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.
