How to view and comment
The application record is available through Liverpool City Council's licensing representations portal. Anyone wanting to inspect the application at the council offices can phone 0151 233 3015 to request a call-back and arrange an appointment.
Representations can be submitted online or by post to Liverpool City Council, Licensing and Public Protection, Cunard Building, Water Street, Liverpool L3 1AH. The consultation closes on August 24, 2026.
Anyone with concerns or who believes they may be adversely affected is encouraged to submit a representation. Comments should address the licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance and the protection of children from harm.
It is an offence knowingly or recklessly to make a false statement in connection with a licensing application, and a person may be liable to an unlimited fine on conviction.
What could this mean for the area?
If approved, the licence would allow New Charcoal Hob to serve hot food later into the night. This could support footfall on Prescot Road and provide additional choice for shift workers and late travellers. Considerations for neighbours may include noise from customers, delivery vehicles and bins, late-night congregation, litter management and transport at closing time.
What happens next
After the consultation closes, the licensing authority will review any representations and may hold a hearing. Applicants and objectors would be notified. For full details and the official record of the application, refer to the public notice published for this case.
