Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee

Grant of a premises licence at St James’s Food Store, 44 St James’s Street, Walthamstow, London E17 7PE, Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee - Thursday, 30th January, 2025 10.00 am

The Licensing Sub-Committee met to determine an application for the grant of a new premises licence for St James's Food Store, 44 St James's Street in Walthamstow. The Sub-Committee decided to reject the application due to the applicant's close family ties to the previous licence holder, whose licence had been revoked due to serious breaches of the licensing objectives, and their view that, given the short time that had elapsed, the business was essentially being managed in the same manner.
