The Licensing Committee
is responsible for the Council’s
Licensing Authority functions as required by law and has a
consultatory role in the formulation of licensing
policy. It also on occasion will carry
out film classification functions where licensing premises wish to
show films which are not classified by the British Board of Film
Classification.
The Committee establishes
Licensing Panels to determine individual applications for licences
in cases where objections have been received and when licences need
to be reviewed.
