The Gambling Act
(2005) requires that all Licensing Authorities must publish a
statement of the principles of licensing that they wish to apply
when exercising their functions under the Act. This statement must
be published at least every 3 years and is therefore due for
review.
The Gambling Act (2005) requires Licensing Authorities to consult
on the statement of principles before publication.
The Council Meeting will be asked to approve a new statement of
principles taking into account the outcomes of the
consultation.
