The Licensing Sub-Committee of Bromley Council was scheduled to consider two applications for premises licences. These applications were for a new premises licence for New Threshers and a new premises licence for Royal Café/Pizza & Kebab Centre.

Application for Premises Licence - New Threshers

The committee was scheduled to consider an application by Mr Wimaladas for a premises licence for New Threshers, located at 199 Southborough Lane, Bromley BR2 8AR. The application proposed the sale of alcohol for off-premises consumption between 08:00 and 23:00, Monday to Sunday. The report pack indicated that there were letters of objection to this application, which were attached as an appendix. The committee members were asked to decide on the application, with options including granting it as made, granting it with conditions or restrictions, or refusing it. The report also referenced Bromley's Statement of Licensing Policy for 2008-2011, which the committee was required to consider. The decision was noted to have potential implications for the Safer Communities, A Quality Environment, and Vibrant thriving Town Centres areas of the Building a Better Bromley Strategy.

Application for New Premises Licence - Royal Café/Pizza & Kebab Centre

The committee was also scheduled to review an application by Mr OZBIL BILEN for a new premises licence at the Royal Café/Pizza & Kebab Centre, located at 115 High Street, Farnborough BR6 7A2. The proposed hours included late-night refreshment from 23:00 to 00:00 daily, and the supply of alcohol for on-premises consumption from 12:00 to 23:00 daily. The premises were proposed to be open to the public from 07:00 to 00:00 on Mondays to Fridays, 09:00 to 00:00 on Saturdays, and 11:00 to 00:00 on Sundays. Similar to the previous application, the committee members were to decide on the application, with the options of granting it as made, granting it with conditions or restrictions, or refusing it. The report pack noted that there were letters of objection to this application. The report also highlighted that Mr Bilen had been trading continuously since 2005 without a licence. The decision was also noted to have implications for the Building a Better Bromley Strategy.

Both applications were to be considered under the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003¹, which outlines the requirements for premises licences for activities such as the provision of regulated entertainment, late-night refreshment, and the supply of alcohol.
