CONSULTATION – REVIEW OF WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL’S STATEMENT OF LICENSING POLICY – GIVE YOUR VIEWS BY 19th MAY 2023
The Licensing Act 2003 requires Waverley to have a Statement of Licensing Policy, that it keeps this under review, and that it must completely review the Policy within every five year period. The current Waverley Policy has been in place since January 2018, and requires updating including reference to the new revised licensing Guidance (December 2022). The policy will be reviewed over the next few months, this will lead up to a new Policy being in place by August 2023 for a five-year period, unless amended earlier.
In the first instance, Council Officers have looked at the Policy, and made some necessary changes to it as a result, before the formal consultation began. The Council is now formally seeking your views on its Statement of Licensing Policy. The Policy itself, as amended can be found on the Waverley website Licensing consultations (waverley.gov.uk) If this is not a convenient format for you, and you do not already have a copy of the current Policy, please contact this office and ask for a copy to be sent to you.
There are three ways that you may comment on the existing Policy or propose changes, making sure that the comments arrive here not later than 19th May 2023:
- You may email your comments to [email protected] or
- You may use the form below (and a separate sheet if necessary); or
- You may write to us at the above address, sending your letter/form to the Licensing Section, Council Offices, The Burys, Godalming, Surrey GU7 1HR.
All comments will then be placed before the relevant Licensing Committee and the Council for final consideration and approval, and it is intended that the policy as revised following this consultation will be in place by August 2013. The new policy will then be placed on Waverley’s website.
The deadline for responses on this consultation is 19th May 2023. I look forward to hearing from you before then.
Kind regards
