Islington Council continues to make licensing decisions within the Clerkenwell Cumulative Impact Area, recently granting a new licence despite resident concerns.
Islington Council's Licensing Sub Committee D granted a new premises licence to Passione Vino at 58 Exmouth Market in August 2025, despite concerns from local residents about potential noise nuisances. The licence permits alcohol sales until 23:00 Sunday to Thursday and 00:00 Friday and Saturday, with late night refreshment also allowed on weekends. The sub-committee considered the Licensing Act 2003 and national guidance.
The Clerkenwell Cumulative Impact Area is a designated zone in Islington where stricter licensing rules apply due to a high concentration of licensed premises. This framework guides decisions on new applications, such as the recent one for Passione Vino, as the council balances new proposals with local community concerns.
