Councillor Nicholas Blincoe

The Licensing Sub-Committee decided to serve a Counter Notice on the Temporary Event Notice for an event at Inessa Empire, 115a Stoke Newington Road, N16 8BX, on 20 July 2026. The Sub-Committee was satisfied that the proposed event would undermine the licensing objectives, specifically the prevention of public nuisance. The decision was made due to concerns about late-night noise affecting local residents, as evidenced by previous noise complaints and the Metropolitan Police's objection.

The Hackney Licensing Sub-Committee approved recommendations on 14/07/2026. The decision modified the premises licence conditions. Staff will manage the outside area and dispersal, the licence holder will hold resident meetings every six months, maintain dedicated contact details, and keep a log to monitor noise.
