Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection (copy attached).

A report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection detailed the premises licences and variations to premises licences granted under the Licensing Act 2003 by the Licensing Service from 1 January 2013 to 31 March 2013. The report also provided a summary of the enforcement action taken under the Licensing Act 2003 between 1 January 2013 and 31 March 2013.

A discussion took place on the conditions placed on the premises licences granted under delegated authority. In response to a question by a Member the Licensing Manager explained that a number of conditions were offered by the applicant in question and a compromise had been reached on the number of conditions placed on the premises licence.

Members emphasised that the conditions placed on premises licences should be minimal, effective and enforceable.

In relation to a question raised by a Member on the breakdown of complaints the Licensing Manager explained that reports would contain more detail in the future.
