licensing objective
Tower Hamlets Council is considering how to balance business operating hours with public nuisance concerns when applying licensing objectives.
In January 2026, Tower Hamlets Licensing Sub Committee postponed a decision on extending operating hours for Mario's Pizza, citing public nuisance concerns and previous licence breaches. The applicant had sought to extend late-night refreshment hours to 4:00 AM seven days a week.
Licensing objectives are the principles licensing authorities must promote under the Licensing Act 2003, including preventing crime and disorder, ensuring public safety, preventing public nuisance, and protecting children from harm.
