The Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee of Waltham Forest Council met on Thursday 20 August 2026. The primary item on the agenda was a variation application for a premises licence.

Variation of a Premises Licence: One Point Eight, Arch 146, Tilbury Road, Leyton, E10 6RE

The meeting was scheduled to consider an application to vary the existing premises licence for One Point Eight, located at Arch 146, Tilbury Road, Leyton, E10 6RE. The application sought to add and extend the sale of alcohol, allowing for on-premises consumption and increasing the opening hours.

The proposed changes included extending the sale of alcohol and opening hours from Sunday to Wednesday between 10:00 and 22:00, and from Thursday to Saturday between 10:00 and 00:00.

During the consultation period, two representations were received: one from the council's licensing team and another from the Metropolitan Police. These representations raised concerns related to the licensing objectives of preventing public nuisance, protecting children from harm, public safety, and preventing crime and disorder.

It was noted that the applicant had agreed to conditions proposed by the Metropolitan Police, which led to the withdrawal of their representation. The report pack outlined the procedure for the Licensing Sub-Committee to consider the application, which could result in granting the application in full, granting it in part, or refusing it. The report also detailed mandatory conditions applicable to all premises licences and conditions consistent with the operating schedule, as well as outlining the council's Statement of Licensing Policy and its implications for equalities and diversity.

The report pack included appendices containing the application to vary the premises licence, the existing premises licence details, newspaper notices, representations from responsible authorities, conditions agreed with the Metropolitan Police, and a map of the premises' location.
