Revision A (15/09/17): Red line denoting extent of licensed areaadded.
Cumulative Impact Statement
As noted as part of this licence application, BrewDog Retail Limited are aware that this
premises falls within Islington Council’s Upper Street/Angel Cumulative Impact Zone. The
premises currently has the benefit of a premises licence (no. LN/2908-310715), with hours
from 10:00 – 00:00 Monday to Saturday and from 12:00 to 23:30 Sunday. This is subject to
conditions which require that all sales of alcohol must be ancillary to meals.
However, BrewDog are keen to develop a new and unique concept in the premises, and it
therefore seems sensible to apply for a new premises licence to reflect this style of operation.
Furthermore, BrewDog are confident that the nature of the proposal will ensure that this
application is a genuine exception to the Cumulative Impact Policy, and will uphold the
licensing objectives and the general aims of Islington Council’s Statement of Licensing
Policy (the “Policy”).
We would like to use this opportunity to explain a little bit about BrewDog as a company;
what we would propose for Essex Road; and why we consider this to uphold the Policy.
BrewDog
Brewdog was born in 2007. It was a reaction to the company’s founding directors’ perception
that the UK’s alcohol market is dominated by industrially brewed products marketed by
multi-national companies, with little care or attention given to the beers they create and sell.
Brewdog set out to make great craft beer for those who drink beer for the flavour and
artisanship of the product, rather than as a means of getting intoxicated. All of their beers are
and always have been made from fresh, natural ingredients with no additives or preservatives.
They aim to brew innovative, progressive and exciting full flavoured beers, and will often
add a contemporary spin to classic beer styles.
At inception, Brewdog beer was brewed in tiny batches. Bottles were filled by hand and sold
at local markets from the back of a van. The mission was simply to make other people as
passionate about great craft beer as the founding directors were. The directors are still in
place, and that remains the mission of the company today.
Brewdog’s basic ambition is to brew unique and interesting beers that people will want to
sample, and to do so they focus on using the best possible techniques and ingredients. This
means that the price of BrewDog’s products is often much higher than those of their
Appendix 2 i.
competitors. BrewDog are not interested in sacrificing quality for costs. The product is the
point of the exercise, and they will not make compromises in the product so as to compete on
price.
The ethos is educational and transformative – the message is that this is a great product to be
enjoyed, not a liquid to be consumed indiscriminately for the purpose of getting drunk.
Whilst BrewDog do brew beers which are of higher strength than ‘ordinary’ beers, they do
not sell them in pints. They are sold in measures appropriate to the strength of the product, to
be sampled and enjoyed, not for intoxication. Indeed, BrewDog was instrumental in
campaigning to allow beer to be sold in these smaller measures.
The company has found that there is immense support amongst craft beer enthusiasts for its
products. These tend to be mature people who are passionate about the product. Many of
these people attend BrewDog’s annual general meeting in Aberdeen, coming from all over
the United Kingdom and abroad. This shows the possibilities of a new approach to alcohol,
where the product is appreciated for its qualities, its flavour and its artisanship, and a real
sense of fellowship is created amongst its consumers. BrewDog’s relationship with their
customers and shareholders is built on that platform, one which the company will never
abandon. BrewDog have recently announced that they will give away 20% of their profits
each year, with 10% going to charity and 10% going to its team.
Built on these shared values, the company has rapidly grown to become the largest
independent brewery in the United Kingdom, supplying not only the UK but also exporting to
more than 55 different countries.
BrewDog have incredible support from their shareholders who are all as passionate as the
company are about Brewdog and craft beer. In summary, the ethos of Brewdog is based on
an appreciation for premium brewed crafted beers, in a similar manner to understanding good
malt whiskies or fine wines.
Although Brewdog is, and always will be, primarily a brewer of fine beers, the company saw
a demand among its supporters for the opportunity to sample its products locally. In addition
to the commercial opportunity arising from the satisfaction of that demand, Brewdog wanted
to demonstrate how brewers could contribute to a change of drinking habits, in fact, a
transformation of the drinking culture, by creating bars where the emphasis was on education
and enjoyment of the product rather than volume consumed.
BrewDog bars are intended to be a beacon for craft beer and as such appeal to a more mature
customer base. They are very much about education, and try to open each new customer’s
mind as to the breadth of different beers that are available and to the quality of flavour those
beers can provide.
Essex Road Proposal
At this site specifically, BrewDog are not looking to create a pure ‘bar’. The premises, if this
application is granted, will be known as The Hopworks and will be a hybrid between bar use,
food, retail and educational facility.
The key focus of the premises will be the installation of several small home brew kits, which
the local community would have access to, to allow them to make and learn about beer in a
controlled and professional environment. Customers will be able to attend classes to suit
varying levels of ability and experience, and will be able to learn about all aspects of beer
making, from raw ingredients to brewing technique. They would also propose for the site to
host events to showcase local brewers to give them a platform to share their knowledge and
experience.
The retail element of the business will sell home brew ingredients and a selection of locally
produced craft beers as well as rare/hard to find beers from around the world. Support for
local craft breweries is a significant element of all BrewDog premises, and this site will be no
different.
The bar element will be small, with a limited capacity, as demonstrated and ensured by the
conditions offered in the operating schedule submitted with this licence application. The size
of this area can be seen on the plan attached to this application.
Finally, the premises will offer a full menu of stonebaked pizzas, made using brewers’ yeast,
throughout opening hours.
BrewDog are confident that this combination of features will result in a premises that will be
a valuable addition to the local area, and which will in fact impact positively, rather than
negatively, on the licensing objectives. They are also confident that they are able to trade in
accordance with each of the relevant aims of the Policy, and we outline the reasons for this
below.
Licensing Policy 1
This highlights the mixed use nature of Islington as a borough, stating that ‘as there is no
delineation between residential and commercial areas careful management is required to
prevent conflict between the different uses’. Indeed, at the very outset of the Policy this is
noted as a significant feature of the borough as a whole. Essex Road itself epitomises this,
being a busy highway with a number of commercial and licensed premises, but in extremely
close proximity to various residential premises.
