Bahaaeldin Abdelalim, 44, owner of Lebanese Grill, at 62 Queen’s Road, Brighton, has applied for a licence to sell food and drink until 1am daily to dine-in customers and for delivery. Brighton and Hove City Council is to hold a licensing panel hearing on Thursday (August 6), after receiving an objection from a nearby business. Mr Abdelalim has previously applied to obtain a licence to sell food and soft drinks until 5am and 3am but has been turned down. In his latest application, Mr Abdelalim said he had consulted Sussex Police and council officials, adding that the hours requested complied with council policy. Police and council officials have agreed draft licence conditions before the licensing panel hears the application – in case Mr Abdelalim is granted the licence.
