The licence will allow for the sale of alcohol for consumption off premises from 8am to 11pm Monday to Sunday.

The application says Avtar Singh Lalpurwal will have no day‑to‑day role in running the premises, except when he is on site to deliver stock.

If you wish to object to this application, email licensing@oxford.gov.uk, or visit the application online.
