Application for a New Premises Licence at Econo Pizza 51 Mottingham Road, SE9 4QZ

The application was for a premises licence for Late Night refreshment running until 0300 hours Sunday to Thursday and 0430 hours Friday and Saturday mornings. The Council received 6 representations against the application, 3 from responsible authorities, one Ward Councillor and 2 residents. Representatives from the local residents association, the police and the noise team attended the hearing.

Members noted that the applicant had not completed the section of the form as to how he intended to promote the four licensing objectives other than the mere statement that he would. Without this information, the Sub-Committee concluded it would not have the necessary information to assess the application. Members accordingly adjourned the consideration of the application for the applicant to complete, after consultation with the police, the public health nuisance team and the planning section, a proposed operating schedule for the business, as required by the form.

The hearing would be adjourned for approximately two months with the aim of the matter being considered by the same panel. The applicant was advised that he must not provide late night refreshment after 11pm until the resumed hearing as this may constitute an offence. Any objectors should be informed of the new hearing date.
