The Licensing Sub-Committee considered two applications on 09 September 2026. A review of Ringo Pizza was adjourned due to the current licence holder not being properly notified, and a new premises licence for Dr Dessert was granted with modified hours and conditions.

Ringo Pizza, 40 Fulham Palace Road, London, W6 9PH

The committee was due to consider a review of the premises licence for Ringo Pizza, located at 40 Fulham Palace Road, London, W6 9PH, following an application by the Home Office Immigration Enforcement Team on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder. However, shortly before the hearing, it was discovered that the premises licence had been transferred to Yousef Aga on 21 August 2026. As the alleged conduct giving rise to the review occurred under the previous licence holder, Shakeeb Ayash, and the new licence holder, Mr Aga, had not received adequate notice to prepare a defence, the committee decided to adjourn the hearing. This decision was made to ensure due process and to allow the current licence holder a fair opportunity to be heard.

Dr Dessert, 174 Wandsworth Bridge Road, London, SW6 2UQ

The committee granted a premises licence for Dr Dessert, located at 174 Wandsworth Bridge Road, London, SW6 2UQ, for the provision of late-night refreshment. The application was granted in part, with the hours for late-night refreshment outdoors being set from 23:00 to 00:00 Sunday to Thursday, and 23:00 to 01:00 Friday to Saturday. The hours open to the public were set from 08:00 to 23:00 daily. The licence was also granted with eight conditions agreed with the Noise and Nuisance Team and six conditions agreed with the Police Licensing Team. These conditions include measures for delivery management, staff monitoring, litter patrols, and the display of prominent signage.

The application had received objections from local residents, the Walham Green Ward Panel, and the Barclay Road Neighbourhood Watch, who raised concerns about potential noise and disturbance from late-night delivery operations, particularly given the residential nature of the area. They argued that the proposed conditions were not sufficiently enforceable and that extending operating hours would negatively impact residents' amenity. Despite these objections, the committee decided to grant the licence with the agreed conditions, which they deemed sufficient to promote the licensing objectives.
