Licensing Act 2003
Councils are currently deciding on premises licence applications and reviews, often in response to concerns about public nuisance or crime.
In November 2026, Waltham Forest's Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee refused a 3am premises licence for Wraps & Wings after residents complained of noise and anti-social behaviour. The sub-committee also imposed additional conditions on The Castle public house licence to address public nuisance concerns. In the same month, Richmond upon Thames' Regulatory Committee approved a draft Statement of Licensing Policy for consultation.
Brent's Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider a premises licence review for Wazir Food & Wine in November 2026, following a police closure order. Hillingdon's Licensing Sub-Committee was also scheduled to consider a licence review for Venue 5 in November 2026. Upcoming meetings in November 2026 include further sessions of Brent's and Waltham Forest's Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committees, and Newham's Licensing (2003 Act) Sub-Committee.
The Licensing Act 2003 is UK legislation governing the licensing of premises for the sale of alcohol, provision of regulated entertainment, or late-night refreshment. Local authorities, such as London boroughs, are responsible for issuing these premises licences and reviewing them.
