L.03/20
Consideration was given to a report that
sought to recommend to the Council that the draft Licensing Policy
be adopted.
In
discussion, reference was made to:-
(a)
some
minor
grammatical errors. It was agreed that
a Member who had noticed some minor grammatical errors within the
draft Policy would liaise with the report author and ensure that
these were included prior to it being presented to Council for
adoption;
(b)
the
representations
received during the public consultation exercise. On behalf of the Committee, the Chairman thanked
those members of the public and local stakeholders who had taken
the time to make representations during the public consultation
exercise. In particular, the Committee
hoped that a satisfactory resolution could be reached to the
response received from the representative of Totnes
Cinema;
(c)
the robustness of the draft Policy. The
Committee wished to put on record its thanks to the lead officer
for her work in producing the draft Policy. In addition, a Member advised that she had
attended a recent Licensing training event and felt that the draft
Policy was a robust document that would help both Members and
officers.
It
was then:
RESOLVED
That the Committee:
1.
has considered the draft
Licensing Policy (as detailed at Appendix A of the presented agenda
report) and responses received during the public consultation
exercise; and
2.
RECOMMEND
to Council that the draft
Licensing Policy (as detailed at Appendix A of the presented agenda
report) be adopted for the period from 7 January 2021 to 6 January
2026, subject to inclusion of the minor grammatical amendments (as
set out at discussion point (a) above).
