Minutes: The Licensing & Compliance Officer (AY) explained the purpose of the report was to request that the Licensing & Regulatory Committee consider the amendment to the current special policy on Cumulative Impact within the existing Statement of Licensing Policy as requested by the Purple Flag assessors. It was recommended that the Committee agree for the amended version of the Policy to be presented to Full Council on 19th July 2017 in order that the 12 week consultation may commence, with a view to adopt the amended policy on 13th December 2017. The Licensing & Compliance Officer (AY) then summarised the remainder of her report. The Chair asked Members if they had any questions for the Licensing & Compliance Officers. Members asked questions about the 12 week consultation period and how people would be informed of this, to which the Licensing & Compliance Officer (AY) mentioned that she had a list of consultees. A discussion took place about the impact of having the current policy and its effects on businesses in the Cumulative Impact Zone (CIZ), and the concerns raised by the Police about a complete removal of the current policy regarding the CIZ. The Licensing & Compliance Officer (AY) mentioned the amendment, as recommended, would be a more balanced way forward to resolve this. The recommendation was moved by Councillor T. Greenow and seconded by Councillor D.R Wright. Members were unanimously in favour. RESOLVED that the amended version of the Policy be
presented to Full Council on 19th July 2017 in order that the 12
week consultation may commence, with a view to adopt the amended policy on 13th
December 2017. |
