Licensing Sub Committee D of Hackney Council is scheduled to meet on Wednesday 1 October 2025 to discuss several licensing issues. These include applications for a new premises licence, and to vary an existing premises licence, as well as a standing item on temporary event notices. The meeting will also cover procedural matters such as the election of a chair and review of the minutes from the previous meeting.

Application to Vary a Premises Licence: QQ Grill Restaurant and Lounge

The sub-committee is scheduled to consider an application to vary a premises licence for QQ Grill Restaurant and Lounge, located at 331 Wick Road, London, E9 5DH.

According to the agenda, when making decisions on variation applications, the sub-committee can modify conditions on the licence or reject the application, and will consider the impact of the proposed variation. The LSC Report-331 Wick Road-Variation 1 document states that representations should focus on the impact of the variation, although concerns relating to the existing terms of the licence may be relevant in considering the applicant's track record.

Application for a Premises Licence: Basement, 201-203 Hackney Road

The sub-committee is scheduled to discuss an application for a premises licence for Basement, located at 201-203 Hackney Road London E2 8JL. According to the agenda, for new applications relating to Premises Licences, the sub-committee can grant the licence with additional conditions, exclude licensable activities, refuse a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) if appropriate, or reject the application.

Temporary Event Notices

The sub-committee is scheduled to address temporary event notices (TENs) as a standing item. The agenda notes that when considering an objection to a TEN, the council will assess any history of complaints, consider the track record of the premises user, and consider any other control measures proposed to mitigate the objection.
