late-night refreshment
A Brick Lane restaurant withdrew its late-night refreshment bid in December 2025 due to Cumulative Impact Zone concerns.
An application for a late-night refreshment licence at a Brick Lane restaurant was withdrawn in December 2025 by Z&H One Rise Limited. Councillors at a Tower Hamlets Licensing Sub Committee meeting heard the application for 46 Brick Lane, but the applicants withdrew their request after concerns were raised about the area's Cumulative Impact Zone (CIZ).
The CIZ policy is in place to protect the local community from the impact of a high density of licensed premises. To be considered an exception to this policy in Brick Lane, an applicant needs to demonstrate why they should be granted a licence despite the policy. No further discussions or decisions on late-night refreshment licences are currently scheduled.
