The Licensing Sub Committee E met on Tuesday 17 February 2026 to consider reviews of a premises licence and a club premises certificate for premises at 235 Amhurst Road, London N16 7UN. The meeting also included a standing item on Temporary Event Notices.
Review of Premises Licence: Basement, 235 Amhurst Road, London N16 7UN
The committee was scheduled to consider a review of the premises licence for the basement at 235 Amhurst Road, London N16 7UN. The application for review was made by the Environmental Health Authority, citing concerns related to the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance. The report pack indicated that the Environmental Protection team had received 21 noise complaints over a ten-month period, with three of these being substantiated as statutory noise nuisance. The Environmental Protection Authority was seeking to lift the suspension of relevant conditions and give renewed effect to live music as regulated entertainment between 08:00 and 23:00 hours, while also seeking to remove live and recorded music entirely as licensable activities from the Premises Licence. The report pack outlined various options for the committee's decision, including taking no action, modifying conditions, excluding licensable activities, removing the designated premises supervisor, suspending the licence, or revoking the licence.
Review of Club Premises Certificate: Scoble Dominoes and Social Club, Basement, 235 Amhurst Road, London N16 7UN
A review of the club premises certificate for Scoble Dominoes and Social Club, also located in the basement at 235 Amhurst Road, London N16 7UN, was also scheduled for discussion. This review was also initiated by the Environmental Health Authority, based on the licensing objective of the prevention of public nuisance. Similar to the premises licence review, the Environmental Protection team had documented numerous noise complaints and instances of statutory noise nuisance. The Environmental Protection Authority's recommendation was to remove live music and recorded music as licensable activities from the Club Premises Certificate. The report pack detailed the potential decisions the committee could make, mirroring those for the premises licence review.
Temporary Event Notices Standing Item
The committee also had a standing item on its agenda concerning Temporary Event Notices (TENs). The report pack did not provide specific details for this item, indicating it is a regular part of the committee's business.
