Greg Bickerdike, Section Leader Licensing, presented an update on the implementation of the Pavement Licence Regime, introduced by The Business and Planning Act 2020.

He stated that as a result of changes to The Business and Planning Bill prior to its enactment, the administration of Pavement Licences had changed from being a function of the Executive to a function of the Council.

The updated Pavement Licence Policy and the proposed Standard Pavement Licence Conditions were presented to the Committee.

Councillor Potter moved the recommendations. Councillor Brackenridge seconded the recommendations.

Resolved:

That Members of the Non-Statutory Licensing Committee:

1. Approved the revised Pavement Licence Policy and Standard Pavement Licence Conditions.
2. Confirmed the delegation of authority to determine applications, review licences and manage the appeal of decisions for Pavement Licences.
