Statement of Licensing Policy
Statement of Licensing Policy
The Licensing Act 2003 controls the sale of alcohol, regulated entertainment, and late-night refreshment.
We're required to prepare and publish a statement of its licensing policy at least every five years. The existing policy will expire on 31 March, 2026.
We were seeking your views on the Draft Statement of Licensing Policy 2025 - 2030 (PDF 715KB). The draft policy includes some amendments. For that purpose the Statement of Licensing Policy Consultation document (PDF 117KB) summarised the proposed changes.
The regular review and adoption of The Statement of Licensing Policy is essential in ensuring that our policies and procedures are up to date and effective in ensuring a safe and regulated environment for users of licensed premises.
Taking part
The deadline for comments was 19 September, 2025.
