The Licensing Sub-Committee (Alcohol and Entertainments) of Rushmoor Council is scheduled to consider two applications for premises licences. Both applications relate to businesses located on Union Street in Aldershot and seek permission to operate as late-night refreshment venues.

Little Dessert Shop, Aldershot

The sub-committee is scheduled to consider an application for a premises licence for the Little Dessert Shop, located at 17a Union Street, Aldershot¹. The application, submitted by Artisan Spoon Ltd., seeks permission for late-night refreshment. While the initial application proposed operating until 5 am daily, the applicant has since amended the hours and agreed to specific conditions in liaison with the responsible authority for the prevention of public nuisance. A representation has been received from a member of the public concerning the potential impact on the licensing objectives of preventing public nuisance and crime and disorder. The report pack outlines the details of the application, the representation received, and relevant considerations from the Council's licensing policy and guidance issued by the Secretary of State. The sub-committee will be asked to determine the application, with options including granting the licence as applied for, or rejecting the whole or part of the application, subject to any necessary modifications to promote the licensing objectives.

Dixy's Chicken, Aldershot

Also scheduled for consideration is an application for a premises licence for Dixy's Chicken, located at 17 Union Street, Aldershot². Similar to the Little Dessert Shop application, this application from Urban Whip Ltd. is for late-night refreshment. The applicant has also amended their initial proposal to operate until 5 am daily, agreeing to reduced hours and specific conditions following discussions with the Environmental Health department regarding the prevention of public nuisance. A representation from a member of the public has been received, raising concerns about the potential for public nuisance and crime and disorder. The report pack details the application, the representation, and relevant guidance. The sub-committee will be tasked with determining this application, with the same options available as for the Little Dessert Shop application.
