The Licensing Sub-Committee considered the application for a review of the premises licence at Shisha Oui, 20 High Street, Purley and the representations received from the police as applicant contained in the report of the Executive Director ‘Place'.
The Sub-Committee also considered the verbal representations made at the hearing by the police and the premises licence holder and his representative.
The Sub-Committee considered whether taking any of the following steps were necessary to promote the four licensing objectives:
• To modify the conditions of the licence
• To exclude a licensable activity from the scope of the licence
• To remove the designated premises supervisor
• To suspend the licence for a period not exceeding 3 months
• To revoke the licence
The Sub-Committee having regard to the four licensing objectives of the Licensing Act 2003, in particular the prevention of Crime and Disorder objective and the Council's Licensing Policy RESOLVED to deal with the application for review of the premises license by suspending the premises licence for three months and to remove the Designated Premises Supervisor, Mr Alafany Ahmed. The Sub-Committee also RESOLVED to modify the conditions on the premises licence by including conditions 1-13 suggested by the Premises License Holder. The Premises Licence Holder shall liaise with the Police and responsible authorities to ensure conditions 1-13 being attached to the Premises Licence are appropriately implemented.
The Sub-Committee further RESOLVED to extend the Interim Steps suspension granted on 15 October 2015 for 21 days commencing from today.
The Licensing Sub-Committee has arrived at this decision in order to promote the 4 licensing objectives, particularly the prevention of crime and disorder, and public safety.
