LP3 Core Hours
Hackney Council's licensing sub-committees are considering applications for extended operating hours for premises, often exceeding the LP3 Core Hours policy, amid various objections.
Hackney Council's Licensing Sub Committee C granted The Last Tuesday Society a licence extension in August 2025, despite resident concerns about potential crime and public nuisance. Separately, in July 2025, Licensing Sub Committee D considered applications from Brim Burgers Dalston and Sun Cafe for extended late-night refreshment and alcohol hours, which exceed the LP3 Core Hours policy.
The applications for extended hours have faced resistance from various bodies. The Environmental Health Authority and Licensing Authority raised concerns about Brim Burgers Dalston's proposal, while the Metropolitan Police and Licensing Authority opposed Sun Cafe's requested variations. Residents also voiced concerns regarding The Last Tuesday Society's extension.
LP3 Core Hours is Hackney Council's licensing policy outlining standard operating times for licensed premises. This policy sets core hours, for example, until 23:00 Monday to Thursday and 00:00 on Friday and Saturday, which applicants often seek to extend.
