Minutes:
The Team Leader, Licensing, introduced the report which was to review the Statement of Licensing Policy under the Licensing Act 2003, and to provide a copy of the Draft Policy for 2016 – 2020 for consideration prior to the commencement of consultation.
This was the fourth Statement of Licensing Policy to be issued and outlined the expectation of the Licensing Authority in relation to applicants. Details were also provided on what applicants and service users could expect from the Licensing Authority.
A thorough review of the current policy had been undertaken, taking into account a number of changes to the Act and the latest revised Guidance from the Home Office issued under section 182 of the Act. The draft Policy was shown as Appendix A to the report.
In response to a question from Councillor Dolphin, the Team Leader explained that the Policy was promoted through Community Safety, Trading Standards and the licensed trade. It would also be possible to promote it at the Flintshire Connects venues.
RESOLVED:
That the report be noted.
