Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Bury and are not the council. About us

The Licensing Hearing Sub Committee of Bury Council was scheduled to consider an application for a premises licence for Pizza Go Go in Prestwich. The committee was also scheduled to review the minutes from previous meetings.

Application for a Premises Licence for Pizza Go Go

The committee was scheduled to consider an application for a premises licence for Pizza Go Go, located at 56 Bury New Road, Prestwich, M25 0JU. The application, submitted by Mr Mansour Gholami, sought permission for the premises to operate as a late-night refreshment venue, with proposed opening hours from 11:30 to 04:30, Monday to Sunday. The provision for late-night refreshment (indoor and outdoor) was requested between 23:00 and 04:00.

Representations were expected from Environmental Health, a responsible authority, and an interested party. Environmental Health's representation raised concerns about potential public nuisance due to increased customer activity and delivery platform drivers during the early hours, citing the proximity to residential properties. An interested party, Councillor Alan Quinn, also objected, citing concerns about public nuisance from vehicle noise and premises operations, as well as potential for crime and disorder due to late opening hours attracting intoxicated individuals.

The report pack indicated that the committee had several options for its decision: to grant the application as requested, grant it with conditions, amend or modify existing conditions, or refuse the application. The committee was advised to consider the application on its individual merits, promoting the four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. The report also highlighted the importance of adhering to national guidance and the Council's licensing policy statement.

Minutes of Previous Meetings

The committee was also scheduled to review the minutes from its previous meetings held on 17 August 2026 and 27 August 2026. These minutes would have detailed discussions and decisions from those earlier sessions.
