Statement of Licensing Policy (Agenda item 6) |
The Director
of Development & Environment reported on a revised Statement of Licensing
Policy. Under the provisions of the
Licensing Act the Council in its capacity as Licensing Authority was required
to determine its policy with respect to the exercise of its functions and to
publish a statement of that policy, a licensing statement. The current statement of licensing policy was
due to expire and had been updated to take into account the revised statutory
guidance issued under the Licensing Act 2003 and in view of
operational experience
gained. The revised statement for the
period 2015-20 had been subject of consultation prior to coming into effect, as
required by the Act. The representative
of the Director of Development & Environment then responded to Members
questions and queries.
Recommended to the Council: that the revised Statement of Licensing Policy for the period 2015- 20 be adopted and published
