Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee

10 stories · discussed at 1 council meeting · 1 council

The Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee is currently deciding on premises licences and reviewing existing ones, often addressing resident concerns.

In September 2026, the Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee granted a licence to Mother Mash restaurant despite resident concerns about public nuisance and congestion. The committee also modified The Champion pub's licence conditions following resident complaints about public nuisance and child safety. Earlier, in July 2026, the committee heard a review of No. Fifty Cheyne's licence due to resident complaints about noise and nuisance.

The committee, which is responsible for granting and reviewing licences in the borough, regularly considers applications for new premises licences and variations, such as for Dajoo restaurant in June 2026. These discussions frequently involve addressing objections from residents and groups regarding potential noise, traffic, and public safety issues.

No upcoming meetings for the Kensington and Chelsea Licensing Sub-Committee have been announced. In 2025, the committee also addressed several Temporary Event Notices for alcohol sales during the Notting Hill Carnival, which faced objections from police and environmental health teams.
