The Licensing Sub Committee E of Hackney Council is scheduled to convene on Tuesday 15 September 2026. The meeting's agenda includes a hearing concerning a premises licence application for Golden Food, located at 368 Kingsland Road, London, E8 4DA. Additionally, the committee will address Temporary Event Notices as a standing item.

Premises Licence Application for Golden Food

The committee is scheduled to consider an application for a Premises Licence for Golden Food, located at 368 Kingsland Road, London, E8 4DA. The application, submitted by Bannastrand LTD, seeks authorisation for live music, recorded music, late-night refreshment, and the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises. The proposed operating hours extend until 01:30 on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with the premises remaining open until 02:00 on those days.

Representations have been received from the Environmental Health Authority (Health & Safety) and from local residents, citing concerns related to public safety and the prevention of public nuisance. While initial representations from Environmental Health and the Police Authority were withdrawn following agreement on proposed conditions, the resident's concerns remain. The applicant has proposed a comprehensive set of conditions, including a dispersal policy, SIA door supervision, active monitoring of the area outside the premises, and a direct contact number for local residents. These proposed conditions are detailed in the report pack¹.

The council's Statement of Licensing Policy² will be a key consideration, particularly policies relating to General Principles (LP1), Licensing Objectives (LP2), and Core Hours (LP3). The policy outlines the council's approach to managing licensed premises to prevent crime and disorder, ensure public safety, prevent public nuisance, and protect children from harm.

Temporary Event Notices

The committee also has a standing item on its agenda to discuss Temporary Event Notices (TENs). The Licensing Act 2003 governs TENs, which allow for small-scale, temporary events involving licensable activities. The report pack does not specify any particular TENs to be discussed, indicating this is a general procedural item.
