Business and Planning Act 2020

Report of the Remembrancer.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Remembrancer in respect of relevant provisions of the Business and Planning Act 2020, which came into effect on 22 July, as it affects the interests of the Planning and Transportation Committee. 

 

Members noted that the Act introduced a new temporary regime for table and chair licences intended to help food and drink outlets trade and comply with social distancing guidelines. It also automatically extended on-sales alcohol licences to permit off-sales, allowing the sale of alcohol for consumption off-premises during the times that on-sales are permitted.

 

RESOLVED - That the requirements of the temporary regime be noted.
