It is the intention of the applicant to prove himself as a good operator in the eyes of both the statutory authorities and local community before applying for extended hours. Amended terminal hours are as follows: Sun – Thu Licensable activities Midnight (premises closes 00.30 hours) Fri – Sat Licensable activities 01.00 hours (premises closes 01.30 hours) Xmas Eve Licensable activities 02.00 hours (premises closes 02.30 hours) New Years Eve As per the application I would like the terminal hour for late night refreshment to run until the premises closes in order for there to be the facility to serve coffee etc. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 May 2007 12:10 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Platinum Lounge Dear Mr Watson, I am in receipt of your application for a new premises licence and have returned your telephone call, leaving a message on the answer phone. Prior to this application I visited the proposed site and spoke with Mr Martin and his partner. I was led to believe that the terminal hours requested for licensable activity would be: Sun - Thu Midnight Fri - Sat 1am Xmas Eve 1am or 2am New Years Eve As per the application As you will no doubt appreciate this is the busiest area in Barnet Borough with the highest proportion and concentration of licensed premises in the area. As such it returns the highest level of alcohol related crime and anti social behaviour. If the hours are granted as per the application the premises will then have the latest licence in Tally Ho (North Finchley). This is a new business venture with no previous track record and I have serious reservations that these extended hours will add to the existing problems in what is already a "hot spot" for crime and disorder in the borough. Along with our business partners we work closely with all of the licensed premises and the local residents. There is a strong pubwatch attended by the licensees and this application was mentioned as some residents had been made aware of the planning application and are certainly likely to make representations. At this stage I do not want to make a formal representation and would be grateful for your earliest response. The last date for representations is the 5th June 2007.

DML Management (UK) Limited, 8 Elder Close, London, N20 8DN

3. Representations from the Interested Parties We have received 42 relevant representations from Interested Parties. These representations are attached to the report. These representations refer to issues such as noise, public nuisance & crime and disorder.

4. Representations from Responsible Authorities There were no representations received from any of the designated responsible authorities.

5. Officers Comments The Council's Policy and Guidance under Section 182 makes it clear that licensing law, though a key aspect, is not the primary mechanism for the general control of nuisance and antisocial behaviour by individuals once they are away from licensed premise and beyond the direct control of the licence holder. The Statutory Guidance at 7.23 and at 7.45 refers to the control of behaviour away from licensed premises. Council’s Policy (12.4) states that a licence may be granted where there is no planning consent and that licensing, planning and building control consents are distinctly separate processes and the legal framework for each is different.

6. Determination The sub-committee shall determine the application in accordance with Section 18 of the Licensing Act 2003. The Matters for decision are attached at Appendix 1. (1) Where relevant representations are made, the authority must-

(a) hold a hearing to consider them, unless the authority, the applicant and each person who has made such representations agree that a hearing is unnecessary, and

(b) having regard to the representations, take such of the steps mentioned in subsection

(2) (if any) as it considers necessary for the promotion of the licensing objectives. (3) the steps are-

(a) to modify the conditions of the licence; (b) to reject the whole or part of the application;

and for this purpose the conditions of the licence are modified if any of them is altered or omitted or any new condition is added.

8. Attaching conditions The operating schedule, which is part of the application, includes certain additional steps that the applicant will take to protect the licensing objectives. These will become enforceable conditions, should the licence be granted. Additional conditions may be attached to the licence if the committee thinks it appropriate. The Committee must have regard to all of the representations made and the evidence it hears, and 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 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”. The guidance also states at 7.17 that licensing conditions should be tailored to the size, style, characteristics and activities taking place at the premises concerned. Full Copies of the Councils Statement of Licensing Policy, the Statutory Guidance to the Act and the Council’s Guide to Good Practice at Licensed Premises will be available at the Licensing Sub Committee hearing or in advance if required. A map centrally locating the premises, identifying the properties of the residents who have made representations and a plan of the building will be available at the hearing 12/06/07 Prepared By: Lewis Dodd Licensing Officer

Dear Sir / Madam,

I act for Mr Dean Martin and his wife Michelle, directors of DML Management Ltd. I write in response to your representation with regard to an application for a premises licence in respect of Unit 1, Tally Ho Corner.

For clarification, the application has been amended following consultation with the police, and the agreed terminal hour sought for licensable activities is midnight Sunday to Thursday and 01.00 hours the days following Fridays and Saturdays. As a result of the amended hours, and measures detailed within the application, police have not objected to the application.

Dean grew up and attended school in Finchley. Having seen an empty unit every day for over two years prompted the idea to bring this exciting venture into the community. It will be a premises where, during the day, you can relax on leather sofas while enjoying hot and cold drinks, fresh pastries and panninis and fruit. There will be LCD television screens around the venue keeping people up to date with the latest news. There will also be free wireless access for customers. Platinum Lounge will pride itself on a wide selection of fine wines and stylish cocktails using fresh fruit that no other local venue can offer.

The first floor will be a very classy cocktail lounge with leather seating. There will be a VIP area for customers wishing to celebrate something special. From time to time there will be live singers offering a broad mixture of entertainment from jazz to Frank Sinatra. There will also be 60s, 70s and 80s themed nights to attract a more mature customer. The venue will be available for daytime conferences and private hire, offering buffet food service and corporate facilities

Dean Martin is a radio DJ, broadcasting to over 6 million people a week. Dean is proud to use his celebrity status to raise money for various charities. The Platinum Lounge will be an ideal venue to host fund raising activities for charities such as the North London Hospice and Jack Brown. As a prominent member of society, Dean has no desire to be associated with a badly run or nuisance venue.

