The Licensing and Appeals Committee of Broxtowe Council met on Tuesday, 11 June 2024, to discuss several key issues, including the modernisation of conditions for premises providing massage and special treatments, and the review of the Gambling Act Statement of Principles. Decisions were made to approve draft conditions and the revised Statement of Principles for public consultation. Additionally, a private hire driver's licence application was refused.

Modernisation of Conditions for Licensable Activities

The Committee reviewed the draft conditions to be attached to licences issued under the Nottinghamshire County Council Act 1985 for premises providing massage, special treatments, laser treatments, tanning, and sauna services. The draft conditions were approved for the purposes of public consultation. This move aims to modernise and standardise the conditions to ensure better compliance and safety.

Review of the Gambling Act Statement of Principles

Members considered the draft revised Statement of Principles for statutory consultation under the Gambling Act. The draft was approved for public consultation, marking a step towards updating the council's gambling policies to reflect current standards and practices.

Exclusion of Public and Press

The Committee resolved to exclude the public and press from part of the meeting under Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, citing the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 7 of Schedule 12A of the Act.

Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver's Licence

In a closed session, the Committee considered an application for a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver's Licence under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976. The application was refused.
