The Regulatory Compliance Officer submitted report GD.39/22 which provided the current position regarding applications under the Licensing Act 2003. He reported on the licence figures as at 21 June 2022. The report detailed the New Premises Licenses and Temporary Event Notices which had been issued during the reporting period. Members raised some concerns with regard to the verification checks that were being undertaken for doorstep deliveries of alcohol. They asked for clarity on who had the responsibility for doorstep deliveries and how verification checks were carried out.
The Regulatory Compliance Officer agreed to provide a written response to the Panel. A Member noted the low number of Temporary Event Notices that had been received to date and asked if Covid 19 continued to impact the number of applications and if it was expected to rise. The Regulatory Compliance Officer responded that the figures contained in the report reflected the first half of the year, should this trend continue then the overall figure would be slightly under the annual average. RESOLVED - 1) That the Licensing Act 2023 Update be noted (GD.39/22)
