The draft licensing policy consultation launched by Camden Council has sparked significant concern among local residents, emphasizing potential harm to community safety and order.
Critics argue the proposed changes favor businesses over residents, particularly concerning the extended hours for alcohol sales and a lack of safeguards against crime.
The council's strategy appears to shift responsibility onto residents to prove any negative impact from new establishments, raising fears about community input being overlooked.
Residents, including representatives from local associations, have voiced their alarm over the potential scrapping of cumulative impact assessments, which historically helped regulate local business density.