BrewDog are very aware of the sensitivity of the location, and are keen to establish and
maintain positive relationships with their residential neighbours. As a result, they invited
local residents to meet with them to discuss their proposals prior to submitting this
application. Safeguards in respect of concerns raised by local residents have been
incorporated as conditions in the operating schedule submitted. For example, residents were
concerned that this application could be the start of the premises turning into a pure bar,
particularly if the licence were transferred on to an operator other than BrewDog. We have
safeguarded against this possibility by the addition of a ‘concept’ condition, allowing the
premises only to be traded by BrewDog as and in the style of The Hopworks.
We can also confirm that, whilst the premises will not be used for live or recorded music,
appropriate soundproofing measures will be installed at the premises before it is re-opened (if
this application is granted). This will ensure that the residents above the premises are not
disturbed. We will also ensure that an appropriate extraction system is installed to eliminate
any odours produced from the brewing process.
BrewDog are also very experienced when it comes to trading in harmony with local residents.
They trade in extremely close proximity to, indeed sometimes directly underneath, residents
in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds. Liverpool, Leicester, Nottingham,
Sheffield, Norwich, Camden, Shoreditch, Clapham, Shepherds Bush and Clerkenwell. It
operates in these locations without complaint, and without causing nuisance to those
residents.
The Licensing Authority clearly expresses in Policy 1 their obligation to balance the
conflicting needs of residents with those of the business and its patrons. We would submit
that provided that the premises does not give rise to nuisance, disorder or anti-social
behaviour, this balance has been struck.
Licensing Policy 1 sets out various matters that the Licensing Authority will consider in
making determinations in relation to new licence applications. These include whether the
premises is located in an area of cumulative impact; the type of premises; the proposed hours
of operation; the types and numbers of customers likely to attend; the applicant’s
commitment to high standards of management; and the physical suitability of the building.
We will address the Cumulative Impact Policy below, and the hours of operation, type of
premises and types and numbers of customers likely to attend will contribute towards the
explanation as to why the premises will not add to cumulative impact. This in turn will mean
that the premises will not impact negatively upon the lives of local residents.
In terms of other specifics mentioned here though, we can first of all confirm that BrewDog
are fully committed to the highest standards of management and service. BrewDog’s senior
management team are heavily involved in each site that they operate, both at the time of
opening and on an ongoing basis. There is an extensive network of operational support for all
general managers within the business.
All general managers and assistant managers are brought, before they commence
employment, to the main brewery in Scotland and shown how the beer is made. All team
members undergo an intensive three day training course covering the history of craft beer and
BrewDog, responsibilities under the Licensing Act, service standards and product education.
This allows all BrewDog staff to educate customers about the beers they sell. Many bar staff
also attend a Cicerone Accreditation Course, similar to a sommelier course for fine wines.
Management and staff are therefore knowledgeable and passionate about the brand, which
dictates the way in which the premises are run and the sorts of customers it attracts.
Licensing Policy 2
This outlines Islington Council’s Cumulative Impact Policy, which provides a presumption
that new applications for premises licences will not be granted ‘unless the applicant can
demonstrate why the operation of the premises involved will not add to the cumulative
impact’. The Policy goes on to state that this is demonstrated through the applicant’s
operating schedule.
It is important to note that the special policy ‘is not absolute’ and that ‘the licensing authority
shall permit licences that are unlikely to add to cumulative impact to be granted’. We would
submit that the premises, by its very nature, is not just unlikely to add to cumulative impact,
but simply does not have the propensity to do so.
Furthermore, we would submit that the new proposal is sufficiently more restrictive than the
existing premises licence for this site, that the cumulative impact policy need not be engaged
simply as a result of the removal of existing ancillary conditions. Essentially, we would
submit that the conditions proposed ensure that the premises will and can only operate in the
distinct way described above, and that this type of premises will not add to cumulative
impact.
The key aspects of the application which ensure this are as follows.
Firstly, the premises is currently licensed to sell alcohol between the hours detailed at the
beginning of this statement. It is also licensed to provide late night refreshment between the
hours of 23:00 and 00:30 Monday to Saturday and between the hours of 23:00 and 00:00
Sunday. Finally, it is permitted to play recorded music 24 hours a day, and the opening times
are unrestricted. BrewDog have noted, in this application, that should this new licence be
granted, the existing licence will be surrendered. This application seeks hours from 10:00 to
23:00 daily for the sale of alcohol, plus 30 minutes dispersal and late night refreshment. It
does not seek any regulated entertainment. This therefore means a reduction in the hours for
the sale of alcohol and late night refreshment by 1 hour Monday to Saturday and 30 minutes
Sunday evening, the complete removal of recorded music as a licensable activity and the
specification of opening hours to provide a defined dispersal period.
As such, this application effectively seeks to reduce the hours of an existing licensed
premises in the cumulative impact zone, thereby arguably reducing any cumulative impact
experienced.
Secondly, the premises licence currently has no capacity restriction whatsoever. BrewDog
have been happy to offer a capacity restriction which limits the number of customers on the
premises at any one time to 77 internal and 24 external. This demonstrates that the premises
is relatively small in terms of numbers, and also provides an improved position to a
previously unrestricted capacity. Again, therefore, the granting of this application would
arguably reduce the cumulative impact experienced.
Thirdly, whilst we have applied to remove the condition attached to the existing premises
licence which requires that the sale of alcohol be ancillary to food, other conditions have been
proposed to negate any potential additional cumulative impact arising from this. We have
offered that substantial food shall be available at all times that licensable activities are
permitted, that waiter/waitress service be available at all times and that a minimum number of
seats are maintained at all times. This means that there will be seating available for 65% of
the customers at the premises if it is full to maximum capacity.
Finally, there are various other safeguards included in the comprehensive operating schedule
submitted with this application, which incorporates suggestions from the pool of model
conditions contained in the Policy, conditions discussed with the responsible authorities and
conditions discussed with residents. These conditions include:
• comprehensive CCTV conditions;
• risk assessment condition re: SIA registered door supervisors;
• controls on the external area;
• a dispersal and smoking policy;
• taxi and transport arrangements;
• obligations to provide contact details to local residents;
• and a Challenge 25 policy.
