The report was introduced by the Chairman of the Committee who invited Members to consider a minor review of the Council’s current Statement of Licensing Policy for the five-year period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2020 so as to include a policy for outdoor events. Some minor errors for correction were highlighted in the report and Appendix. The Chairman advised that the Policy would be updated next year however the current proposed amendments were to cover outdoor events for which license applications were expected to be received in the coming months.
