King Kebab & Pizza, a takeaway located at 458 High Street, Kingswinford, has applied to Dudley Council for a new premises licence that would allow it to serve late-night refreshments on selected evenings. The application was submitted by Umair Shakoor under the Licensing Act 2003.
Proposed Late-Night Hours
If approved, the shop would be permitted to serve food and drink during extended hours on four days of the week. The proposed hours are Monday to Thursday from 11pm to 11.30pm, and Friday to Saturday from 11pm to 1.30am. The shop does not currently hold a licence for these late-night periods.
The application is part of a formal process under the Licensing Act 2003, which governs the sale of alcohol and late-night refreshment in England and Wales. The premises would require the new licence to legally operate beyond its current permitted hours.
Public Consultation and How to Object
Dudley Council has opened a public consultation period, inviting residents and businesses to make representations regarding the application. Any objections or comments must be submitted in writing to the Director of Development & Regulation, Housing & Assets, Licensing, Dudley MBC, Lister Road Depot, Dudley DY2 8JW.
The full details of the application are available to view on the Public Notice Portal at publicnoticeportal.uk. The portal carries statutory public notices published in local newspapers and is designed to help residents find out about licensing changes and other official announcements affecting their neighbourhood.
The notice accompanying the application stresses that it is an offence to knowingly or recklessly make a false statement in connection with an application. This warning applies to anyone submitting representations or providing information related to the licensing request.
Next Steps for the Application
The council will consider all representations received during the consultation period before making a decision on the licence. If granted, the new licence would take effect once all legal requirements are met, allowing King Kebab & Pizza to serve customers during the extended hours on the specified days.
Residents who wish to support or oppose the application should submit their written representations before the deadline, as late submissions may not be considered by the licensing authority.
