Licensing Law - Licensing Policy

 

Every licensing authority must issue a licensing authority; this must be published every 3 years and can be amended throughout this time.

When drafting the policy the below must be consulted:

• Chief Officer of Police
• Fire Authority
• Representatives of local premises licence holders
• Representatives of local club premises certificate holders
• Representatives of local personal licence holders
• Representatives if businesses and residents in the area

The local authority can also consult with other bodies should they deem necessary.  In the policy it will outline how licensing objectives should be met however it should not be restrictive i.e. how many licences can be held in a particular area.
