premises licence application
In 2025, councils considered various premises licence applications, with discussions focusing on extended operating hours and concerns about noise, crime, and public nuisance.
In September 2025, Westminster's Licensing Sub-Committee reviewed an application from Iconic Locations Paddington Co. Ltd for a restaurant on Paddington Square, seeking permission for alcohol sales and late-night refreshment until 02:00. Residents had raised concerns about potential noise and disruption. Redbridge Council also considered applications for late-night refreshment until 3:00 AM from Rio's Piri Piri and Popeyes in July 2025, with local authorities, including the Metropolitan Police Licensing, citing concerns about crime, public nuisance, and health for the Popeyes application.
These applications were for premises licences, which permit activities such as late-night refreshment or alcohol sales at a specific location. In July 2025, Greenwich Council's Licensing Sub-Committee B reviewed an application from AA Retail Ltd for a location on Herbert Road. No further developments or upcoming meetings regarding premises licence applications have been reported since these events in 2025.
