LICENSING ENFORCEMENT SUB-COMMITTEE

The Terms of Reference of a Licensing Sub-Committee shall include the functions of the Licensing and Public Safety Committee with the exception of the consideration of policy issues, which the Licensing and Public Safety Committee has reserved to itself.

MATTERS RESERVED TO THE LICENSING ENFORCEMENT SUB COMMITTEE

1.            Applications for a licence, consent or permit where a representation has been received from a ward councillor, a member of the public or an external organisation, (excluding the Licensing Act 2003 and Gambling Act 2005).

2.            Applications for a licence, consent or permit where the Director Neighbourhoods & Environmental Services considers that the existing policy does not provide sufficient clarity on determining the application and/or where it would be more appropriate for the application to be determined by the Sub- Committee.

3.            Applications for a licence, consent or permit which the law determines cannot be taken by an officer.

All matters within the Terms of Reference of a Licensing Sub-Committee which are not reserved to Full Council, the Licensing and Public Safety Committee or a Sub- Committee as stated above, are delegated to the Director Neighbourhoods & Environmental Services.

N.B.    The City Council’s Constitution Council Procedure Rule Part 4A rule 44 (i) (iv) states that decisions which, in the opinion of the Monitoring Officer, are of a quasi- judicial nature, which includes the decisions of a Licensing Sub- Committee may not be the subject of an “Objection”.
