Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 16 November 2026
Part I – Public
6.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
6.1 The application does not specify a Designated Premises Supervisor at this stage. The applicant
advises within the application that, should the premises licence be granted, an application to specify
a Designated Premises Supervisor will be submitted prior to the premises opening. Under Section 19
of the Licensing Act 2003, no alcohol sales can occur without a DPS in place.
6.2 A map of the area surrounding the premises can be seen at Appendix 45.
6.3 Photographs of the premises and the surrounding locality can be seen at Appendix 46(a) & (b).
7.0 OFFICER'S OBSERVATIONS
7.1 The application seeks the grant of a new premises licence which would authorise significantly later
licensable hours than those currently permitted under the existing premises licence for The
Carpenters Arms. The existing licence authorises the sale of alcohol and regulated entertainment until
00:00 hours daily, whereas the applicant seeks the sale of alcohol and regulated entertainment until
03:00 hours Sunday to Wednesday and 04:30 hours Thursday to Saturday. Statutory guidance under
Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003, requires licensing authorities to consider the potential impact
of extended hours on the licensing objectives.
7.2 The premises currently benefits from a premises licence which remains in force and contains
conditions relating to CCTV, Pu bwatch membership, drugs policies, toilet monitoring, external
drinking restrictions, external music controls and a requirement for children to leave the premises by
20:00 hours unless dining with a responsible adult . Statutory guidance under Section 182 o f the
Licensing Act 2003, requires licensing authorities to consider the potential impact of extended hours
on the licensing objectives . Consideration should be given to the extent to which the proposed
conditions provide an appropriate level of promotion of the licensing objectives when compared to the
protections contained within the existing premises licence.
7.3 The applicant describes the premises as a "Restaurant and Late-Night Venue". The application seeks
authorisation for on and off sales of alcohol, regulated entertainment, late night refreshment and the
operation of a dedicated shisha lounge, together with a number of non -standard and seasonal
extensions. Members may wish to consider the overall nature of the operation proposed by the
application when assessing whether the operating schedule is appropriate for the promotion of the
licensing objectives.
7.4 Representations from Members raise concerns primarily in relation to the prevention of public
nuisance, prevention of crime and disorder, public safety and protection of children from harm.
Common themes include the proposed late terminal hours, the proximity of the premises to residential
properties, a care home and educational establishments, together with concerns regarding customer
dispersal, noise disturbance, anti-social behaviour and the potential impact of the premises operating
as a late-night destination venue. Whilst acknowledging the range of conditions proposed within the
operating schedule, Ward Members comment whether these mea sures would adequately mitigate
the impact of licensable activities operating until the early hours of the morning and have requested
either refusal of the application or a substantial reduction in the proposed operating hour.
7.5 Representations have bee n received from the Council's Environmental Protection Team and the
Licensing Authority, together with a holding representation from the Metropolitan Police Service. The
principal concerns raised by Responsible Authorities relate to the proposed operation of a late-night
venue, including the proposed shisha lounge, in close proximity to residential properties and the
adequacy of the measures proposed to mitigate noise, customer dispersal, crime and disorder and
public nuisance. Responsible Authorities have also raised concerns regarding matters including
Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 16 November 2026
Part I – Public
security staffing, management arrangements, child protection measures, noise management and the
operation of external areas, particularly having regard to the late terminal hours and seasonal
extensions sought by the application.
7.6 33 representations from interested parties have been received. The representations raise concerns
primarily in relation to the prevention of public nuisance, prevention of crime and disorder, public
safety and the protection of children from harm. The most common concerns relate to the late
operating hours sought by the application, with residents expressing concerns that customer arrivals,
departures and dispersal during the early hours of the morning would result in noise disturbance, anti-
social behaviour, littering, parking pressures and increased vehicle movements within the surrounding
residential area. A number of representations also refer to the proximity of residential properties, a
care home, schools and pedestrian rout es used by families, and question whether the measures
proposed within the operating schedule would adequately mitigate the impact of a late -night venue
operating until the hours sought. Several representations further raise concerns regarding the
adequacy of the proposed noise management, security and dispersal.
8.0 RELEVANT SECTIONS OF S.182 GUIDANCE
8.1 Determining actions that are appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives.
At paragraph 9.42 it states that "Licensing authorities are best placed to determine what actions are
appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in their areas. All licensing determinations should be
considered on a case -by-case basis. They sho uld take into account any representations or objections that
have been received from responsible authorities or other persons, and representations made by the applicant
or premises user as the case may be".
At paragraph 9.43 it states that "The authority ’s determination should be evidence -based, justified as
being appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives and proportionate to what it is intended to
achieve".
