Licensing Policy Consultation
Overview
Under Section 5 of the Licensing Act 2003 the licensing authority must review the Statement of Licensing Policy every 5 years. The purpose of the Licensing Policy is to promote the licensing objectives which are:
- The prevention of crime and disorder
- Public safety
- The prevention of public nuisance
- The protection of children from harm
There are prescribed procedures that the Council must undertake before the policy statement can take effect. This involves making the policy statement publicly available for consultation by a variety of means. Public consultations promote transparency. They allow residents to hold authorities accountable and ensure decisions align with community needs.
