The Licensing 1982 Act Hearing Panel is a sub-committee of the Licensing and Safety Committee. It operates in a quasi-judicial role to consider applications under Schedule 3 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982. This includes cases where there have been relevant objections or where proposed conditions from officers have not been agreed by the applicant. The panel's decisions are made by three councillors selected from a pre-agreed list.
