The Imperial Restaurant & Bar on Birchington Road, London, is seeking a variation to its premises licence, which will be discussed at the Camden Council Licensing Panel A meeting on 18 December 2025. The Licensing Panel A will consider a report regarding the application to vary the premises licence under Section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003.
The Licensing Panel A, composed of Councillor Shah Miah (Chair), Councillor Sharon Hardwick, and Councillor Patricia Leman (Deputy Mayor), will convene to review the application under Section 34 of the Licensing Act 2003. The meeting, accessible to the public via webcast, will address several key items, including procedure rules for remote meetings.
The agenda for the meeting, detailed in the Agenda Frontsheet, includes apologies for absence, declarations of interest, and approval of the minutes from the previous meeting held on 13 November 2025, which can be found in the Minutes of Previous Meeting.
The panel will also adhere to the Guidance on Remote Meetings, ensuring that all participants, including councillors, officers, and external partners, follow the established procedure rules. These rules cover preparation, conduct, and handling of confidential items during the remote session.
The Imperial Resturant Bar Variation Report and Imperial Resturant Appendices provide further information on the application.
According to the Agenda Frontsheet, Councillor Shah Miah, as Chair, may address any urgent items that arise. The meeting may be closed to the public and press if it involves consideration of exempt information within the meaning of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, or information confidential within the meaning of Section 100(A)(2) of the Act. Specifically, publicity in respect of an item would be likely to lead to the disclosure of either information relating to any individual in accordance with paragraph 1 of schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 or information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings in accordance with paragraph 5 of schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, and the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
