003 Act on crime and disorder and the other licensing objectives. If necessary in the light of these findings, we will introduce further legislation with the consent of Parliament to strengthen or alter any provisions. 6.10 Licensing authorities should also not seek to engineer staggered closing times by setting quotas for particular closing times, for example, by allocating closing times of 11.00pm, 12 midnight, 1.00am, 2.00am, 3.00am etc. to specific premises. In the Government s view, this would only serve to replace the current peaks of disorder and disturbance after 11.00pm and after 2.00am with a series of smaller peaks, minimising any potential improvement in the prevention of crime and disorder or public nuisance and would not be necessary to promote the licensing objectives. The general principle should be to support later opening so that customers leave for natural reasons slowly over a longer period. This prevents any artificial concentrations. At present, permitted hours for ordinary public houses are set at times that research evidence suggests are artificially early, causing a high proportion of customers to remain until the fixed closing time. The benefit of later closing times, even if many are similar, is that customers will leave for a variety of reasons at a variety of times. For example, if all the public houses in a single street could open until 3.00am, this would allow customers a far longer period than now to leave and disperse from that area. Relaxation of opening hours for local, national and international occasions 6.11 It should normally be possible for applicants for premises licences and club premises certificates to anticipate special occasions which occur regularly each year such as bank holidays and to incorporate appropriate opening hours for these occasions in their operating schedules. Similarly, temporary event notices. in respect of which a personal licence holder may give fifty each year. should be sufficient to cover events like Golden Wedding Anniversaries or 21st Birthday parties which take place at premises which do not have a premises licence or club premises certificate. However, with the passage of time exceptional events of local, national or international significance will arise which could not or have not been anticipated. Such events can give rise to the need to vary the conditions of large numbers of
premises licences and club premises certificates. In such circumstances, it will be open to the Secretary of State to make a licensing hours order to provide for premises with a premises licence or club premises certificate to open for specified, generally extended, hours on these special occasions. Examples might include a one-off local festival, a Royal Jubilee, a World Cup or an Olympic Games. Council s Licensing Policy Licensing hours 6.1 Before the introduction of the Licensing Act 2003, there were permitted hours for the sale of alcohol. The Council recognises that longer licensing hours for the sale of alcohol are important to avoid concentrations of customers leaving premises simultaneously, and that this can reduce the risk of nuisance and crime and disorder. For example, it can reduce friction at fast food outlets and transport queues. 6.2 We will consider any application regarding licensing hours on its merits, and this policy makes no presumption about closing times. In determining applications, we will be mindful that although nuisance can arise at any time, it may be possible for licensed premises to operate at any time of the day or night without adverse effect. If the applicant s operating schedule has adequately addressed the licensing objectives there may be no justification for restricting opening hours. If representations are made, appropriate licence conditions may be applied, and these may be stricter if the application is for later hours. 6.3 The Council will not establish zones within which we set fixed trading hours that may be different to those set elsewhere, as this could lead to problems when customers move from one zone to another. However, we will always take due account of local circumstances and stricter conditions may be applied where there is denser residential occupation. Parts of the Variation Application for which no relevant representations have been received No relevant representations from Responsible Authorities or Interested Parties have been received for the remainder of the application being the provision of late night refreshment.
Attaching Conditions to Premises Licences The Committee is asked to note that it may not attach conditions or reject the whole or part of the application merely because it considers it desirable to do so. It must actually be necessary in order to promote the licensing objectives. In relation to conditions, the statutory guidance at chapter 7.5 states amongst other things that The Licensing Authority may not therefore impose any conditions unless its discretion has been engaged following the making of relevant representations and it has been satisfied at a hearing of the necessity to impose conditions due to the representation raised. It may then only impose such conditions as are necessary to promote the licensing objectives arising out of the consideration of the representations. Determination of the Application Of course, the Committee must also have regard to all of the representations made and the evidence it hears. The Committee must then take one of the following steps as it considers necessary for the promotion of the licensing objectives: a) Grant the application to vary the Premises licence either in whole or in part and with or without conditions. b) Reject the application to vary the Premises Licence either in whole or in part. The determination of this application must take place at the conclusion of the hearing (Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005 Regulation 26(1) (a). Copies of the Councils statement of Licensing Policy, Statutory Guidance to the Act and the Councils Guide to Good Practice at Licensed Premises will be available at the Licensing Sub Committee hearing.
