Statement of Principles
The Council is required to produce a statement of licensing
policy, known as a ‘statement of principles’, which has to be
reviewed and republished every three years and changes consulted
on. All functions undertaken by the licensing authority must be in
accordance with the three key licensing objectives.
The statement sets out the Council’s general
approach to the exercising of its functions. It does not override
the right of any person to make an application under the Act and to
have that application considered on its own merits. Nor does it
undermine or preclude the right of any responsible body or
interested party to make representations or an application to seek
a review of a licence. In producing the statement the Council had
regard to the licensing objectives issued by the Gambling
Commission and responses from those consulted on this
statement.
Broxbourne Borough Council’s Statement of
Principles is available to view below. It was adopted by the
Council at its full meeting on 27 October 2009 and covers
the period from 2009 to 2012.
