4. Two representations were received from
local Councillors, James Walsh and John Muldoon, on the grounds
that the application does not promote the Licensing Objectives of
the prevention of public nuisance and the prevention of crime and
disorder. The representations were received within the specified
time, were examined by Officers and were not considered to be
vexatious or frivolous.

There were no representations received from any Responsible

Policy was the subject of an eight-page Supplementary Agenda, which
was circulated to the participants.
7. In the afternoon of the 2nd October 2025 a
document entitled ‘KFC suggested conditions from Cllr Walsh
with comments from the Applicant’s representative’ was
circulated to members of the sub-Committee and Cllr Walsh. It sets
out the
conditions that the Applicant is willing to
agree and also those it does not agree giving the reasons for
this.

Councillors who had submitted written representations objecting to
the grant of the licence, attended, only Cllr James Walsh, spoke at
the meeting. He was allowed an equal amount of time and answered
the questions put to him by Members. The Applicant’s
solicitor was given an opportunity at the end to briefly sum up and
then the objecting Councillor was given the same
opportunity.
8. In making its decision the Sub-Committee
has considered all the papers contained in the report pack and
submitted documents, including written submissions, together with
the oral submissions presented by the Applicant’s solicitor
and the Councillor objector at the hearing. The Sub-Committee also

grant the Premises Licence for late night refreshment for the hours
requested, subject to the conditions offered with the Application
and the additional conditions agreed by the Applicant (See
‘KFC Catford, 158 Rushey Green - Conditions Agreed by
Applicant’ enclosed).
10. The Sub-Committee’s reasons for
taking this decision are:
a.
The Sub-Committee noted that the conditions
offered with the Application together with the additional
conditions agreed by the operator were appropriate and necessary to
promote the licencing objectives. No further conditions were
required.
b.
The Sub-Committee noted that on the Premises
becoming operational, if the licence conditions were not complied
with it was open for any person to instigate the licence review
process.
11. There is a right of appeal against this
decision. Any appeal should be made to the Magistrates’ court
within 21 days beginning with the day on which the Appellant was
notified of the decision.
Any person who has given notice of appeal on a
licensing decision to the Magistrates Court, or is considering
doing so, should not approach council officers for legal advice. A
person making an appeal should seek independent legal advice, for
instance, from a firm of solicitors or the local Citizens Advice
Bureau may be able to assist.
