Licensing Act 2003: Review of Statement of Licensing Policy |
The Chief Solicitor reported that the licensing authority had to prepare and publish a statement of its licensing policy every three years. The Council's first statement was adopted on 14 December 2004 and amended on 27 September 2005 following consideration of the High Court's verdict in the Canterbury case, which considered the Kent Model. A revised draft statement was considered by Members. RECOMMENDED: That the Council (1) adopt the draft Statement of Licensing Policy set out in Annex 1 to the Chief Solicitor's report for consultation purposes; and (2) confirm the action taken in authorising consultations to be commenced immediately prior to approval of the draft statement by Council. *Referred to Council |
