Minutes:

The Director of Law, HR and Asset Management reported upon the Draft Statement of Licensing Policy in order that it may be circulated for consultation.

 

Under Section 5 of the Licensing Act 2003 , the Licensing Authority was required to prepare and publish a statement of its Licensing Policy every three years.  This was first published in January 2005 and reviewed and published in December 2007, therefore the Policy was now due to be reviewed and published no later than December 2010.

 

There had been no major changes made to the Licensing Policy, it had been updated in accordance with changes in legislation and advice from LACORS.

 

Members raised the issue of cumulative impact and discussions took place regarding whether an application could be refused due to this.

 

The use of Temporary Event Notices was discussed and it was advised that Ward Councillors would be notified by the Licensing Office of any use of Temporary Event Notices in future so that this would enable Members to respond to enquiries from local residents.

 

Resolved - That the Draft Statement of Licensing Policy be approved as a Draft to be circulated for consultation.
