A new premises licence application has been submitted for Walcot Convenience Store, located at 132A Walcot Street, Bath BA1 5BG, seeking permission to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises.
This particular unit holds historical significance as it was the original location of Bath-based homewares brand Always Sunday, which later relocated to Broad Street before establishing an online presence.
The application, made by Ms Shivani Salveru, requests authority to sell alcohol for off-sales every day from 7am to 10pm. This follows the requirements under the Licensing Act 2003 and has been submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council. The public notice regarding this application was published on 3 September 2026.

Members of the public, responsible authorities, and any other interested parties are invited to submit written representations to the council by 21 September 2026. Any comments should specifically address the licensing objectives: prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance, and protection of children from harm.
Those intending to comment should provide relevant evidence supporting their views and, where appropriate, suggest conditions to be applied to the licence. It is important to note that representations may be made public in the event that a hearing is required, and making false statements in connection with the application carries legal penalties.
If no relevant objections are raised, the council may grant the licence through delegated authority. Otherwise, a licensing sub-committee hearing will consider all submissions, with the decision to grant, refuse, or impose conditions on the licence.
The proposed off-sale hours would formalise the sale of alcohol for takeaway at this Walcot Street address. The licensing process includes consideration of potential impacts such as noise, public nuisance, and late-night activity affecting nearby residents and businesses.
Full details of the application can be viewed via Bath & North East Somerset Council’s licensing register or in person at Licensing Services, Lewis House, Manvers Street, Bath during office hours.
To comment on the application or view the original public notice, interested parties may refer to the Bath Chronicle or the council’s online resources.
