The Licensing Committee oversees the
development and application of the Council’s Licensing Policy
(adopted by Full Council), ensuring it is in line with the
Licensing Act 2003 and Gambling Act 2005. It establishes Licensing Panels and the Special
Licensing Panel to determine individual applications for licences
in cases where objections have been received and when licences need
to be reviewed.
The Committee meets as and when required and
is made up of 13 councillors.
Meetings are open to the public.
