A new premises licence has been granted for 21 Park Road, N8 8TE, where Freshco Basket will trade as what the applicant described to councillors as a neighbourhood convenience store selling groceries, fresh food and vegetables and chilled food, with alcohol "one part of their business".
The Metropolitan Police had objected in writing but withdrew after the applicant agreed further conditions; a member of the public also objected in writing but did not attend the hearing, and the sub-committee proceeded in their absence while taking the representations into account. Further conditions were added at the hearing, among them a requirement to keep a daily incident log at the premises and produce it on request to council officers, the police or the fire service. The Designated Premises Supervisor named in the application is the applicant's uncle.