Platinum Lounge’s customer demographic is the mature professional who will enjoy a stylish evening out at a venue offering quality entertainment, food and drink. It will certainly not include those that frequent Purple Rain or Barbara Langstone House.

As part of the application, an operating schedule was proposed to promote the four licensing objectives. These measures below were volunteered as being conditional to the grant of the licence.

1. Substantial food and suitable beverages other than intoxication liquor (including drinking water) shall be available during the whole of the permitted hours in all parts of the premises where intoxicating liquor is sold or supplied.

2. A closed circuit television shall be installed, maintained and operated correctly as specified by the Metropolitan Police Crime Prevention Officer. Images to be retained and available to the police for 31 days.

3. The premises will comply with the reasonable requirements of the Metropolitan Police Crime Prevention Officer

4. There will be a minimum of 2 door supervisors on duty at the premises from 22.30 hours Thursday to Saturday.

Cont’d

5. The numbers of persons accomodated at any one time shall not exceed the figure specified by the LFEPA.

6. To comply with the reasonable requirements of the London Borough of Barnet Environmental Health Officer.

7. The premises will operate a total no smoking policy throughout.

8. No customers to leave the premises with bottles or glasses.

9. To comply with the reasonable requirements of the London Borough of Barnet Environmental Health Officer.

10. All amplified sound will be kept at a reasonable level in order to ensure that any music at the premises will be inaudible in any noise sensitive adjacent premises. No noise shall emanate from the premises nor vibration be transmitted through the structure of the premises which gives rise to a nuisance.

11. The premises will support and comply with the industry best practice on identification of children

12. No striptease, no nudity, and all persons on the premises to be decently attired.

Furthermore, there are additional steps that will address concerns in relation to the licensing objectives.

The Platinum Lounge will host a meeting for residents when the premises opens, in order for them to see the premises for themselves and meet all the key members of staff.

The Arts Depot has it’s own security detail consisting of two guards, twenty four hours a day. These guards also patrol the pedestrian area of Nether Street after 21.30 hours Thursday – Sunday, and in particular the entrance to the Arts Depot carpark. The Arts Depot also has a sophisticated CCTV that covers much of the outside area surrounding Platinum Lounge.

There will be signage throughout Platinum Lounge to respect neighbours by leaving the area quietly.

Telephone numbers for local mini cab firms (such as Tally Ho mini cabs) will be clearly advertised in order to assist with the speedy departure of customers. Many Platinum Lounge customers will be able to park in the Arts Depot car park, where there are 47 spaces available after 18.00 hours. In addition, promotional material will give details of local carparks and customers will be discouraged from parking in Nether Street and other local roads.

The mobile telephone number of the general manager, Paul Wright, will be available to any local resident should they have any concerns regarding Platinum Lounge.

The Platinum Lounge will become active members of any local pub watch scheme and work in partnership with local residents and the statutory authorities to prevent crime and disorder and public nuisance.

It is Dean’s ambition for Platinum Lounge to become a significant part of the community, providing an excellent venue for those who live and work in North Finchley. I hope the information and measures outlined above will allay any fears you have in relation to this application.

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on 07958 512 470.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Watson

Licensing Team 22 Stanhope Road London Borough of Barnet North Finchley Building 4 London North London Business Park N12 9DT Oakleigh Road South London 31st May 2007 N11 1NP Re: The Application by Platinum Lounge, Unit 1, Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley N12 Dear Sir I object to the application by The Platinum Lounge for a premises licence. Every weekend residents in North Finchley are disturbed by people leaving local public houses at 0100 on Saturday & Sunday mornings. Residents are awoken or kept awake until 0200 by any or all of the following: • Fighting • Shouting • Screaming • Smashing of bottles • Music from cars • Car doors slamming • Cars screeching In recent years residents have experienced an increase in these late night problems and the situation has become intolerable. Venturing out to the Tally Ho area late at night on a Friday and Saturday is not recommended. This application is for a new licence and will add another venue into an area with existing problems and is likely to add to these problems. People going to this premises are likely to park in nearby residential streets such as Nether Street and Derby Avenue and cause noise going to and from their cars away from the public house. This could be especially bad late at night after closing time when they will have consumed significant amounts of alcohol. Therefore, I request that this application for a new premises licence by Platinum Lounge is rejected. Kind regards Simon Newman Kimberly Rivers Newman

From: Dominic Fee [[email protected]] Sent: 15 June 2007 11:56 To: Dodd, Lewis Subject: Fraudulent representation on my behalf: WK/200700708 Ref: WK/200700708 Lewis, Thank you for your letter regarding the application for a premises licence for Platinum Lounge, Unit 1 Arts Depot, Nether Street, London N12 0BF, in which you thanked me for my representation and stated that a copy would be forwarded to the applicant. Your letter was addressed to Mr D Fee, Flat 909, 100 Kingsway, North Finchley, N12 0EN. I have made no representation concerning this application, and I am disappointed that it appears someone else has fraudulently made a representation to you in my name. I urge you to disregard that representation, and any others you may have received that might show a similar style of writing or presentation. I suspect that a party has used a list of residents to make false representations in bulk - this is demonstrated by the incorrect postcode given to you, because my flat is in the N12 0EQ part of the block, not N12 0EN. The letter may have been from the estate agents we rent our flat from, Martyn Gerrard, who always use that wrong postcode, but it could also be from the building's managing agents, Parkgate Aspen, or from an association that represents leaseholders in this building. No other party had my permission to make any representation on my behalf, and I had not discussed that application with anyone. My actual opinion of the application is indifferent, since I am moving house this weekend down to Finchley Road. Nevertheless the party who wrote that letter stole my right to have a democratic input to your licencing process, and I hope you can investigate this. Please contact me by email or telephone in future. Dominic Fee 07811 553010
