Licensing Act 2003 - Draft Statement of Licensing Policy - Consultation
Under the Licensing Act 2003, Huntingdonshire District Council, acting as the Licensing Authority for the Huntingdonshire District, has a statutory duty to adopt a Statement of Licensing Policy on how it proposes to exercise its functions under the Act.
The current Statement of Licensing Policy came into effect on 7 January 2016 for a period of Five years so will therefore expire on 6 January 2021.
We are writing to advise you that the council is again in the process of reviewing and updating the policy. The new version will come into effect on 7 January 2021 and last for a further period of 5 years, unless it is reviewed again in the interim.
The council would welcome any comments that you may wish to make on the content of The Licensing Act 2003 [PDF, 0.5MB]
Statement of Licensing Policy [PDF, 0.5MB].
Hard copies can be made available upon request. Comments should be sent to the Licensing Section at the address above, or by e-mail to licensing@huntingdonshire.gov.uk with a closing date for receipt of 11 September 2020. Please quote 'Licensing consultation response' and identify the relevant paragraph(s) you wish to make comment on.
The Authority will be considering responses at its meeting of the Licensing Committee on 30 September 2020. The statement, with any amendments, will be formally presented for adoption at a meeting of the council on 14 October 2020. All meetings are open to the public. The approved document will be available subsequently on the council’s website.
I hope that you find the draft policy of interest and I look forward to receiving any comments that you may have.
Yours sincerely
Myles Bebbington – Licensing Manager