At paragraph 9.44 it states that "Determination of whether an action or step is appropriate for the
promotion of the licensing objectives requires an assessment of what action or step would be suitable to
achieve that end. While this does not therefore require a licensing authority to decide that no lesser step will
achieve the aim, the authority should aim to consider the potential burden that the condition would impose
on the premises licence holder (such as the financial burden due to restrictions on licensable activities) as
well as the potential benefit in terms of the promotion of the licensing objectives.
However, the Revised Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 informs that it is
imperative that the authority ensures that the factors which form the basis of its determination are limited to
consideration of the promotion of the objectives and nothing outside those parameters. As with the
consideration of licence variations, the licensing authority should consider wider issues such as other
conditions already in place to mitigate potential negative impact on the promotion of the licensing objectives
and the track record of the business.
Further advice on determining what is appropriate when imposing conditions on a licence or certificate is
provided in Chapter 10. The licensing authority is expected to come to its determination based on an
assessment of the evidence on both the risks and benefits either for or against making the determination".
8.2 Proportionality
At paragraph 10.2 it states, “Conditions include any limitations o r restrictions attached to a licence or
certificate and essentially are the steps or actions that the holder of the premises licence or the club premises
certificate will be required to take or refrain from taking in relation to the carrying on of licensable activities at
the premises in question.
Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 16 November 2026
Part I – Public
Failure to comply with any condition attached to a licence or certificate is a criminal offence, which on
conviction is punishable by an unlimited fine or up to six months’ imprisonment. The courts have made clear
that it is particularly important that conditions which are imprecise or difficult for a licence holder to observe
should be avoided.”
At paragraph 10.8 it states, “The licensing authority may not impose any conditions unless its discretion has
been exercised following receipt of relevant representations and it is satisfied as a result of a hearing (unless
all parties agree a hearing is not necessary) that it is appropriate to impose conditions to promote one or
more of the four licensing objectives.
In order to promote the crime prevention licensing objective conditions may be included that are aimed at
preventing illegal working in licensed premises. This provision also applies to minor variations.”
At paragraph 10.10 it states that "The 2003 Act requires that licensing conditions should be tailored to the
size, type, location and characteristics and activities taking place at the premises concerned. Co nditions
should be determined on a case -by-case basis and standardised conditions which ignore these individual
aspects should be avoided.
For example, conditions should not be used to implement a general policy in a given area such as the use of
CCTV, p olycarbonate drinking vessels or identity scanners where they would not be appropriate to the
specific premises. Conditions that are considered appropriate for the prevention of illegal working in premises
licensed to sell alcohol or late -night refreshment might include requiring a premises licence holder to
undertake right to work checks on all staff employed at the licensed premises or requiring that a copy of any
document checked as part of a right to work check is retained at the licensed premises. Licensing authorities
and other responsible authorities should be alive to the indirect costs that can arise because of conditions.
These could be a deterrent to holding events that are valuable to the community or for the funding of good
and important causes. Licensing authorities should therefore ensure that any conditions they impose are only
those which are appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives".
8.3 Hours of Trading
At paragraph 10.13 it states "The Government ack nowledges that different licensing strategies may be
appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in different areas. The 2003 Act gives the licensing
authority power to make decisions about the hours during which premises can conduct licensab le activities
as part of the implementation of its licensing policy statement.
Licensing authorities are best placed to make decisions about appropriate opening hours in their areas based
on their local knowledge and in consultation with responsible authorities. However, licensing authorities must
always consider each application and must not impose predetermined licensed opening hours, without giving
individual consideration to the merits of each application”.
At paragraph 10.15 Shops, stores and supermarkets should normally be free to provide sales of alcohol for
consumption off the premises at any times when the retail outlet is open for shopping unless there are good
reasons, based on the licensing objectives, for restricting those hours.
8.4 Licensing Hours
At paragraph 14.51 With regard to licensing hours, the Government acknowledges that different licensing
approaches may be appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives in different areas. The 2003 Act
gives the licensing authority power to make decisions regardi ng licensed opening hours as part of the
implementation of its licensing policy statement and licensing authorities are best placed to make such
decisions based on their local knowledge and in consultation with other responsible authorities. However,
licensing authorities must always consider each application and must not impose predetermined licensed
opening hours, without giving individual consideration to the merits of each application.
At paragraph 14.52 Statements of licensing policy should set out the licensing authority’s approach
regarding licensed opening hours and the strategy it considers appropriate for the promotion of the licensing
objectives in its area. The statement of licensing policy should emphasise the consideration which will be
Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 16 November 2026
Part I – Public
given to the individual merits of an application. The Government recognises that licensed premises make an
important contribution to our local communities and has given councils a range of tools to effectively manage
the different pressures that licensed premises can bring. In determining appropriate strategies around
licensed opening hours, licensing authorities cannot seek to restrict the activities of licensed premises where
it is not appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives to do so.
