The application concerns licensing for regulated entertainment, sale of alcohol and late night refreshment for this exclusive members club. This was successfully obtained following significant negotiation with local residents, heritage bodies, significant stakeholders, and the police. The club will occupy a 19th century Regency warehouse and will comprise 68 bedrooms in addition to a brasserie, bars, a library, a screening room, a private garden and a spa.

I am grateful to the police and others for working so proactively with us on this project and it highlights the quality of such a proposed venue that the officers of the council were happy with the proposals from the outset.” **Ian Palmer, General Manager of Devonshire Club, said:** “We are delighted to have been given the go-ahead by the City of London Corporation.
