Ealing's Licensing Committee has approved an alcohol license for Casa, located at 165 Dukes Road, Acton, W3 0SL, subject to specific conditions. The decision was made during the Licensing Committee meeting on Wednesday, 25 June 2025, where the committee reviewed licensing sub-committee decisions made between April and June 2025.

The approval is part of a broader update on licensing sub-committee decisions, as detailed in the Licensing Committe Report 25 June 2025 - Hearing Update TENs.pdf. According to the report, the Licensing Act 2003 provides the regulatory framework for the sale of alcohol, regulated entertainment, and late-night refreshment. The committee handles applications where representations have been received.

During the same period, the committee refused new premises licenses for Bocian Supermarket at 130 - 132 Uxbridge Road, Hanwell W7 3SL, and A Star Retail at 10 King Street, Southall, UB2 4DA. Additionally, the license for Little Ealing Convenience, located at 2a The Quadrant, Little Ealing Lane, Ealing W5 4EE, was revoked following a review. Conditions were also imposed on the license for Costcutter T/a Best Foods, situated at 512-516 Lady Margaret Road Southall, UB1 2NP.

The committee, chaired by Councillor Munir Ahmed, also received an update on temporary event notices (TENs). The Public reports pack Wednesday 25-Jun-2025 19.00 Licensing Committee.pdf notes that TENs are commonly used for small-scale events like community festivals and private parties, allowing licensable activities at unlicensed premises or for activities outside an existing license. A TEN must be submitted at least 10 clear working days before the event.

At the previous meeting on 29 April 2025, Joe Blanchard, Head of Environmental Health and Trading Standards, presented a report summarizing licensing activity over the past financial year. The Printed minutes 29042025 1900 Licensing Committee.pdf show that premises license applications had increased by 20% compared to the previous year, while temporary event notices were down by a third. A new licensing policy is scheduled to come into effect in July, with key changes including the redrawing of special policy areas, joining the Ealing and Hanwell zones into a single West Ealing corridor.
