Decision details

Decision taken

The Cabinet noted the results of the consultation and agreed the proposed changes.

The Cabinet agreed to recommend the Licensing Act Policy Review to Full Council for approval.

Reason for decision

The Council in its capacity as licensing authority for the purposes of the Licensing Act 2003 is obliged by law to have a statement of licensing policy. Originally such a statement had to be reviewed every 3 years, but along with a number of other changes to the Licensing Act 2003 and the statutory guidance this frequency has been increased to 5 years.
