The Licensing Sub Committee D decided to approve the application for a Premises Licence for Basement, 201-203 Hackney Road, London E2 8JL on 01 October 2025. The decision included approving the application with proposed conditions, amending one condition regarding the smoking area capacity, and adding twelve new conditions relating to CCTV, staff training, alcohol sales, waste disposal, and noise mitigation.

The Licensing Sub Committee C of Hackney Council refused the application to vary a premises licence for Bread and Butter, 72 Rivington Street, London, EC2A 3AY on 24th September 2025. The decision was made after considering representations from responsible authorities and local residents, who believed granting the application would undermine licensing objectives and negatively impact the Shoreditch Special Policy Area. The Sub-Committee noted the premises licence holder's failure to comply with existing licence conditions and concerns about cumulative impact in the area.
