A supermarket has applied for a licence to sell alcohol around the clock every day of the week.

Iceland Foods Limited has submitted an application for a premises licence for the proposed Food Warehouse at  Wycombe Retail Park.

The licence would allow the store to offer alcohol for off-site consumption 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

The application was received on May 5 and is currently under public consultation until June 2.

As part of the application, Iceland has proposed a series of safety measures to address the four licensing objectives: prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm.

For crime prevention, the store will operate a CCTV system, with continuous recording while open and footage retained for at least 31 days.

A Challenge 25 proof-of-age scheme will apply, and staff will not be able to sell alcohol until they have completed relevant training.

In terms of public safety and nuisance, Iceland has said it will follow fire safety and health and safety regulations, and maintain a formal complaints procedure.

If third-party delivery services are used, drivers will be required to turn off their engines and minimise noise to avoid disturbing nearby residents and businesses.

Alcohol deliveries will only be made to residential or business addresses where the customer is clearly associated with the property.

No deliveries will be allowed to individuals in public spaces such as parks, bus stops or street corners.

Age verification checks will also take place at the point of delivery. Alcohol will not be handed over without valid photo ID.

To protect children, Iceland has said that all relevant staff will receive alcohol sales training during induction, with refresher courses every six months.

A till prompt system will be in place to remind staff about age checks, and a refusals register will be kept and made available for inspection.

Despite the store’s 24-hour sales application, the licence would be for off-site consumption only.

Residents and nearby businesses have until June 2 to submit their comments.

The Food Warehouse was launched by Iceland in 2014, and typically sells frozen and chilled foods alongside a range of fresh produce. 

The store in High Wycombe will replace the former Bensons for beds unit at the retail park on Ryemead Way. 

Planning for the site was approved in February, with documents explaining the store would operate using a hybrid model, combing a traditional supermarket layout and a "cash and carry" style. 

Expected to take up around 20 per cent of the floor space, a special buys section is also planned for the new store.
