A takeaway store, which recently reopened in Aylesbury town centre, is applying for a late night licence.

This month, SFC Aylesbury LTD launched a bid for a grant of a premises licence which would allow it to remain open until 1am between Sunday and Thursday.

The takeaway restaurant wants to remain open until 3am on Friday and Saturday nights.

SFC Aylesbury was located within Aylesbury’s takeaway strip on Cambridge Street for several years. However, earlier this year the brand, which stands for Southern Fried Chicken, moved its store to 6 Kingsbury. It has taken over the unit which was previously Matilda’s cafe.

Consultation opened on the late night bid on August 4 and is set to run until September 15. SFC Aylesbury LTD says customers will be managed to minimise disturbance to nearby residents and businesses. Customers will be encouraged to leave the premises quietly and to respect neighbouring properties.

The company also says in its application that notices will be visible that request customers to leave quietly via requested exits. The application also reveals that the business would use a CCTV system covering its entrance, exit and customer areas, with recordings retained for a minimum of 31 days.

The company says upon request camera footage from the store will be handed over to the police. Staff will be trained to identify and deal with anti-social behaviour and contact the police where necessary, SFC Aylesbury LTD writes. Staff will monitor the area immediately outside the premises and take reasonable steps to discourage excessive noise, littering and anti-social behaviour, the company also advised.
