Agenda item

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

A report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection which set out a revised draft text of the Licensing Policy together with a timescale for consultation and publication was considered. The report highlighted that although it was not statutorily due for a review until 2016 it was felt that due to changes in the City Corporation’s policies and procedures, the introduction of a new code of conduct and major legislative changes to the Licensing Act 2003 there was a need to revise and update the Statement of Licensing Policy sooner.

RESOLVED – That -

i)             the draft Licensing Policy text be approved for consultation and;

ii)           the time table and methodology to determine the final text and adoption of the Statement of Licensing Policy be approved.
