Jays Food and Wine, 117 Nelson Road, Twickenham, TW2 7AZ

The primary item scheduled for discussion was an opposed application for a new premises licence for Jays Food and Wine, located at 117 Nelson Road, Twickenham, TW2 7AZ. The application proposed the sale of alcohol for off-premises consumption between 08:00 and 23:00, Monday to Sunday, with the premises also open to the public during these hours.

The report pack indicated that the application had received one relevant representation from a local resident, who expressed concerns about potential increases in noise, litter, public drinking, and anti-social behaviour. The Metropolitan Police Authority, however, did not make a representation after the applicant agreed to a set of conditions designed to promote the four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. These agreed conditions, detailed in Appendix B of the report pack, included measures such as the installation of a comprehensive CCTV system, staff training in responsible alcohol retailing, and a Challenge 25 policy for age verification.

The report pack also outlined the procedure for hearings held under the Licensing Act 2003¹, which would guide how the Sub-Committee would consider the application. This procedure details the introduction of attendees, confirmation of prerequisites, declarations of interest, and the order in which parties would present their cases. The Sub-Committee was scheduled to retire to discuss the application and make a decision by majority vote.

The report pack also included the minutes of the previous Licensing Sub-Committee meeting held on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, which were scheduled for approval.