The combination of these conditions and BrewDog’s style of operation will ensure that the
premises will trade without negative impact. Indeed, the Policy acknowledges that ‘the
impact of an application can be expected to be different for different premises with different
styles and characteristics’. It is the unique style and characteristics of BrewDog Hopworks
that will ensure that the impact is not a negative one.
We would further submit that the conditions offered as part of the application provide ‘an
effective solution’ to any concerns with regards to negative impact upon the licensing
objectives, as required by Licensing Policy 2, and therefore it would be proper to conclude
that this application is a genuine exception to policy.
The Policy provides specific examples of applications which may be exceptional in this
context, as well as examples of factors which will not be considered exceptional. The Policy
states that the fact that the premises will be well managed/run, or that the applicant operates
similar premises elsewhere without complaint, is not exceptional. However, it is important to
emphasise that both these factors are true of this application, and whilst that in itself may not
be exceptional, it is an indication that BrewDog is truly able to deliver on the elements of this
application which are exceptional – namely the unique style of operation and compliance
with the comprehensive list of conditions.
The Policy provides a list (which importantly is non-exhaustive) of factors which may be
considered exceptional. This includes a relatively limited capacity premises which is in
compliance with the hours in Licensing Policy 8. The application does propose a capacity
restriction but proposes lesser hours than those proposed in Licensing Policy 8 (more detail of
which will be provided below). This limited capacity, these hours and the factors outlined
above are a genuinely exceptional combination.
Finally, in relation to Licensing Policy 2, it is important and useful to consider the motivation
behind the introduction of the Upper Street/Angel Cumulative Impact Zone in order to be
confident that BrewDog’s operation would not conflict with the aims of the Policy.
It is clear that this Cumulative Impact Policy subsists as a result of the area being ‘a late night
alcohol related crime and disorder hotspot’. There are two key points to make here. Firstly,
BrewDog premises simply are not associated with alcohol related crime and disorder. They
attract customers who wish to drink to appreciate beer, not to get drunk. Secondly, this
premises will not be involved in ‘late night’ disorder, as it will trade until 23:00 plus 30
minutes dispersal. On a daily basis, it will be closed and customers will have dispersed long
before these issues begin to arise. Not only this, but, despite the hours sought being until
23:00, the later part of these hours are not typically BrewDog’s busiest. The majority of
BrewDog’s customers across the estate visit the premises for a drink or two, and perhaps a
bite to eat, after work. Indeed, the busiest hours across the BrewDog estate are between 5pm
and 8pm daily.
Therefore, BrewDog, by its very nature, will not contribute to the problems that the
Cumulative Impact Policy was devised to address, and therefore will not add to the
cumulative impact experienced.
The Policy also makes it clear that this Cumulative Impact Zone was introduced to allow the
Licensing Authority to manage the impact on residents of licensed premises in the area.
BrewDog are very keen to ensure that residents are not negatively affected by their operation,
as described above, and have offered extensive conditions to assure the Licensing Authority
that this will be the case.
Licensing Policy 4
The Policy details the Licensing Authority’s concern in respect of the adverse impact arising
from shops selling alcohol for consumption off the premises. As outlined above, this will not
be an ordinary ‘off licence’, selling the usual selection of beers at the usual off sales prices.
The Hopworks will sell rare and sought after beers, for the purposes of consuming and
enjoying at home, not for the purposes of drinking in the street and/or becoming intoxicated
such as to cause disturbance and anti-social behaviour. The price point of the products as well
as their type will dictate this.
By way of example, please see below a price comparison between a pint of various BrewDog
beers and a pint of various products offered in the nearby Wenlock and Essex pub.
BrewDog T1 pricing Price
Punk 5.4% £5.70
Dead Pony Club 3.8% £5.05
Kingpin 4.7% £5.35
5AM Saint 5% £5.65
Wenlock and Essex Price
Camden Hells 4.6% £4.60
Camden Ink Stout 4.4% £4.60
Camden Pale Ale 4.7% £4.70
Camden Wit 4.3% £4.70
Camden Pils 4.6% £4.60
Hawkes Urban Orchard Cider 4.5% £4.50
The concern is also around off licences selling alcohol to underage children. BrewDog do,
and will, operate a strict Challenge 25 scheme, as they do across their estate and all staff will
be comprehensively trained on this.
BrewDog simply will not contribute to the problems outlined by Licensing Policy 4.
Licensing Policy 5
Under this part of the Policy, the Licensing Authority ‘expects licensed premises to have
measures in place to ensure that their customers do not contribute to problems of anti-social
drinking in the street’. We would refer to the discussion above regarding the type of alcohol
which will be sold for consumption off the premises. It will not be the type that will be
purchased for the purposes of street drinking.
In terms of drinking at the premises itself, open containers of alcohol will only be permitted
to be taken into the premises’ delineated external area. This area shall be covered by CCTV
and monitored regularly by staff and doorstaff (when employed).
Finally, the area will cease to be used for drinking at 22:00 daily.
Licensing Policy 7 and 8
The above policies both concern hours for licensable activities. Policy 7 states that the
Licensing Authority is concerned about the proliferation of ‘late night’ venues and retailers.
Again, BrewDog are anxious not to become part of this ‘late night’ economy, hence applying
only until 23:00 plus 30 minutes dispersal. The Policy states that the Licensing Authority
may look to restrict hours where it is appropriate to promote the licensing objectives, but we
would submit that the hours we have applied for are appropriate in this case. Indeed, the
Policy refers to the fact that the peak hours for alcohol related crime are between midnight
and 05:00. As detailed above, BrewDog’s customers will have left the premises and dispersed
from the area well before this time.
Licensing Policy 8 prescribes hours that will generally be given more favourable
consideration in terms of new or variation applications. As discussed, the premises will be a
combination of the educational/brewing element with an off licence element, a bar element
and a restaurant element. The hours sought for the sale of alcohol in this application accord
exactly with the hours to be given favourable consideration in respect of off licences, and are
less than the hours considered to be favourable in respect of bars and restaurants. Surely, it
therefore follows that this application must be given favourable consideration on that basis.
