A temporary event notice for the sale of alcohol at 377 Ladbroke Grove was discussed by the Licensing Sub-Committee. The committee heard representations from the applicant, the Metropolitan Police, and Environmental Health. The meeting was held to consider objections to the notice on the grounds of preventing crime and disorder, public safety, and noise and nuisance.

Temporary Event Notice at 377 Ladbroke Grove

The Licensing Sub-Committee considered a temporary event notice (TEN) submitted by Domenico Borgia for the premises at 377 Ladbroke Grove, London, W10 5AA. The notice sought permission to sell alcohol on the premises on Sunday 30 August and Monday 31 August 2026, between midday and 7pm each day. The maximum number of people permitted on the premises at any one time was stated as 10.

Objections to the TEN were raised by the Metropolitan Police, represented by PC Janil Caldenes, on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder and public safety. Environmental Health, represented by Philip Richardson from the Noise and Nuisance Team, also submitted a representation on the grounds of public safety.

Mr. Borgia explained that the event would take place entirely within his barbershop. He stated that attendees would need to purchase a ticket to enter, and that the intention was to provide a safe space for people during the busy Notting Hill Carnival. He emphasised that the event would not be associated with any street parties and that measures would be in place to ensure no more than 10 people were on the premises at any time. He also mentioned that they would offer water to anyone who felt unsafe outside.

The committee heard from PC Mark Perry of the MPS Licensing team and Philip Richardson from Environmental Health regarding their objections. The meeting was scheduled to conclude with the committee retiring to make a decision. However, the provided transcript does not contain the final decision made by the committee.
