The Licensing (2003 Act) Sub-Committee is scheduled to consider a new premises licence application for an outdoor event space. The committee will also hear representations from various parties regarding the application.

Radiate Festival at Beckton District Park South

The main item for discussion is an application to grant a new premises licence for Beckton District Park South, Stansfeld Road, Beckton, E6 5LT, for the Radiate Festival . The applicant, Radiate Festival Ltd, is seeking to establish a multi-function, open-air event space for various licensable activities throughout the year.

The proposed licensable activities include the supply of alcohol (both on and off-premises) and regulated entertainment such as plays, films, indoor sporting events, boxing or wrestling, live music, recorded music, and dance. These activities are proposed to run from Monday to Sunday, between 09:00 and 23:00. The application outlines a maximum capacity of 4,999 persons on site at any one time, with plans for larger events to be pre-agreed with the landowner.

Representations have been made against the application by Highways & Sustainable Transport, citing concerns regarding the prevention of public nuisance. The Council Licensing Team has also made representations on the grounds of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance, public safety, and the protection of children from harm. Mediation has taken place between the parties involved.

The report pack includes detailed information on the proposed operating schedule, event management plans, and measures 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. Specific attention is given to traffic management, parking, crowd control, noise management, and alcohol sales, with detailed plans for managing these aspects throughout the proposed events.

The committee is asked to hear the application and all valid representations before determining the application.