This part of the Policy goes on to state that applicants for premises licences falling outside
those hours must fully explain in their operating schedule the arrangements that they will put
in place to ensure that the premises does not add to cumulative impact. BrewDog has done
this, as detailed above, despite the fact that the application also falls within those hours.
Licensing Policy 9 and 10
Islington Council ‘seeks to encourage the highest standards of management in licensed
premises’. There is no question that BrewDog will uphold this aspect of the policy.
Management and staff are comprehensively trained and consistently supported. The operating
schedule demonstrates BrewDog’s commitment to high standards of operation and
management, and to the implementation of measures that will ensure that the premises does
not contribute to the negative cumulative impact. BrewDog are experienced in trading in
areas of cumulative impact, and in implementing strict compliance with these sorts of
measures.
BrewDog are consistently recognised for operating well managed premises which have no
association whatsoever with any negative impact upon the licensing objectives. They have
the track record referred to in licensing policy 10. For example, Sergeant Ronald Neilson of
the licensing enforcement team at Greater Manchester Police has said ‘the venue is managed
in a responsible way and contributes positively to the night time economy’.
In accordance with the suggestion in policy 10, BrewDog have met with the Police and the
Licensing Authority prior to submission of the application, as well as with local residents,
have taken account of their comments and translated these into relevant conditions which are
included in the operating schedule.
Licensing Policy 11
The Licensing Authority ‘seeks to promote mixed use premises with alcohol sales being
offered to customers alongside entertainment and food’. BrewDog will offer alcohol
alongside entertainment and education, in the way of brewing facilities and classes as well as
food. They will enhance the area by offering something different in this respect. The Policy
encourages ‘mixed use premises that will appeal to a wide range of users’. As highlighted,
this premises will be a unique mixture of uses which will hopefully have a very broad appeal.
The predominant offer of the premises will not be vertical drinking, the offer will be a
mixture between brewing, retail, drinking and eating.
There will be substantial seating offered for those drinking, as guaranteed by the condition
requiring a minimum of 42 internal and 24 external seats. Indeed, ample and communal
seating is an important part of the BrewDog experience. BrewDog look to create a convivial
environment, where customers with the same interests and expectations in terms of a ‘bar’
can relax and enjoy. They also stock all their premises with old fashioned board games, and
many customers enjoy sitting with a drink or two playing these games. BrewDog’s customers
are encouraged to sit down and to savour and appreciate their beer.
There is acknowledgement of the fact that the ‘design and offer of the premises has a strong
influence on levels of drinking and behaviour’. This really echoes BrewDog’s ethos; we look
to create the sort of design and offer of premises which encourage responsible and educated
drinking behaviours. We believe that we are successful in doing this and that this will be
replicated on Essex Road if we are granted this licence.
Licensing Policy 12
The Licensing Authority advocates a number of best practice schemes, including Pubwatch
and Best Bar None. A representative of BrewDog will absolutely be an active member of the
local pubwatch scheme for as long as it is in existence, and indeed this is conditioned in the
operating schedule.
BrewDog are also happy to take the encouragement of the Licensing Authority in applying
for the Best Bar None award and signing and displaying a copy of the Licensees’ Charter at
the premises.
Licensing Policy 13
The Licensing Authority is, naturally, keen to ensure that licensed premises co-operate with
the responsible authorities to prevent the sale of alcohol to underage children; drunkenness on
the premises; and irresponsible drinks promotions.
As noted above, BrewDog will operate a strict Challenge 25 Policy. Staff training, and
refresher training, will include the operation of this policy. Staff will also be comprehensively
trained in the laws around the sale of alcohol to intoxicated persons, and, importantly, in how
to recognise intoxication.
Incidents of intoxication at BrewDog premises are in any case rare, due to the culture of the
premises described throughout this statement.
BrewDog do not engage in ‘typical’ drinks promotions, such as happy hours or 2-4-1s.
Indeed, part of what governs the culture and clientele of the premises is the price point of the
beer. People do not come to the premises looking for cheap alcohol, and indeed it is not
offered. The only ‘promotions’ are one off advertisement/marketing offers (e.g. BrewDog
offered one free pint to anyone who voted on the day of the 2017 general election) and 10%
off for BrewDog ‘shareholders’ (those who invested in their crowdfunding schemes) on
presentation of their BrewDog card. These certainly could not be considered to be
irresponsible promotions.
Licensing Policy 14
BrewDog is not in the vicinity of the Emirates Stadium and therefore would not generally be
caught by these expectations. Furthermore, BrewDog do not, in any premises, show live
televised sports.
Licensing Policy 16
BrewDog do not consider that the premises or the area indicate a requirement for
polycarbonate drinking vessels. However, BrewDog do use toughened glass across their
estate. The premises will not operate beyond 23:00 and the external area will only operate
until 22:00. However, BrewDog will keep the use of glass drinking vessels under regular
review for any change of circumstances as part of an ongoing risk assessment, as per the
operating schedule.
Licensing Policy 17
BrewDog is not a dance venue, and indeed no regulated entertainment whatsoever is included
in this application. However, in any case, BrewDog operates a zero tolerance policy to drugs.
Licensing Policy 18
The Licensing Authority is ‘committed to protecting the amenity of residents… in the
vicinity of licensed premises’, and the same can be said for BrewDog. This is why they met
with local residents in advance of submitting the application in order to take on board their
concerns and address them in the application.
We would submit that it is unnecessary for the Licensing Authority to impose any restrictions
on the licence regarding the prevention of nuisance, as BrewDog have offered extensive
conditions in that regard as part of the operating schedule. BrewDog would be in breach of
their licence if they caused a nuisance to nearby residents. They will install sufficient
soundproofing measures to ensure that this is not the case. They have not sought any
regulated entertainment, and music in BrewDog premises is only background level. They will
be closing the external area to drinkers and diners at 22:00.
Licensing Policy 19
BrewDog have proposed conditions to ensure that ‘early morning deliveries and collections’
do not ‘result in a public nuisance’. Collections, deliveries, bottling out and the emptying of
bins into skips will not be permitted to take place before 07:00 in the morning.
