Licensing (2003 Act) Sub-Committee - Monday 2nd December 2024 10.00 a.m.
The Licensing (2003 Act) Sub-Committee met to consider an application from Food & Wine Cross at 169 High Street North in East Ham to vary the conditions on its licence, which had been imposed in June 2024 following problems with street drinking. The Sub-Committee refused the application to remove the requirement for sales of spirits to be in bottles larger than 35cl, and for single cans and bottles of beer, lager, and cider, with a volume of 500ml or less, to be sold in packs of at least two. However, the Sub-Committee agreed to the removal of the requirement for all bottles of alcohol to be marked with the name and address of the shop. The Sub-Committee also agreed to amend the condition requiring the licensee to have a personal licence holder on the premises at all times, so that a nominated person could be present instead, and to change the wording of the condition regarding CCTV, so that immediate access must be provided to officers on request, with any download being provided within 24 hours.
