The Licensing Sub Committee C of Hackney Council met to consider two applications for new premises licences. There were also no temporary event notices scheduled for discussion.

89 Kingsland High Street, London, E8 2PB

Councillors were scheduled to consider an application for a new premises licence for 89 Kingsland High Street from Mr Ali Ender Cemgil.

The application requested permission for the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises from 11:00 to 00:00 Sunday to Tuesday, 11:00 to 01:00 Wednesday and from 11:00 to 02:00 Thursday to Saturday.

The applicant had proposed that the premises would operate as a Bar/Café.

The Metropolitan Police and the Licensing Authority raised concerns about the application.

The Metropolitan Police's representative, PC Amanda Griggs, objected to the application on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance. In particular PC Griggs noted that:

These hours are outside the Core Hours as stipulated in Hackneys Licensing Policy at LP3 and at this time the applicant has not identified any risks associated with these later hours or provided any measures to mitigate these risks.

The Licensing Authority also objected to the application on the grounds of the prevention of public nuisance, arguing that:

The premises has close proximity to residential addresses located directly above the premises and neighbouring premises. Operating to the hours sought in the application may lead to the Prevention of Public Nuisance licensing objective being undermined.

Objections were also received from a local resident.

4 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8DA

Councillors were scheduled to consider an application for a new premises licence for 4 Kingsland Road from Mr Qais Safi.

The application requested permission for the supply of alcohol for consumption off the premises from 08:00 - 23:00 every day.

The Metropolitan Police and the Licensing Authority both objected to the application.

The Metropolitan Police objected on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder, and the prevention of public nuisance.

The Licensing Authority objected on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder, and the prevention of public nuisance.

Two representations were received from local residents objecting to the application.
