The Licensing Hearing Sub Committee is scheduled to consider an application for a premises licence for Pizza Go Go in Prestwich. The committee will also review the minutes from previous meetings.

Application for a Premises Licence for Pizza Go Go

The committee is scheduled to consider an application for a premises licence for Pizza Go Go, located at 56 Bury New Road, Prestwich, M25 0JU. The application, submitted by Mr Mansour Gholami, seeks permission for the premises to operate as a late-night refreshment provider. The proposed opening hours are from 11:30 to 04:30, Monday to Sunday, with late-night refreshment hours from 23:00 to 04:00.

Representations have been received from both a responsible authority, Environmental Health, and an interested party, Councillor Alan Quinn. Environmental Health has raised concerns about potential public nuisance due to noise from customers, vehicles, and extractor fans, particularly given the proximity to residential properties. Councillor Quinn also objects on the grounds of public nuisance and the prevention of crime and disorder, citing concerns about noise and potential anti-social behaviour associated with late opening hours.

The committee will need to consider these representations and determine whether to grant the application as requested, grant it with conditions, amend existing conditions, or refuse it, all with a view to promoting the four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. The committee's decision will be guided by the Licensing Act 20031, national guidance issued by the Secretary of State, and the council's own licensing policy statement.

Minutes of Previous Meetings

The committee is also scheduled to review the minutes from previous Licensing Hearing Sub Committee meetings held on 17 August 2026 and 27 August 2026.


  1. The Licensing Act 2003 is the primary legislation governing the sale of alcohol and the provision of regulated entertainment and late-night refreshment in England and Wales. It aims to promote the four licensing objectives.
