To consider an application for a new premises licence.

At the outset of the item, Chris Knight (Licensing Agent) stated that he had not received a copy of the representation from Public Health and from two of the residents.

Daliah Barrett, Licensing Officer, introduced the report which presented an application for a new premises licence for GETIR UK LTD, Unit 5, 2 Overbury Road, Tottenham, London, N15.
