Notice of review of a premises licence

Immigration Enforcement, as a relevant authority, applied to Rugby Borough Council on 24 September 2025 for the review of the premises licence relating to Malancha, 2 Daventry Road, Dunchurch, Rugby, CV22 6NS.

In the application for the review, Immigration Enforcement set out the following grounds:

"Grounds to believe the licence holder has failed to meet the licensing objectives of prevention of crime and disorder, as illegal working has been identified at this premises.

"Section 36 and Schedule 4 of the Immigration Act 2016 amended the Licensing Act 2003 to introduce immigration safeguards in respect of licensing applications made in England and Wales on or after 6 April 2017. The intention is to protect illegal working in premises licensed for the sale of alcohol or late-night refreshment.

"The Home Secretary (in practice, the Home Office (Immigration Enforcement)), was added to the list of 'Responsible Authorities' (RA) in the licensing regime, which requires the Home Office (Immigration Enforcement) to receive premises licence applications (except regulated entertainment only licences and applications to vary a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS), and in some limited circumstances, personal licence applications.

"In carrying out the role of responsible authority, Home Office (Immigration Enforcement) is permitted to make relevant representations and objections to the grant of a licence or request a review of an existing licence as a responsible authority where there is concern that a licence and related licensable activity is prejudicial to the prevention of immigration crime, including illegal working."
