The Black Eel, a Grade II listed pub in Dalston, seeks to extend its opening hours to 1:30 AM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. A local resident has objected to the Hackney Council licensing panel, citing concerns about noise from people on the high street. The resident, who wished to remain anonymous, previously objected to two other licensing changes.