Licensing Policy 20
As previously discussed, BrewDog intend to operate an external area here. However, as per
the expectations of the Policy, the area will be clearly delineated as per the plan attached to
the premises licence; will be monitored in accordance with the smoking policy submitted
with this application; and will be covered by CCTV.
Pavement obstructions will not be caused, and the external area will of course not be utilised
until a pavement café licence application has been made and approved to ensure that this is
the case.
Furthermore, the Policy is concerned that nuisance can be caused by external areas ‘late at
night’. As stated previously, this area will not be used after 22:00 daily except for smoking.
Smokers will be carefully monitored after that time to ensure that a nuisance is not caused,
again in accordance with the smoking policy.
Licensing Policy 21
The Licensing Authority state that an application for a new licence will not usually be
granted ‘unless a proposed dispersal policy is included in the operating schedule’. BrewDog
have included such a policy. BrewDog acknowledge that it is possible for nuisance to be
caused to residents/noise sensitive premises beyond the hours for licensable activities and
opening of the premises if customers loiter. They are alive to this possibility, and will ensure
that staff discourage customers from assembling outside the premises at the end of the
evening. They will also advise and encourage customers to leave the premises and its vicinity
in an orderly and quiet fashion.
The Policy also states that the Licensing Authority will normally require licensed premises to
be cleared of premises within a reasonable period, usually 30 minutes. BrewDog intend to do
just that – the opening hours will go from being unrestricted under the current licence to 30
minutes longer than the hours for licensable activities under this licence (if granted).
Licensing Policy 22
The dispersal of patrons is of course linked to their onward transport, and indeed
arrangements for accessing transport is mentioned in Licensing Policy 21. However,
Licensing Policy 22 focuses on this in more detail.
The Policy states that the Licensing Authority will ‘consider the availably of secure access to
late night public transport facilities including taxis and minicabs’. The premises is
conveniently located on a busy main road, roughly a 5-10 minute walk from a tube station
and an overground station. There is a bus stop directly across the road.
In terms of taxis, the premises will have taxi numbers displayed for customer information,
and the facility available for customers to call taxis if necessary. However, it is of course
increasingly the case that customers will use apps or their own preferred companies when
ordering taxis. What the premises will ensure, however, is that customers are actively
encouraged to wait inside for their taxis. This will achieve the aim of minimising the impact
of customers waiting/dispersing on the local neighbourhood.
Licensing Policy 24 and 25
The Licensing Authority requires ‘consideration of measures to protect children from harm to
be reflected in the operating schedule’.
BrewDog is happy to admit children to the premises, for example as part of a group or a
family to enjoy the pizza offering. BrewDog is family friendly across its estate, something
which the Policy is keen to promote. However, appropriate safeguards will be in place to
ensure the protection of children from harm. Children will not be permitted access to the
premises unless they are accompanied by an adult, and will not be permitted at all after 22:00.
Additionally, as already detailed, a stringent Challenge 25 Policy will be in place, both in
respect of on sales and off sales – as suggested by the Policy.
Conclusion
It is therefore clear, on review of each element of the Policy, that BrewDog meets with the
Licensing Authority’s expectations and upholds its aims.
Whilst the premises is located in a Cumulative Impact Zone, there are a number of factors
which when taken together ensure that the grant of this application will not contribute
negatively. The application reduces hours and restricts capacity in comparison to the existing
licence, and the style of operation and comprehensive set of conditions contained in the
operating schedule make this a truly exceptional proposal. We would submit that this set of
circumstances rebuts the presumption and justifies a departure from the Cumulative Impact
Policy on its specific merits.

DISPERSAL POLICY
_________________________________________________________
The purpose of this Dispersal Policy is to ensure, so far as it is possible, that minimum disturbance or nuisance is caused to our neighbours and to ensure that the operation of the premises makes the minimum impact upon the neighbourhood in relation to potential nuisance and anti-social behaviour. This will be achieved by exercising pro-active measures towards and at the end of the evening.
By ensuring that this Dispersal Policy document is brought to the attention of Management and Staff we will seek to encourage the efficient, controlled and safe dispersal of our patrons during our closing period.
1. At the end of the evening management and staff will assist with the orderly and gradualdispersal of patrons.
2. Staff Members (including door personnel when employed) will advise patrons to leave thepremises quickly and quietly out of respect for our neighbours.
3. Notices will be displayed requesting our customers to leave quietly and in an orderly mannerout of consideration to neighbours and their attention will be drawn to these notices bymembers of staff.
4. We will ensure the removal of all bottles and drinking receptacles from any patron beforeexiting the premises (this does not apply in the case of consumption in any delineatedexternal drinking area.)

Fwd: Premises Licence New: BrewDog Hopworks
Rep2
I am a local resident at d wish to object to the Application by Brewdog Hopworks for a variation of their licence.
The premises are situated in the local paii of Essex Road near The Winchester and Wenlock and Essex and the Old Queens Head which continue to be a focus for anti social behaviour. I regulai·ly walk home from friends past the premises late at night and am well awai·e of the drnnkenness and violence on the street here. I pick my way through with great care. The premises ai·e situated below residential flats which have been badly affected by noise since Brewdog removed all ground floor insulation and subsequently refused to replace it .
Brewdog have tried and failed to sell their products accompanied by a table meal as required by the existing licence and have not trnded at the premises for some time. Their proposed " full menu of stone baked pizzas"is a half heaiied add on, food doesn't sell at Brewdog establishments which is why they wish to have this requirement removed from their licence. Experience here in Islington indicates cleai·ly that alcohol served with a table meal effectively reduces anti social behaviour.
There is considerable local concern which I share that the reality of this Variation is conversion to a Bar, with 24 outside drinkers and 77 internal drinkers together with an off licence: a ve1y different offering to that provided by the cmTent licence, which Brewdog go to great lengths to underplay in their lengthy application. Under Islington's Licensing Policy, the onus is on Brewdog to demonstrate that this proposed Vai·iation will not add to the Cumulative Impact which they have failed to do. The Vai·iation proposed is a major change to both on and off alcohol sales with considerable negative implications for local residents .
