This meeting was scheduled to discuss two licensing applications. One was for a new premises licence for a Tesco at 349 - 351 Norwood Road and the other was for a variation of an existing premises licence for No 32 The Old Town. It is important to note that these were only the topics scheduled for discussion. We do not know what was actually discussed, or what decisions were made.

Licensing Sub-Committee - Thursday 12 December 2024 1.00 pm

The Licensing Sub-Committee met to consider two applications. The first was for a new premises license for an off-license at 47 Waterloo Station, submitted by Gardshol Enterprises Limited. The committee determined that the application should be granted with additional conditions, including that all alcohol be kept in secure storage and only sold alongside food between 7am and 11am. The second application was a review of an existing premises license for Mosquito Bar at 5 Clapham High Street. After extensive discussion, the committee deferred its decision for five working days.
