The Licensing Sub-Committee of Wandsworth Council met on Thursday 6 August 2026 to consider an application for a new premises licence for Br3wery at 97 Moyser Road, London SW16 6SJ. The committee decided to grant the licence with modified conditions, including a noise management plan and restrictions on outdoor area usage.

New Premises Licence for Br3wery

The Licensing Sub-Committee considered an application for a new premises licence for Br3wery, located at 97 Moyser Road, London SW16 6SJ. The application sought permission for the retail sale of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises. The proposed hours were from 12:00 to 22:30 on Sundays to Thursdays, and 12:00 to 23:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.

The application had attracted 19 objections from local residents, primarily concerning noise nuisance from patrons in the outdoor areas and during dispersal, as well as concerns about potential increases in anti-social behaviour and litter. Three representations were received in support of the application, highlighting the business's positive contribution to the local community and its responsible management.

During the meeting, the applicant's solicitor, Sarah Louise Taylor, explained that Br3wery had been operating under a shared licence with a neighbouring premises, Hazel's, and that this application was to establish a separate licence for clarity and operational efficiency. She emphasised that Br3wery is a low-key, family-friendly taproom, not a nightclub, and that the operators have a strong track record of responsible management across their other premises.

Councillor Leonie Cooper, representing Furzedown Ward, spoke on behalf of local residents, acknowledging the popularity of Br3wery but reiterating concerns about noise emanating from the rear garden. She suggested that physical noise mitigation measures, such as a higher fence and large umbrellas, could help address these issues. Faith Woodruff and Debbie Morey, local residents, also spoke, detailing the impact of noise on their sleep and quality of life, and expressing concerns about the potential for increased disturbance with extended hours. They highlighted that the noise was primarily from voices and not amplified music.

The committee discussed the proposed hours and conditions, with particular attention paid to the management of the outdoor areas and the prevention of public nuisance. The applicant's solicitor proposed the implementation of a noise management plan as a condition of the licence, which would allow for flexibility in testing and implementing noise mitigation measures.

The committee ultimately decided to grant the licence but with modifications to the proposed conditions. These modifications included the requirement for a noise management plan to be developed and implemented, and specific restrictions on the use of the outdoor areas to mitigate noise nuisance. The exact details of the decision and any rights of appeal will be confirmed in writing within five working days.

The meeting was chaired by Councillor Tom Mytton, with Councillors Sheila Boswell and Jonathan Iliff also serving on the Licensing Sub-Committee. The proceedings were supported by Michael Flowers, Democratic Services Officer and Clerk, and Julie Hopkins, Licensing Officer. The applicant was represented by Sarah Louise Taylor, solicitor, and operators Carly Gomez and Tanya Kirsting. Representations were made by Councillor Leonie Cooper, Faith Woodruff, and Debbie Morey.