The premises ai·e situated in the Angel/Upper Street Cumulative Impact Zone in a mixed residential commercial ai·ea and the V ai·iation proposed will add to the Cumulative Impact by reason of noise and anti social behaviour . I consider that ,given the location ,the cmTent licence affecting the premises is fair and reasonable and in keeping with Islington's Licensing Objectives and should be retained and fuiiher that no off sales should be pennitted.
I would be pleased to address the Licensing Sub Committee on this at the Heai·ing.
Yours Faithfully

Rep3
Premises Name and Address: Brewdog Hopworks, combined with 29-now a restaurant, 31 Essex Rd, Islington, Nl 2SA
Public Nuisance
101 capacity, drinking strnng beer, constitutes a bar to my mind, and with an an application to have outside seating would cause mise1y for the people in our development living above the premises. Noise and smoking being the main nuisance. The noise from the Wenlock and Essex opposite this premises is ah-eady rowdy and it is difficult for residents to have their windows open at night, especially at the weekend. This would just add to this frnstration with the ce1iainty of smoke rising up and entering their flats. It would be better if the outside license was not granted or outside activities restricted to the daytime only ..
With regards to the soundproofing. It is difficult for us to tiust Brewdog, as when they first attempted a business on this premises a few years ago they ripped out all the soundproofing in order to give it an "industi·ial" look, with no thought for the residents whose lives were then made a mise1y. There would need to be sti·ong assurances that top quality soundproofing is re-instated immediately.
They say in the application that skip, rnbbish collection and bottling out would not be done between 11 pm and 7am. This is not acceptable. The previous business, Giraffe Restaurant, voluntarily agreed to exclude these activities between 9pm and 9am, we would like Brewdog to do the same.
Crime and Disorder
The gates to our development, fronting Essex Road and next to Brewdog are open until 11 pm as there is a gym situated within the premises with members of the public needing access to it. This ah-eady gives us a problem in an area heavily populated with bars, pubs and restaurants with people entering the comiyard smoking, urinating, vomiting and vandalising cars and bikes not to mention mug use, just recently we had a break in. I am extremely concerned that having a bar right outside our gate, in whatever guise, would increase this problem. We have one member of staff on duty overnight from 6pm-6am. I am wonied that this would compromise him/her and would place their safety at risk, should they have to confront potentially diunk and rowdy people and ask them to leave. They are ah-eady nervous about this scenario. Beers wiith names such as "Cocoa Psycho" and "Hardcore IPA" are hardly going to appeal to a mature customer no matter what Brewdog say to the conti·aiy.

Public Safety
I am concerned that our residents and gym going members of the public using our entrance may be at risk from verbal abuse from drinkers outside the Brewdog premises, again I feel that the outside part of the application is inappropriate for the location and should not be granted. I can’t believe that people will keep within the Brewdog premises and not spill out possibly around our gateway smoking, which I think would lead to an intimidating situation for some of our residents.
I would like to add that this premises has already been subject to license creep in that when our development was first built these units were meant to be for retail only, then a restaurant licence was granted and now this is another step. Our residents who live above these units have been let down by the council here and the granting of this license would cause them worry and misery. As for the wider development we would have increased costs if we have to clear up after the night before ( more than we do already) and a level anxiety for our night staff which is unacceptable. I am also concerned that this is another step before Brewdog have the pure bar they really want.
Many thanks

RE: Premises Licence New: BrewDog Hopworks
Rep4
I object to this application. This end of Essex Road is a trouble spot for ASB and has a huge number of outlets selling alcohol most of them alcohol led. There are flats above and at the back of these premises and there are also residential prope1ties overlooking Islington green.
I have read the cumulative impact statement and would comment as follows on that and on the application.
One of the main points is that there will be a reduction in the licensed hours of trading from the cmTent licence. However the cmTent licence was for a restaurant this is a ve1y different business and for all the availability of stone baked pizzas it is an alcohol led based venture.
The application offers to restrict the number of clients to 77 internal and 24 external which is 101 in total. This is a lot of people and although it is said that there will be seating for 65 % there is no requirement that 65% should be seated so all 101 could stand. In order to seat than many they would have to be drinking as a party as there is an assumption of 6 to a table outside and 4 inside. It is therefore likely that a significant number will be standing.
Unless inside the tables marked 4 are 4 either side it is difficult to see how there is internal seating for 42 people but doubling up the "4 seater benches" would create 48 seats with some extra from the seating by the door and possibly at the poseur tables. The seating plan needs clarifying .
Although there is a comparison with Wenlock and Essex's prices that is a limited range of beers and is of beers with a lowish ABV.
If you look at the "Hop Propaganda" magazine which was handed out to residents it is clear that many of Brewdog's beers are high strength. Tropic Thunder- 7% Albina Squid Assassin-7.4% Expo1t Stout- 7.7% Yuzu-8.2% DIPA VII9% Clown Shoes Crasher in the Rye 11.5% Hop shot 22% Who knows the strength of the "home brew" kits which will be sampled. In addition there are a fmther 6 listed where the ABV is over 6%.
A drinker would not need much of any of these to become drnnk. In other establishments which sell these strength beers they only sell them in third pint glasses and only one drink of high strength beer. There is no such offer here.
Although there is an offer to close the outside seating at 1 Opm smokers could an would go outside creating noise. People leaving the venue would be noisy which would go on until 23:30.
It is unclear how much brewing will be unde1taken but this can be a smelly operation and the equipment will need regular attention. The outlet from the pizza oven will also require venting and could be smelly.
1
I would also que1y the planning situation. I understand the premises cmTently have an A3 use and this is not an A3 business. It is probably a drinking establishment which is A4 . Even if one accepts a large food provision is an AA use. It is possible that the mix of 3 uses A 1 A4 and AA requires a sui gen eris penmss1on.
The planning does not alter the fact that this is not an appropriate location for the business envisaged. The application should be refosed.

