The Licensing Sub-Committee D of Hackney Council met on Tuesday 16 June 2026 to consider applications for premises licences. The meeting's agenda included discussions on two specific premises licence applications and a standing item on Temporary Event Notices.

Premises Licence Application: 128 Kingsland High Street, E8 2NS (Dalston Ward)

The committee was scheduled to consider an application for a premises licence for 128 Kingsland High Street, E8 2NS, in the Dalston ward. The application, made by Mr Malek Taheri, sought authorisation for the provision of late-night refreshment from Monday to Saturday, with proposed opening hours extending into the early hours of the morning on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The applicant had amended the requested hours for late-night refreshment and opening times following discussions with the police.

Representations were received from responsible authorities, including the Licensing Authority, which raised concerns about the potential negative impact of the proposed hours on the licensing objectives, particularly given the proximity of residential premises and the area's existing night-time economy. The Police had initially made a representation but subsequently withdrew it based on the amended hours and agreed conditions. The Environmental Health Authority (Environmental Enforcement) also withdrew its representation following agreed conditions.

Additionally, two representations were received from local residents, citing concerns related to the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. These residents highlighted the premises' location in a highly residential area, its proximity to an off-licence, and its position on a route frequently used by patrons of late-night venues. They expressed concerns about potential anti-social behaviour, litter, noise, and vermin.

The report pack outlined proposed conditions to be attached to the licence if granted, covering aspects such as CCTV operation, incident logging, waste management, and staff training. These conditions were agreed upon with the Police and Environmental Enforcement. The committee was presented with two options for decision: to refuse the application or to approve it with necessary conditions.

Premises Licence Application: Krankbrother Street Party, Wilson Street (between Dysart Street and Sun Street), EC2A 2ER (Hoxton East and Shoreditch Ward)

The committee was also scheduled to consider an application for a Premises Licence for a street party event organised by Krankbrother Ltd at Wilson Street, between Dysart Street and Sun Street, EC2A 2ER, in the Hoxton East and Shoreditch ward. This application was for a one-day event to be held on a Saturday between 1st May and 30th September annually, with event timings from 12:00 to 22:00. The requested licensable activities included live music outdoors, recorded music outdoors, performance of dance outdoors, supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises, and opening hours for the premises.

No representations were received from most responsible authorities, including Environmental Health, Weights and Measures, the Planning Authority, the Area Child Protection Officer, the Fire Authority, the Police, the Licensing Authority, and the Health Authority. However, the Environmental Health Authority (Environmental Protection) requested the submission of a Post Event Noise Report for departmental records.

One representation was received from local residents, citing concerns regarding public safety and the prevention of public nuisance. This resident, who identified as a local homeowner, expressed that previous similar events had caused considerable noise and disruption, making it impossible to enjoy outdoor space or keep windows open. They stated that the event was no longer suitable for the area due to its increasingly residential character and suggested it would be more appropriate for larger open spaces. The resident proposed strict new controls if the licence were granted, including a reduction in noise levels, earlier finishing times, and provisions for local residents to attend or be compensated for their disruption.

The officer's observations detailed mandatory conditions related to the supply of alcohol, door supervision, and conditions derived from the applicant's operating schedule. These included requirements for an Event Safety Management Plan, a fenced perimeter with controlled access, a Challenge 25 policy, provision of free drinking water, and on-site waste management and cleaning. The committee was presented with two options: to refuse the application or to approve it with necessary conditions.

Temporary Event Notices (Standing Item)

The committee also had a standing item on its agenda to consider Temporary Event Notices (TENs). However, no specific details regarding any TENs to be discussed were provided in the publicly available documents.
