Objection to Temporary Event Notice at ACRES (BAR 3)

The Licensing Sub-Committee is scheduled to consider an objection to a temporary event notice for ACRES (BAR 3), located at 12 Acklam Road, London, W10 5QZ. The objection has been raised by the relevant chief officer of police and/or the Noise and Nuisance Team. The committee's role, as outlined in the Agenda frontsheet 04th-Aug-2026 15.00 Licensing Sub-Committee, is to determine whether it is necessary to issue a counter notice to promote the crime prevention or public nuisance prevention objectives. This would be done under sections 9(2) and 183(1) of the Licensing Act 2003¹.

The hearing will be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams. Both the premises user and the police and/or Noise and Nuisance Team are entitled to address the committee and can be assisted or represented. The procedure document for the hearing, which is available with the agenda, details how parties can question each other, requiring express permission from the Sub-Committee.

Parties involved must submit information to Governance Services by noon one working day before the hearing. This includes confirming attendance, representation details, connection method for virtual attendance, any final submissions, and whether witnesses will be called, along with their details and the points they can assist on.

The committee may proceed in the absence of a party if they fail to attend, considering the objection notice. However, the Sub-Committee has the discretion to adjourn the hearing if there are justified reasons, provided it does not prevent the application from being determined within the statutory time limits.