Dear Sir, I write to object to the granting of this application. I cannot do much better than to endorse the sentiments expressed in her letter of objection by-. I might add that the seemingly inexorable tide of alcoholic outlets is severely damaging to the nature of Camden Passage locality (which includes the Southern end of Essex Road). Only those ( usually from outside the borough) seeking solace in drink will now come to the area. The resultant damage to the lifestyle of residents and the trade of traditional shop keepers is inestimable. I should like to attend the meeting of the Licensing Committee. Yours faithfully,

Application name: BrewDog HopWorks (29-31 Essex Road, Islington, London N l 2SA)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I refer to the Licensing Act 2003 Premises Licence Application above.
I note that the applicant seeks pennission to use the pre1nises for brewing purposes and, more worrying, as a bar for up to 101 people to be able to consmne alcohol both inside the pre1nises and on the street outside the pre1nises without food. As the representative for Lilford Properties Litnited and Uptrend Holdings Litnited the owners for flats we finnly oppose this application.
We are concerned that turning �t into a bar will adversely affect the nature and character of the Angel on the Green development as a whole and o� particular. It will be almost itnpossible to quietly enjoy our living spaces on any given evening.
The presence of brewing equipment raises obvious issues of health and safety, not to mention increased insurance premiums due to increased risks.
No matter what procedures are put ill place it will create significant noise and nuisance issues inevitably exposing us to incidents of antisocial behaviour. With some of our tenants having young families this is pruticularly wonying.
We do not feel as thought this type of application is necessaiy for the ai·ea given the high number of similar businesses premises in the established areas for bai·s and restaurants ai·ound Islington. This merely encroaches farther on the more residential areas.

23 October 2017
Premises: BrewDog HopWorks, 29-31 Essex Road, Islington, London N1 2SA
Application: Licensing Act 2003 - premises licence application - new Representations from a resident who opposes the application
Rep 7
Your undated letter about BrewDog's application for a new licence and containing a submission deadline of 26 October was received by me on 18 October - for which many thanks. Pursuant to the invitation contained in your letter, I now write to provide you with my representations in respect of BrewDog's 'change of use' application. I make my submissions in the capacity of a resident living in the same building in which BrewDog is located.
Introduction
In summary, and for the reasons stated below, I oppose certain fundamental aspects of BrewDog's application. In particular, I object to any change of use or change of licence that:
1. would allow the premises, or the street immediately outside the premises, to be usedas a public house or bar in which alcohol can be purchased and consumed on-sitewithout a substantial meal (including in the street outside);
2. does not require proper and effective sound insulation measures to be installed (or,more accurately, reinstalled) in the premises in recognition of its immediate proximityto residential accommodation and the residential nature of the Angel on the Greendevelopment in which it is situated; or
3. permits deliveries, bottle collections, rubbish collections or noisy cleaning activities totake place at anti-social hours, including early in the morning, late in the evening or inthe middle of the night.
Background matters
BrewDog occupies premises on the ground floor of Roberts Court. Roberts Court forms part of the 'Angel on the Green' development. Angel on the Green is a residential development situated on Essex Road. The Angel on the Green development is located within Islington Council's Angel and Upper Street Cumulative Impact Plan Area.
My views
. My flat is locatedtly leased to Brew
, BrewDog's premises, I amrewDog's premises - hence my
Provided they are made conditions of any licence that is granted, I accept the assurancesthat BrewDog's managing director has now given to the residents of the Angel on the Greendevelopment (and in its application, also to Islington Council) that if BrewDog's application isgranted in any form, he will ensure that:
• the ceiling and the sound insulating and sound deadening measures which becauseof the residential accommodation above it were installed in the unit when it was builtand which without notice or the necessary permissions BrewDog stripped out of theunit when it acquired the lease from the previous occupier, Giraffe, are replaced andreinstalled before the unit opens for business; and
• responsible and effective operational practices are put into effect during the buildingworks and when the unit is open for business to ensure that there is no repeat of theseveral and considerable nuisances that were caused -residents when BrewDog first refurbished the uni an w en I previous yoperated it as a restaurant (including noise from the premises, noise from customersusing the street outside the premises, noise from heavy street furniture beingdragged outside and inside at anti-social hours, deliveries and collections (includingbottle smashing and rubbish collections) taking place in the middle of the night(including between 2.00 am and 6.00 am), and noisy cleaning activities taking placein the middle of the night (again between 2.00 am and 6.00 am).
As indicated above however, there are nevertheless aspects of BrewDog's application whichcause me grave concern and which I believe engage Islington Council's Licensing Policyand Cumulative Impact Plan for the Angel and Upper Street Area, in particular: (1) thelicensing objective that is intended to prevent public nuisances; and (2) the licensingobjectives that are designed to prevent disorder and ensure public safety.
Provided that:
(A) effective sound insulation measures are installed I re-installed in the unit to deadensound within the unit and to�eating from the unit or from the streetimmediately outside the unit-; and
(B) responsible and effective operating procedures are put in place to prevent noise andnuisances from the unit and from the street outside inconveniencing residents of- properties, and to prohibit deliveries and collections, including bottle and
collections, and noisy cleaning activities, at anti-social hours,
I have no objection to the unit being used as:
(a) a dining establishment which serves alcohol with proper meals of substance (such asthe proposed pizza menu) for consumption within the premises;
-2-
-3-
(b) an off-licence that sells alcohol for consumption off and away from the premises,provided it does not operate late into the evening or during the night; and/or
(c) educational purposes of the kind identified in BrewDog’s application, if both noiseand brewing smells are effectively controlled and managed.
I do, however, strongly oppose any change of use or change of licence that:
1. would allow the premises, or the street immediately outside the premises, to be usedas a public house or bar in which alcohol can be purchased and consumed on-sitewithout a substantial meal (including in the street outside);
2. does not require proper and effective sound insulation measures to be installed /reinstalled in the premises in recognition of its immediate proximity to residentialaccommodation and the residential nature of the development in which it is situated;or
3. permits deliveries, bottle and rubbish collections or noisy cleaning activities to takeplace at what are for residential purposes (if not for pub or bar purposes) anti-socialhours, namely early in the morning, in the evening and in the middle of the night.
