Submitted by Kulasingam Chandramohan, it would also give permission to serve “late night refreshment”, including hot food and drink, between 11pm and 2am.
A meeting of the council’s licensing sub-committee to consider the application had been scheduled for Monday, June 3, but was immediately adjourned to a later date, now confirmed for Thursday, July 25.
