application for a new premises licence
Councils considered several new premises licence applications in 2025, often facing objections over public nuisance and safety concerns.
In September 2025, Waltham Forest Council's Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee postponed the review of Blondies Brewery's application for a new premises licence, following concerns raised by the council's Licensing Team. Earlier, in August 2025, Bromley Council's Licensing Sub-Committee discussed Pierluigi's Pasta Fresca's application, which faced strong opposition from the Metropolitan Police and other authorities.
In July 2025, Richmond upon Thames Council's Licensing Sub-Committee deferred an application for SD Food & Wine due to resident objections regarding public safety and potential disturbances. Also in July 2025, Islington's Licensing Sub Committee C discussed Jiak Malaysian Street Food's application, where residents voiced concerns about potential late-night noise and anti-social behaviour.
Applications for a new premises licence allow venues to conduct activities such as selling alcohol, playing music, or operating with extended hours. These applications are reviewed by council licensing sub-committees, which consider proposals and any objections raised. No upcoming meetings regarding these applications have been supplied.
