Mount Eden Land Limited has applied to Westminster Council for a new premises licence for 19-21 Great Portland Street, in Fitzrovia West.
The application is for a “shadow licence” on identical terms as the existing licence.
Westminster Council’s statement of licensing policy says: “These ‘Shadow Licences’ are normally sought by the landowner to protect the interest of their property due to the policy to refuse certain new applications.” A shadow licence will — in the event that a licence lapses, is surrendered or is revoked — allow the property owner to market the property with a premises licence.
The existing premises licence (23/09019/LIPDPS) permits a number of activities including the sale of alcohol from 10am to 3am the following morning from Monday to Saturday; and from 11am to 30 minutes past midnight the following morning on Sundays.
To view the details of the application and to make a comment, see the application on Westminster Council’s website.
24/01486/LIPSL, 19 – 21 Great Portland Street, London W1W 8QB.
The last date for representations to be received by Westminster Council is 10 April 2024.
Residents in the City of Westminster can make use of free advice from the Licensing Advice Project at Citizens Advice Westminster, and should also contact the Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association with any comments they wish to make.
