Two popular high street chains in Sutton apply for premise licenses
Two high street chains have applied for new premises licences. Lidl Great Britain Limited has submitted an application to sell alcohol at its Sutton branch from 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. The supermarket, located at Units 78, 80, and 82 High Street, is seeking permission for off-premises sales. Anyone wishing to view the full application can do so online via the licensing register or in person at the London Borough of Sutton Civic Offices. The deadline for public representations is June 19. In a separate application, PLK Chicken UK Ltd has applied for a premises licence for the Popeyes branch at 137-143 High Street, Sutton. The fast-food chain is seeking permission to provide late-night refreshments both on and off the premises from 11pm until 3am daily. Members of the public can view the application online or in person at the Civic Offices by appointment. Representations must be submitted in writing by June 17, detailing the grounds for objection. These must relate to one or more of the four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm. All representations will be included in the papers presented to the Licensing Panel and will therefore become part of the public record. False statements in connection with a licensing application are also liable to an unlimited fine. More information on both applications is available via the Sutton Council website.
