The Licensing Sub-Committee of Redbridge Council met on Thursday, 1 October 2026, to consider an application for three Temporary Event Notices (TENs) for the premises Khaba, located at Unit 2, 210 Ilford Lane, IG1 2LW. The meeting's agenda also included procedural matters related to licensing hearings.

Application for Temporary Event Notices at Khaba

The primary focus of the meeting was the consideration of three Temporary Event Notices (TENs) submitted for the premises known as Khaba. These notices, submitted by Mr. Atta Sajid Khan, acting through his agent Shahin Yusuf of The Licensing Lab, requested permission to extend licensable activities for late-night refreshment.

The proposed events were scheduled to take place during the following periods:

• Sunday, 14 February 2027 to Saturday, 20 February 2027
• Monday, 22 February 2027 to Sunday, 28 February 2027
• Tuesday, 02 March 2027 to Monday, 08 March 2027

For each of these periods, the application sought to extend the terminal hours for the provision of late-night refreshment, specifically for the sale of hot food and drinks (no alcohol), between the hours of 00:01 and 05:00 each day. The nature of the events was described as being for the extension of trading hours during Ramadhan. The notices indicated a maximum capacity of 45 persons, including staff, for all three events.

Objection notices were received from the Community Protection Task Force (Noise) on behalf of the London Borough of Redbridge. The objections were based on concerns that the granting of these TENs could undermine the licensing objectives, specifically the prevention of public nuisance, prevention of crime and disorder, and public safety.

The report pack outlined the procedure for licensing hearings, which would involve the presentation of the case by the applicant, followed by questioning from responsible authorities and the Sub-Committee. The procedure would then be repeated for any responsible authorities making representations, followed by summing up. The Sub-Committee would then decide the matter in private.

The report also detailed the requirements for a Temporary Event Notice under Section 100 of the Licensing Act 2003¹, the council's Statement of Licensing Policy², and the legal implications under the Human Rights Act 1998³. The recommendations presented to the Sub-Committee were to decide whether to allow the Temporary Events to take place, allow them with existing premises licence conditions imposed, or issue a counter notice.

The meeting agenda also included standard procedural items such as apologies for absence, election of a chair, and declarations of interest.
