Licensing Committee recommended to Full Council that the final draft of the Licensing Act Statement of Policy (attached as Appendix 1 to the report) be adopted.

Full Council received a referral from the Licensing Committee on amendments to the Licensing Act Policy.

Proposed by Councillor Nick Churchill (seconded by Councillor Clive Souter) it was:

RESOLVED that the final draft of the Licensing Act Statement of Policy (attached as Appendix 1 to the report) be adopted.

The Committee received a report on the revised Statement of Licensing Policy.

It was noted that the sale of animals at events was not a licensable activity. Officers would speak to Community Safety to establish whether any protections had been put in place. It was also noted that the council could include a clause preventing the sale of animals at events in the terms of contract for the event.

RESOLVED that the Licensing Committee:

A    Recommended incorporating the revised text in paragraph five of the report to replace the draft consultation paragraph for temporary event notices.

B    Noted paragraph six of the report to update the policy on electronically submitted applications.

C    Recommended the final draft of the Licensing Act Statement of Policy (attached as Appendix 1 to the report) to Full Council for adoption.
