The Licensing Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider an application for a variation of a premises licence for Meat Et Doner Restaurant. The committee was also due to review the minutes of previous meetings.

Meat Et Doner Restaurant, 95-97 Chase Side, Southgate, N14 5BU

The main item scheduled for discussion was an application for a variation of a premises licence for Meat Et Doner Restaurant, located at 95-97 Chase Side, Southgate, N14 5BU. The application sought approval for an amended premises plan, the removal of a condition stating that any extension to the premises must not be used for licensable activity, and authorisation for the provision of Late Night Refreshment on Fridays and Saturdays between 23:00 and 00:00.

The report pack indicated that the premises is situated within the Southgate Cumulative Impact Zone¹. The Licensing Authority had submitted an objection to the application, citing concerns regarding the promotion of the four licensing objectives: prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance, and protection of children from harm. The Licensing Authority's representation highlighted previous breaches of licence conditions identified during inspections on 17 June and 9 July 2026, including issues with litter disposal, staff training records, CCTV compliance, incident logs, and signage related to public nuisance and women's safety.

Objections were also received from three Other Parties (local residents), who raised concerns about noise disturbance from glass disposal and refuse collection, the use of the rear extension and its external door, and the placement of outdoor seating without a licence. These residents expressed that the premises had not demonstrated adherence to existing conditions and that extending licensable activity, particularly into an external area and later hours, would introduce unmanaged risk.

The report pack also included details of previous meetings of the Licensing Sub-Committee concerning Dan's Bar and Union Bar & Restaurant, both of which involved discussions about applications within cumulative impact zones and resulted in refusals.
