Yes the M&S store applied for longer times to sell alcohol than their planning permission allows.

I objected to the licence application.

Pretty standard conditions have been added to the approval.


The key will be resisting if they ever seek a new planning application to amend that condition on opening hours to match the alcohol licence.


They've also submitted another licence application to revise the drawings they submitted around the self service tills. No substantive change.

Indeed, on what grounds? Deliveries? Sainsbury's and Londis don't seem to cause any disruption..

and the Gelati, queues on a Sunday across the pavement, also often queues at the weekend outside TCC as people have not yet realised there is a Thai pop up opposite at the Duck Egg Cafe, which is good value. I doubt there will be queues outside M&S when it finally opens, although I imagine there will be queues at the checkout.

Why? (just out of interest)



James - I think you answered the wrong question (or at least I thought you did). Why did you object to the licence application? (not why did M&S apply for longer times). I'm also interested in why, as a local representative, you objected to the licence application.

I don't know why or even if he did object to this licence application. It was due to be heard by the sub committee on the 10th of May. M&S originally wanted licensing hours to start at 6am. Before the committee met discussions were held with the police and M&S agreed the licensing start hour should be 8am. This is not unusual for applicants like this to apply for longer hours that they don't use. The Sainsbury's local in Lordship Lane has a licence start time of 6am but the store doesn't open until 7am. I suspect the M&S store will open at 8am for ordinary and alcohol shopping. I hope this is helpful.

M&S originally wanted to significantly increase opening/closing and delivery hours beyond those of the former incumbent Iceland. This would have resulted in disruption to locals as the delivery area is smaller than ever and the very large delivery vehicles not only block the street holding up traffic but also make a terrific racket as they inch into the delivery bay, beeping as they go. Part of the earlier planning agreement had M&S operating at similar times to Iceland.


The fear was/ is that M&S will use the alcohol licence to impose the extended trading hours they originally wanted and that were rejected in earlier planning applications.

Hi Robbin,

I objected as I didn't want M&S to have longer licensing hours than their planning permission.

I was trying to avoid them then coming back for longer opening times. I failed. We now run that risk.

The new M&S will already have much longer opening hours than the previous Iceland store.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
