The Licensing Sub-Committee of Hammersmith and Fulham Council is scheduled to consider an application for a new premises licence for Bush Convenience Store. The meeting will also include standard procedural items.

Bush Convenience Store Application

The primary focus of the meeting is expected to be the application for a new premises licence for Bush Convenience Store, located at 208 Uxbridge Road, London, W12 7JD. The applicant, Personal Licence Courses UK on behalf of Amarjeet Singh Sachdev, is seeking permission to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises between 08:00 and 23:00, Monday to Sunday. The proposed opening hours for the store are also 08:00 to 23:00 daily.

The report pack details that a significant number of objections have been received regarding this application. These objections have been submitted by the Licensing Authority, the Metropolitan Police Licensing Team, the Caxton Village Tenants and Residents Association (CVTRA) supported by local residents, and numerous individual local residents. The grounds for objection primarily relate to concerns about the potential impact on the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, and the prevention of public nuisance.

Concerns have been raised about the cumulative impact of additional alcohol outlets in an area already experiencing issues with anti-social behaviour, street drinking, and public nuisance. The proximity of the premises to St Stephen's CE Primary School has also been highlighted as a concern, particularly regarding the protection of children from harm. The report pack outlines the council's Statement of Licensing Policy (SLP), which guides the committee's decision-making process, including policies on cumulative impact, crime and disorder, public safety, and the protection of children. The committee will consider the application in light of these representations and policies, with the potential to grant the application in full, grant it in part with modified conditions, or reject it.
