More say for local people

The Licensing Act 2003 gives a person, body representing persons or someone in business in the vicinity of the premises more power, as you have the right to object to licence applications, appeal the committee's decision and ask for reviews of any licences in place. You will have the opportunity to make representations to the licensing authority about the effect on the promotion of the licensing objectives of the application.

Before making representations, you may wish to look at the licensing policy statement which sets out the council’s policy about alcohol, public entertainment and late night refreshment licensing.

The Council is mindful that the high number and density of premises selling alcohol for consumption within the Ilford town centre are causing problems of crime and nuisance disturbance. Following guidance issued under the Act and after consultation with the Police, other responsible authorities, licensed businesses and local residents, a cumulative impact policy for the Ilford town centre was adopted by Cabinet committee on 16th February 2010.  The Licensing Authority has designated this area as the town centre Cumulative Impact Zone in relation to premises licensed for the sale or supply of alcohol.