Detailed representations
Each of the three areas of concern I identify above I elaborate upon below:
1 Public house / bar
1.1 This unit has already been subject to considerable licence ‘creep’. I am the original owner and occupier of my flat. I purchased it ‘off the plans’ before it was built. Before I agreed to buy it, I enquired what the unit would be used for. The developer told me that the planning permission was for retail use, that it would be a shop of a nature consistent with the nearby Camden Passage area and that it would be open during the day and not at night. After I brought my flat and moved in however Giraffe acquired the lease of the unit and operated it as a restaurant. Unbeknown to me therefore the developer or Giraffe must subsequently have applied for and been granted a change of use from retail to restaurant use.
1.2 There has already been therefore one material change of use in respect of this unit from (quiet) retail to (nosier) restaurant use. That previous change of use also resulted in the operator’s activities expanding from inside the unit only to include use of the street outside as well - something that would not have happened had it remained a retail outlet.
1.3 A further change now, from restaurant to public house / bar use, is, I submit, a change too far, and I object to it for these reasons:
1.3.1 Angel on the Green is a residential development. BrewDog knew that when it acquired its lease. Allowing part of the development now to be used as a ‘pub’ would retrospectively change the nature and character of the entire development. It would also be unfair on residents such as myself who would not have purchased their flats had they known they would later find themselves living directly above a pub and immediately next to groups of people drinking alcohol and smoking on the street outside. Because no-one wishes to live above or next to a pub, as well as impacting negatively on our enjoyment of our homes and on our private lives, such a retrospective change of use now would also affect our ability to sell our flats and thus the value of our flats.
1.3.2 One thing this area does not need is another pub. There are already a large number of drinking establishments of every description in the area. Alcohol fuelled noise, rubbish and, sometimes at night, and particularly at weekends, anti-social behaviour and public disorder, is already an issue for local residents. There is a place for pubs - just not inside what is, and what was conceived and marketed as, a residential development.
1.3.3 I am especially opposed to any change of use or licence that would allow people to drink or smoke on the street . The area in question is
s1 e rom e 1mpac a a owing s ree rm mg wou ave on e c aracter and amenity of the Angel on the Green
development as a whole, it would also cause noise and smoke issues for me in particular. Groups of people drinking outside other pubs in the area, including the Wenlock Pub, particularly at night, and especially at weekends, already creates a noise nuisance for local residents. Cigarette smoke permeating into our flats ............ would also be an issue. Allowing the street outside� by drinkers and smokers would not only create a noise nuisance, it would also mean that I can never open my windows.
1.3.4 Unlike eating a meal, which is a quiet and leisurely activity, drinking alcohol, particularly higher strength beers of the kind that BrewDog sells, causes people to become louder and more boisterous. Pub use, both inside the premises and on the street outside, has the potential to cause far more noise and greater nuisances to neighbours, including adjoining residents like myself, than other types of use. The higher risk nature of bar activities is evidenced by the fact that bars are heavily regulated, carefully licensed and required to employ SIA accredited door-men ('bouncers'). I note what BrewDog says in its application about its typical I target customer, but when it was previously operating this unit as a restaurant it was evident that it also attracts normal pub users, some of whom originate from other pubs in the immediate vicinity, including, and particularly at weekends, groups of young males on a night out. They might not be BrewDog's target customer, or its typical customer, but they were being attracted and they were being served when BrewDog's restaurant was in operation. Turning the premises into a pub or bar will only attract even more normal pub users.
2.1 The original sound insulation measures which were required to be built into the unit to protect the residential accommodation were effective at stopping noise from the unit for the several years when BrewDog's
2.2 When BrewDog acquired the lease however. the first thing it did was to substantially strip bare the whole of the inside of the unit ("gutting" was the word that its builders used to describe what they were doing when I and other residents spoke to them about noise issues). BrewDog has removed and not replaced the ceiling ..... ........ has also stripped back and hardened the whole o� �ering and exposing pipes and the like, which now make a loud 'tinny' sound when they are struck. Removing the original ceiling and the ceiling cavity within it, exposing pipes and generally hardening the interior has created a noise problem that was not present previously.
-4-
2.3 e s ree a rew og now w1s es I s cus omers o e a e o use or
rm mg a cohol and smoking. The use of the street by BrewDog's customers when it was operating as a restaurant created noise issues, particularly in the evening. BrewDog's staff dragging large and heavy pieces of street furniture outside in the morning and back inside again late at night because they were too heavy to lift and too bulky to be stored inside the unit when it was open for business, also created noise issues, particularly late at night.
3 Operational activities
3.1 The previous operator of the premises, Giraffe, voluntarily agreed not to use the street outside the unit before 9.00 am or after 8.00 pm, and not to put tables and chairs on the street before 9.00 pm and to take them inside again before 8.00 pm. Giraffe also instructed it supplies and its contractors that there were to be no deliveries or collections, including rubbish collections, before 9.00 am or after 8.00 pm. As a responsible and considerate operator, it did this notwithstanding the terms of its Street Licence and in order not to cause noise or nuisance issues for residents.
3.2 Because of the residential nature of the Angel on the Green development in which BrewDog is situated, and in light of the previous problems caused by BrewDog's use of the street and its middle of the night deliveries, collections and cleaning activities (as described above), if you are minded to accede to its application in any form, I request that you include similar time restrictions in respect of street use and operational activities as conditions in any licence you grant.
If I can assist further, please let me know.
Yours faithfully,

Subject: BREWDOG HOPWORKS LICENSING APPLICATION
Dear Sirs
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Brewdog Hopworks licensing application which is
a thinly veiled application for yet another drinking establishment that we do not need in this
nto the pavement area outside of Brewdog and am therefore
concerned that pavement drinking and smoking will create an unacceptable level of nuisance
seriously affecting my ability to open windows and therefore degrading my own quality of life. The
current levels of noise and antisocial behaviour emanating from the existing bars is already at an
unacceptable level and is getting worse nd
ustomers noise level and behaviour whilst drinking and
smoking outside their premises and when leaving. I have no wish to further add to this level of
disruption.
On that basis I would therefore hope that this application is declined.
