To consider a review of a Premises License. Additional documents:
Decision: Application for a review of a premises license - Dulce Pecado UK Ltd, 263 High Road, London, N15 4RR
The Licensing Sub-Committee (“the LSC”) carefully considered the above application.
In considering the application, the LSC took account of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Act”), the Revised Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 in February 2025 (“the section 182 guidance”), the Haringey Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026, the report pack, and representations from the applicant and objectors.
Having considered the application and heard from all the parties, the LSC decided to MODIFY THE CONDITIONS OF THE LICENSE, including the operating hours.
Reasons
Written representations received The LSC received the following evidence:
Oral representations received The LSC heard from:
While not seeking to record everything said during the course of the hearing, the LSC noted and placed reliance on the following comments in particular.
Ms Slowikowska told the LSC: Ø She and her husband are the residents most affected by noise from the premises as they live directly above. Ø The incident at the end of June 2026 was not the beginning, it was the final straw. There have been issues for a long time, but under previous managers they have always managed to eventually reach a solution. Ø When the warm weather began, they began having issues with the club’s customers congregating outside and being noisy. They tried to raise this with the venue, without success. Ø They have not had any communication from the venue since they initiated this review. Ø She wants to be fair, and notes there is occasional improvement, but it is not consistent. For example, security do try to control the customers outside and ensure they don’t congregate, but the night before this hearing she also observed them having a loud argument with a customer, and later sitting and chatting with customers.
Ms Stewart on behalf of Ms Eicholc told the LSC: Ø The incident on the weekend of 27 and 28 June directly affected her business. The pavement was taken up by people and equipment to such a degree that customers could not get in. She asked for the music to be turned down but was ignored. The premises have now acknowledged this was a mistake, but it is of great concern to her that the people holding the license did not realise this to begin ... view the full decision text for item 6. |

To consider an application for the granting of a new Premises Licence. Additional documents:
Decision: Application for the grant of a new premises license under the Licensing Act 2003 – Milcana Café Annexe, 50 Park Lane, Tottenham, London, N17 0JS
The Licensing Sub-Committee (“the LSC”) carefully considered the above application.
In considering the application, the LSC took account of the Licensing Act 2003 (“the Act”), the Revised Guidance issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 in February 2025 (“the section 182 guidance”), the Haringey Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026, the report pack, and representations from the applicant and objectors.
Having considered the application and heard from all the parties, the LSC decided to GRANT the license subject to one modification, as set out below.
Reasons
Written representations received
The LSC received the following evidence:
Oral representations received
The LSC heard from:
Ms Tesfay made the following representations. While not seeking to record everything said during the course of the hearing, the LSC noted and placed reliance on the following points in particular:
Ø The premises for which the license was sought was an annexe to a long-standing Ethiopian and Eritrean café, opened to provide a space for playing the game Gebeta (this did not appear to be written in the application, and the LSC understands that different spellings may be used). Patrons are charged based on the time spent playing. Ø This premises will always remain ancillary to the adjoining café. The same person supervises both. Ø Gambling of any kind on the outcome of the games is strictly prohibited. Notwithstanding some of the suggestions in some of the representations, drug use is also strictly prohibited; staff are instructed to call the police if this is ever observed, but the reality is that it just doesn’t happen. Ø It was true that there was an incident over a year ago where a customer was stabbed. However, without seeking to minimise this, it was important to put the premises’ role in context:
o The victim and perpetrator were known to each other and there had been previous issues between them. o The perpetrator had entered the café earlier but only purchased coffee, no alcohol. o The perpetrator saw the victim enter, attacked them, and left. o Staff promptly called the emergency services, provided all CCTV to the police, and encouraged witnesses to remain to speak to the police.
Ø 24h CCTV, including 4k recording and audio, has already been installed. It has a dedicated internet connection, and will be stored for 31 days as standard. It will be provided to the Police on request. Ø A deliberate decision was taken to not provide WiFi to customers, so as to not encourage noisy streaming of music etc. |
