The Committee decided to GRANT the application:

 

The granting of the application was subject to the following conditions, (agreed between the Applicant, the Metropolitan Police Authority and Bromley Safeguarding Children’s Partnership), to address the Crime and Disorder objective and the Protection of Children from Harm objective:

 

Install and maintain a CCTV system covering the entrances, internal areas and external areas of the premises. Recordings shall be stored for a minimum of 28 days and CCTV images shall be delivered to the Police or Council Officers on request. One of these CCTV cameras should be installed at the entrance door--to provide head and shoulder images to an identification standard. The image should be captured of each person as they entered the premises.

 

Ensure a member of staff trained in the use of the CCTV system must be available at the premises at all times that the premises are open to the public and CCTV signage is clearly displayed.

 

A photographic ID computer based entry system is to be installed and maintained. It will be effectively managed and used to its full potential. The system is to be capable of sharing information with other venues. It will also be able to identify the authenticity of identity documents to a reasonable standard. The system will be in operation at all times that the venue is open and engaging in licensable activities. All patrons, staff, DJs, performers and ancillary staff that enter the premises will have their ID documents ‘scanned in’ or may have ‘biometric’ fingerprint membership once their details are recorded on the system. The details shall be stored for a minimum of 31 days and be made available on the request of a Police Officer for the purposes of preventing, detecting or investigating crime.

 

Persons refusing to supply identity documents or refusing to submit them for scanning into the photographic ID computer based system (club scan) will be refused entry (they shall also be refused entry if they refuse to pass through the system in any other way - photograph, fingerprint scan etc) (The club is to draw up a ‘contingency plan’ in the event of a club scan failure beyond their control - example; software failure).

 

A drug policy document is to be drawn up in consultation with Police and Council officers. Once agreed, it is to be implemented in full. (Consideration given to, but not limited to; the designing out of any flat surface within toilet cubicles, the placement of CCTV cameras to cover the public area  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
