Licensing Sub Committee - Tuesday, 12th November, 2024 6.30 p.m.

Licensing Sub Committee - Tuesday, 29th October, 2024 2.30 p.m.

The Licensing Sub-committee considered two applications for new premises licences: one for the Tea Garden at 138 Whitechapel Road, London, to provide late-night refreshment, and the other for the Quiz Room at Ground Floor Brodie House, 19-25 Bell Lane, London, to sell alcohol and provide regulated entertainment. The first application was rejected on the basis that the applicant had not demonstrated how they would uphold the licensing objectives, having previously been the subject of enforcement action by the Licensing Authority for opening beyond their permitted hours and selling illicit cigarettes. The second application was granted, but with additional conditions to mitigate the concerns of local residents and the Licensing Authority regarding public nuisance.
