Statement of Licensing Policy consultation
North Norfolk District Council is undertaking a statutory review of its Statement of Licensing Policy under the Licensing Act 2003.
Licensing authorities are required by law to publish and periodically review their Statement of Licensing Policy. The policy sets out how the Council will exercise its licensing functions in relation to premises licenses, club premises certificates, and temporary event notices.
This 4 week consultation seeks views on the draft Statement of Licensing Policy. Responses will be considered as part of the statutory review process before the policy is finalised and presented to the Council for a decision.