8.5 The Need for Licensed Premises
At paragraph 14.19 There can be confusion about the difference between the “need” for premises and the
“cumulative impact” of premises on the licensing objectives, for example, on crime and disorder. “Need”
concerns the commercial demand for another pub or restaurant or hotel and is a matter for the planning
authority and for the market. This is not a matter for a licensing authority in discharging its licensing functions
or for its statement of licensing policy.
At paragraph 1.18 When making licensing decisions, all licensing authorities should consider the need to
promote growth and deliver economic benefits.
9.0 RELEVANT SECTIONS OF HILLINGDON’S LICENSING POLICY
9.1 Licensing Objectives – The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
At paragraph 12.1 Licensed premises, especially those offering late night/early morning entertainment,
alcohol and refreshment, can be a source of crime and disorder. The Licensing Authority will expect operating
schedules to satisfactorily address these issues from the design of the premises through to the daily operation
of the business. Applicants are recommended to seek advice from the Police Licensing Officer and Licensing
Authority Officers prior to making any application as early advice can alleviate representations being made
once an application is submitted. Full contact details for both are contained within the Responsible Authorities
contact in appendix B.
At paragraph 12.3 Where a number of premises may be in close proximity it may be difficult to attribute the
disorder to patrons of particular premises, however there is a duty on Premises Licence Holders or Club
Management Committees to act responsibly to ensure their own customers do not contribute to crime and
disorder whilst in their premises and in the vicinity of their premises.
At paragraph 12.6 Applications referred to the Licensing Sub -Committee where relevant representations
have been received will be determined on the ind ividual merit of each case. The Licensing Sub -Committee
has the power to impose specific conditions when considered appropriate in respect of the Crime and
Disorder objective.
9.2 Licensing Objectives – Public Safety
At paragraph 13.5 Applications referred to the Licensing Sub-Committee will be determined on the individual
merit of each case. The Licensing Sub -Committee have the power to impose specific conditions when
considered necessary in respect of the Public Safety objective.
9.3 Licensing Objectives – The Prevention of Public Nuisance
At paragraph 1 4.1 Licensing Sub Committees will be mindful that licensed premises, especially those
operating late at night and in the early hours of the morning, can cause a range of nuisances impacting on
people living, working or sleeping in the vicinity of the premises. When addressing public nuisance, the
applicant should identify any particular issues that are likely to affect adversely the promotion of the licensing
objective to prevent public nuisance. They should then include in the operating schedule how they will deal
with those matters. The concerns mainly relate to noise nuisance from within the premises or from the use
of any outside areas, light pollution, smoke and noxious smells. This may also include patrons outside a
premises and the dispersal of customers. Due regard will be given to the impact these may have, and the
Licensing Authority will expect operating schedules to satisfactorily address these issues.
9.4 Licensing Hours
Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 16 November 2026
Part I – Public
At paragraph 27.1 Prior to the introduction of the Licensing Act 2003, it was believed that fixed and artificially
early closing times (established under the Licensing Act 1964) were one of the key causes of rapid binge
drinking prior to closing times and one of the causes of disorder and disturbance when large number of
customers were required to leave the premises simultaneously.
At paragraph 27.2 The aim through promotion of the licensing objectives should be to reduce the potential
for concentrations and achieve a slower dispersal of people from licensed premises through flexible opening
times.
At paragraph 27.3 Arbitrary restrictions that would undermine the principle of flexibility will therefore be
avoided. The four licensing objectives will be paramount at all times and the Council will always consider the
individual merits of each case.
At paragraph 27.4 In accordance with guidance there is no fixed restriction on terminal hours for any
particular areas of the borough. Such a restriction could cause the migration of patrons from one area to
another and create the circumstances that the legislation is attempting to avoid. Each application will be dealt
with on its merits. It is for the applicants to detail in their Operating Schedule exactly what times they intend
to open and close the premises and what measures they will take to ensure that they do not cause nuisance
or disturbance to their neighbours in the vicinity. The later the terminal hour applied for, the greater will be
the need to address the issues of disturbance and nuisance.
At paragraph 27.5 Shops, stores and supermarkets licensed to sell alcohol will normally be allowed to do so
for the full duration of their trading hours. Restrictions may be applied, for example where representations
are made indicating the particular premises or patrons of the premises are linked to disorder and or
disturbance.
9.5 Licence Conditions
At paragraph 22.1 Conditions on premises licences and club certificates are determined by:
The measures put forward on the Operating Schedule
Mandatory conditions within the Act (current list included as Appendix G)
Measures decided at a hearing by the Licensing Sub Committee
At paragraph 22.2 Conditions attached to licences by the Licensing Authority that have been proposed by
the applicant in their operating schedule should be consistent with the steps set out in the operating schedule.
This means that the effect of these conditions should be substantially the same as that intended by the terms
of the operating schedule.
