The Licensing Sub-Committee of Hammersmith and Fulham Council convened on 18 June 2024 to discuss licensing applications for Tops Pizza at 74 Fulham Road and 472 Fulham Road. The committee approved the application for Tops Pizza at 74 Fulham Road with additional conditions, while the application for 472 Fulham Road was deferred for further review.

Tops Pizza, 74 Fulham Road

The primary focus of the meeting was the licensing application for Tops Pizza at 74 Fulham Road. The application sought to extend the operating hours and include the sale of alcohol. The committee reviewed several documents, including the current licence and plan, the application plan, and the agreed additional conditions.

Local residents expressed concerns about potential noise and anti-social behaviour. One resident stated, The extended hours will inevitably lead to increased noise levels, which will disturb the peace of our neighbourhood. The committee acknowledged these concerns but decided to approve the application with additional conditions to mitigate the impact on the community. These conditions include stricter noise control measures and limitations on the sale of alcohol.

472 Fulham Road

The committee also reviewed the licensing application for 472 Fulham Road. The application aimed to introduce late-night refreshment services. The committee examined the committee report and supporting documents, including the application and plan and representations from the public.

Several objections were raised by local residents and businesses, citing concerns about increased foot traffic and potential disturbances. A local business owner remarked, The introduction of late-night services will attract more people to the area, which could lead to more litter and noise. Due to these concerns, the committee decided to defer the decision, requesting additional information and further consultation with the community.

Additional Information and Documents

The committee also reviewed supplementary documents, including additional information from the applicant and objectors. These documents provided further context and helped the committee in their decision-making process.
