Licensing Policy / Licensing Act 2003
The council as a 'Licensing authority' is required under s5(1) of the Licensing Act 2003 to determine its policy with respect to the exercising of its licensing functions under the Act. The council must publish its policy and must review it every three years or at other such times as it considers appropriate.
This policy was formulated after consultation with :
- the Chief Officer of the Police for the Adur District
- the Fire Authority for the Adur District
- holders of premises licences, club premises certificates, or their representatives, and representatives of businesses and residents within its area, licence-holders, residents groups, parish councils for their views.
- Licensing Policy Statement - including Review of Licensing Policy Statement
- Applying for a licence
- Applying for a temporary event notice (TEN)
