Licensing Act 2003 - Revision of Wyre's Statement of Licensing Policy pdf icon PDF 236 KB

Report of the Corporate Director Environment, attached.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Corporate Director Environment submitted a report asking members to agree the contents of the revised draft Statement of Licensing Policy.

 

Members asked a number of questions in relation to the regulations that had recently come into force in England that pubs and restaurants would have a 10pm closing time and the enforcement of conditions on takeaways relating to sweeping up litter in the immediate vicinity.

 

The Senior Licensing Officer and Senior Solicitor confirmed that the new regulations take precedence over the premises licence and that, as the council, police and county council are all enforcing authorities for the new regulations, premises not adhering to the rules could be brought to the committee to have their licences reviewed. Similarly takeaways found to be in breach of the conditions of their licence could be penalised.

 

Decisions taken

 

The Licensing Committee agreed

 

·       the draft Licensing Policy at Appendix 1 of the report.

 

·       that the Senior Licensing Officer undertake a six week consultation with the trade and other relevant persons on the draft policy and in consultation with the Chairman, consider all the responses received and where appropriate, amend the draft policy, before presenting it to the next available meeting of full Council with a recommendation to adopt it with effect from 7 January 2021.
