Section 5 of the Licensing Act 2003 requires each Licensing
Authority to prepare and publish a Statement of Licensing Policy
which sets out how it will exercise its licensing functions under
the Act. During each three year period, each licensing authority
must keep the policy under review, making revisions as it considers
appropriate. Each policy is valid for three years and is subject to
consultation and review.
Following the consultation process which took place between 16
July and 7 September 2007, Officers presented the updated policy to
members of the Licensing Committee on 9 October recommending that
the policy be adopted by Full Council on 12 December 2007.
On 12 December 2007 the Full Council adopted the policy for
implementation on 7 January 2008. This being the first revised
policy following the three year period.
The new Policy can be obtained below.
