Licensing Act 2003 - Statement of Licensing Policy

About the Statement of Licensing Policy

The Statement of Licensing Policy aims to secure public safety, protect children from harm, prevent public nuisance and prevent crime and disorder whilst encouraging a sustainable leisure and entertainment industry.

The four aims listed above form the statutory licensing objectives that this policy, the Licensing Authority, and all licence holders must strive to achieve.

The Council recognises both the expectations of local residents for a safe and healthy environment in which to live and work, and the need for the provision of safe and well conducted entertainment and leisure facilities throughout the Borough.

The Policy aims to provide information and guidance to applicants, those making representations and other interested parties on the general considerations and approach that will be adopted by the Licensing Authority, the Council, in making determinations under the Licensing Act 2003.

Please see the Licensing Policy document attached to this page, that Doncaster Council adopted.