At paragraph 22.3 Any conditions attached to licences following relevant representations will f ocus on
matters within the control of the Premises Licence Holder or Club Management Committees. They will
address matters which have a direct impact on those living, working or engaged in normal activities in the
vicinity, as well as patrons of the licensed premises.
They will not be used as a means of attempting to attach responsibility to Premises Licence Holders or Club
Management Committees for matters outside their reasonable control, such as anti -social behaviour once
away from the premises or licensable activity. Conditions imposed by the Licensing Authority shall be
appropriate, reasonable, and proportionate and should be determined on a case-by-case basis.
At paragraph 22.4 The Licensing Authority will not impose standard conditions upon every licence issued,
however it may have regard to model conditions produced by the Government and/or the Institute of
Licensing, and it may choose to impose these in appropriate circumstances.
10 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 16 November 2026
Part I – Public
10.1 When considering an application for a grant of a new Premises Licence, the Sub -Committee shall
carry out its functions with a view to taking steps it considers appropriate for promoting the licensing
objectives. The licensing objectives are:
Prevention of crime and disorder
Public Safety
Prevention of public nuisance
Protection of children from harm
10.2 Members should note that each objective is of equal importance. There are no other licencing
objectives, and the four objectives are paramount considerations at all times.
10.3 An application for a new premises licence may be made pursuant to s.16 and s.17 of the Act, and
with regard to the Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises certificates) Regulations
2005/42 and the licensing Act 2003 (Fees) Regulations 2005/79.
10.4 The Sub-Committee must ensure that all licensing decisions:
Have a direct relationship to the promotion of one or more of the four licensing objectives
Have regard to the Council's statement of licensing policy
Have regard to the Secretary of State guidance
Must not be subject to a blanket policy to the extent that it is applied so rigidly that an exercise of
discretion in each individual case is precluded
10.5 Where relevant representations are made, the Licensing Authority must hold a hearing to determ ine
the application, unless all are agreed that such a hearing is unnecessary s.18(3)(a) Licencing Act
2003.
10.6 Relevant representations are those that relate to the effect of the granting of the application on the
promotion of the licensing objectives made by an interested party or responsible authority that have
not been withdrawn and are not, in the opinion of the relevant licencing authority, frivolous or vexatious
s.18(7) Licensing Act 2003.
10.7 The Sub-Committee can only consider matters within the applica tion that have been raised through
representations from interested parties and responsible authorities. Interested parties must live within
the vicinity of the premises. All applications will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
10.8 Following a hearing, the Sub-Committee must consider all relevant representations, and having taken
into account the promotion of the licensing objectives, under s.18(3(b) and (4) Licensing Act 2003, a
decision can be taken:-
i. To grant the licence, subject to the mandatory conditio ns and conditions consistent with the
operating schedule;
ii. To impose additional relevant conditions to such an extent as is considered necessary for the
promotion of the licensing objectives;
iii. To exclude any of the licensable activities to which the application relates;
iv. To amend the times for all or some of the licensable activities;
v. To refuse to specify a person in the licence as the premises supervisor;
vi. To reject the application.
10.9 Conditions will not be necessary if they duplicate a current statutory requir ement. The licencing
Authority may therefore only impose such conditions that are necessary to promote the licensing
objectives arising out of the consideration of the representations.
10.10 If the Sub -Committee determines that it is necessary to modify the conditions, or to refuse the
application for a Premises Licence application, it must give reasons for its decision.
Licensing Sub-Committee hearing – 16 November 2026
Part I – Public
10.11 The Council in its capacity as Licensing Authority has a duty to have regard to its public sector equality
duty under s.149 of the Equality Act 2010. In summary s.149 provides that a Public Authority must, in
the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to:
i. Eliminate discrimination harassment, victimisation an d any other conduct that is prohibited by or
under this Act.
ii. Advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and
persons who do not share it; and
iii. Foster good relations between persons who share relevant protect ed characteristics and persons
who do not.
10.12 Section 149(7) of the Equality Act 2010 defines nine relevant protected characteristics these are:
i. age
ii. gender reassignment
iii. being married or in a civil partnership
iv. being pregnant or on maternity leave
v. disability
vi. race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin.
vii. religion or belief
viii. sex
ix. sexual orientation
10.13 Officers have provided the Sub-Committee with recommendations related to this application. Subject
to the above -mentioned factors having been properl y considered, the Sub -Committee may depart
from the recommendations if there are good reasons for doing so. The Sub-Committee is advised
that such departures could give rise to an appeal or judicial review.
10.14 Interested parties, Responsible Authorities and the Applicant have the right to appeal the decision of
the Licensing Sub-Committee to the Magistrates’ Court within a period of 21 days beginning with the
day on which the applicant was notified by the Licensing Authority of the decision to be appealed
against.
