Review of Statement of Licensing Policy consultation

Why are we doing this?

Licensing Act 2003 - Statement of Licensing Policy review

As a licensing authority we are responsible for licensing premises within our County that provide the sale of alcohol, the provision of regulated entertainment and the sale of hot food and/or hot (non-alcoholic) drinks after 23:00 hrs.

Premises such as pubs, clubs, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, together with late night takeaways all require licensing in some form.

We are required to produce a Statement of Licensing Policy setting out the approach to licensing in our County.

This policy provides clear guidance on the legal requirements and expectations of the council; to licence holders, applicants, and residents.

There are four licensing objectives under the Licensing Act 2003, which are:

  1. prevention of crime and disorder.
  2. public safety.
  3. prevention of public nuisance.
  4. protection of children from harm

We can only have regard to matters that relate to one or more of the licensing objectives listed above when determining our Statement of Licensing Policy
