Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

N.B. This Item is to be read in conjunction with the appendix at Item No. 14.

Members received a report from the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection. The report detailed the premises licences and variations to premises licences granted under the Licensing Act 2003 by the Licensing Service from 1 April 2017 to 30 June 2017. It did not include any premises where Members had been involved in the decision making process i.e. decisions made at licensing sub-committee hearings.

The report provided a summary of the enforcement action taken under the Licensing Act 2003 between 1 April 2017 to 30 June 2017. The report also presented data from the ‘traffic light’ risk scheme introduced within the City of London on 1 April 2013 with the data covering the period 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017.

In response to a question as to whether the condition requiring the imposition of CCTV was being overused, Members were informed that the condition is being included by applicants in their applications as opposed to being imposed by officers.

In response to a question as to how many active licenses are in the square mile, members were advised that there are 851.

RESOLVED – That, Members note the report.
