new premises licence application
Councils are reviewing new premises licence applications, often facing resident concerns over extended hours and potential disturbances.
Councils are currently reviewing new premises licence applications, which are legal permits to sell alcohol and provide entertainment. In November 2025, Islington Council's Licensing Sub Committee A reviewed an application from Amnesty International UK for its headquarters to host events with regulated entertainment and alcohol sales, with the organisation engaging local residents. In October 2025, Westminster Council's Licensing Sub-Committee began reviewing an application from JJ & Team Limited for Pizza Hut Delivery to extend late-night refreshment hours until 2 AM, amidst concerns from local residents.
Earlier, in August 2025, Newham Council's Licensing Sub-Committee considered an application from DL Food & Drink Ltd for The Cause nightclub to operate until 06:00 on Friday and Saturday nights, which met resistance from residents and ward councillors over noise. Also in August 2025, residents raised concerns about potential noise, anti-social behaviour, and traffic regarding Corinthian Casuals Football Club's application to extend its licensable area at King George's Field.
