Details of the application

This application for a premises licence is made by Raztina Ltd under section 17 of the Licensing Act 2003.  The application was received by Havering’s Licensing Authority on 10th June 2026.

The premises is located at the junction of Billet Lane and High Street in a row of purpose built ground floor commercial outlets.  The shops appear to have residential properties located above them.  The area might therefore be considered one of mixed use.  The premises primarily operates as a takeaway chicken restaurant but contains limited seating for customers to consume their meals.

The application seeks to provide late night refreshment seven days a week from 23:00 to 03:00 the day following.  Section 14 of the application provides the following clarification: 

• Provision of late-night refreshment including takeaway and limited indoor and

outdoor seating.

The premises plan supplied with the application does not include any reference to an outside area, presumably to be located to the front of the premises, an area which appears to be the public highway.  To date the Licensing Authority has not received an application for a pavement licence to authorise the placing of tables and chairs on the public highway.

The premises is located in one of Havering’s cumulative impact zones, the Hornchurch CIZ, as defined in Havering’s licensing policy. The application makes no reference to the Hornchurch CIZ and offers no challenge in the form of a policy rebuttal.

Section 9 of Havering’s licensing policy addresses the Hornchurch CIZ and includes the following paragraph at 9.4:

• On the basis of the above evidence the Licensing Authority is of the view that the number, type and density of premises selling alcohol for consumption on and off the premises and the provision of late night refreshment around the High Street is having

a cumulative impact and undermining the licensing objectives. It is likely that granting further licences would be inconsistent with the authority’s duty to promote the licensing objectives and a cumulative impact policy has been adopted in this area.

Section 18 of the application contains several steps the applicant is willing to implement to promote the licensing objectives.  From a licensing perspective these proposals appear ill defined and, if they were to become licence conditions, would be largely unenforceable thereby negating the purpose of the condition.

During the application’s consultation period responsible authorities engaged with the applicant outlining their concerns; however, the applicant was of the following view:

• Whilst we respect your concerns, we remain of the view that the application is

appropriate as submitted and do not intend to amend the hours requested.  In the circumstances, we would be grateful if the application could now proceed to a Licensing Sub-Committee hearing for determination. We look forward to presenting our case to the Committee.

There were no representations against this application from any residents or businesses in the immediate area  ...  view the full decision text for item 5.
