APPLICANT Licensing Team Tesco Stores Ltd 5 Falcon Way Shire Park Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire AL7 1TW
1. Details of Application
Variation applied for:
The applicant acted in accordance with regulations 25 and 26 of The Licensing Act 2003 (Premises licences and club premises certificates) Regulations 2005 relating to the advertising of the application. The required public notice was installed in the 22 March 2017 edition of the Havering Yellow Advertiser.

The applicant was seeking to regularise the hours which would increase by 1 hour each day on Monday to Saturday. Although the applicant had sought to increase the Sunday hours; it would still be subject to Sunday Trading hours and could open but only for 6 consecutive hours between 10am and 6pm and must close on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.

3. Applicant’s response.

The premises were open from 07.00 hrs in the morning and were currently closing at 22.00hrs.
