Foreword

Section 6 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (the Act) requires all licensing authorities such as the South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) (the Board) to publish a statement of licensing policy (the policy) before the beginning of each licensing period. The licensing policy period commences 18 months after Local Government elections. This statement fulfils that statutory requirement for the Board. This policy will be subject to ongoing consultation with stakeholders and will be kept under review. This policy will remain in force unless otherwise amended until November 2028.

Prior to the publication of this policy, the Board will have consulted with

the local licensing forum for the Board’s area

such other person or persons who appear to the Board to be representative of holders of licences

Police Scotland

persons having functions relating to health, education and social work, and young people (if not already represented on the forum)

the relevant Health Board

persons resident within the licensing forum’s area

such other persons as the Board thinks appropriate and

community councils for the Board area

relevant Council Resources

South Lanarkshire Community Planning Partnership

In preparing the policy, the Board has considered the statutory guidance issued by the Scottish Government under section 142 of the Act. In particular, the Board has recognised its duty to promote the five licensing objectives set out at section 4 of the Act.

preventing crime and disorder

securing public safety

preventing public nuisance

protecting and improving public health and

protecting children and young persons from harm.

Section A – General

1	Introduction

The South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) is the licensing authority for the purposes of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 and is responsible for regulating and administering

premises licences

occasional licences

temporary licences

provisional licences

personal licences

variations of licences

transfers of licences

extensions of licensing hours

in the area which it covers in respect of

the sale of alcohol by retail

the supply of alcohol in members’ clubs

South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) is one of four divisions of South Lanarkshire Licensing Board.

South Lanarkshire is the fifth largest of Scotland’s council areas, with a population of 322,630 in 2021living in an area of 700 square miles. It is a varied area, with heavily populated towns and extensive rural areas. Although the council has 64 councillors rather than one councillor for each ward there are multi member wards comprising either three or four councillors.

South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) has the following membership

Andy Carmichael (Convener)	Celine Handibode

Ross Clark	Martin Grant Hose

Cal Dempsey	Mark McGeever

Maureen Devlin	Davie McLachlan (Depute Convener)

Colin Dewar	Helen Toner

All members of the Licensing Board are Councillors.

There has been a relatively constant number of premises requiring licences over the last few years and at the time of this policy review there were 284 licensed premises (including provisional licences) in the Board’s area.

Under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 licences are issued with a single licence known as a premises licence.

The Board has a duty under the Act to carry out its various licensing functions with a view to promoting the five licensing objectives. These are

preventing crime and disorder

securing public safety

preventing public nuisance

protecting and improving public health and protecting children and young persons from harm

The pursuit of these five objectives is a principal feature of this Board’s policy. The Board will consider all applications on their merits within the context of this Licensing Policy Statement. The objectives provide a basis for refusal of an application for the grant of a premises licence or of an occasional licence. Their breach may lead to the imposition of sanctions on a personal licence holder or provide grounds for the review of a premises licence. Conditions attached to a premises or occasional licence may be based on any of the objectives.

The Act further required that the Board publishes a statement of licensing policy which sets out the policies the Board will generally apply to promote the licensing objectives when making decisions on applications.

The Board is required to have regard to the guidance issued by the Scottish Government and to consult with

the local licensing forum for the Board’s area

such other person or persons who appear to the Board to be representative of holders of licences

the Chief Constable of Police Scotland

persons having functions relating to health, education, social work, young people

the relevant Health Board

persons resident within the licensing division’s area and such other persons as the Board things appropriate

It should be recognised that this policy covers a wide variety of activities and premises and cannot provide for every eventuality but seeks to detail those factors and the Board’s policies which will influence the achievement of the objectives.

This policy does not seek to prevent any individual applying under the terms of the Act and to have such an application considered on its individual merits. It does not seek to override the right of any person to make representations on an application or to seek a review of a licence where provision has been made for this in the Act.

Consultation and links to other policies, strategies and legislation

In developing this policy, the Board has consulted widely and given due consideration to the views of all those who have responded to the consultation process. There are many organisations and people who have a stake in the leisure industry, including providers, customers, residents, law enforcers and the emergency services, all of whom have views and concerns that require consideration in the promotion of the licensing objectives. The Board also consults with those involved in and responsible for its local strategies on crime prevention, planning, transport, culture, tourism and economic development.

In determining a licence application, the overriding principle to be adopted is that each application will be determined on its merits. Any conditions which are imposed will be tailored to the individual application.

The Board will avoid duplication with other regulatory regimes and will not use its powers under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 to arrive at outcomes that can be achieved under other legislation or by other enforcement agencies. Therefore, licence conditions will not be imposed where other regulatory regimes provide sufficient protection to the public In particular, the Board’s licensing functions will be discharged separately from the South Lanarkshire Council’s functions as the local planning authority. The Board recognises that planning and licensing regimes are separate and that the processing of licensing applications should be an exercise distinct from the processing of planning applications. The Board as the licensing authority will not be bound by decisions made by the South Lanarkshire Council as the local planning authority. Applicants for licences are reminded that planning permission may be required for certain uses and that planning consents may carry conditions.

It is appropriate that planning permission is obtained first, or alternatively that an appropriate certificate has been obtained in terms of the proposed activities and trading hours.

The formulation of this policy will involve consultation with the South Lanarkshire Licensing Forum for the Hamilton area which will keep under review the operation of the Act in this Board’s area and will advise and make recommendations to the Board as appropriate. The Board will have regard to any advice given or recommendations made to it or give reasons where it felt it was inappropriate to do so. To ensure proper communication with the South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) Licensing Forum, the Board may provide reports to it from time to time to enable it to have regard to the detail of such matters when deliberating.

In addition to the Local Licensing Forum the Board will consult with:

Holders of premises licences and personal licences in the Board’s area;

The Chief Constable

NHS

South Lanarkshire Council Education Resources

South Lanarkshire Council Social Work Resources

South Lanarkshire Council Community and Enterprise Resources

Residents in the Board’s Area and such other persons as the Board thinks fit

All premises for which a licence is being sought will be expected to comply so far as is reasonably practicable with the building standards requirements in force at the time of their construction, or at the time of any alteration. This is particularly relevant in respect of the licensing objectives relating to public health and public safety. Where construction work is proposed or completed, the applicant should be able to produce appropriate certificates issued by the local authority.

There is considerable overlap between the licensing regime and the wider health and safety regulatory regimes. Many specific licensing requirements relate to matters potentially affecting public health and public safety, two of the licensing objectives.

The Equality Act 2010 confers on the Licensing Board a general equality duty which requires us in the exercise of our functions to have regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other prohibited conduct and advance equality of opportunity between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not and foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

The Board recognises its responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 and the impact of this policy will be monitored through the Board’s Equality Report and the Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessment completed as part of the review of this policy. The Board will have regard to any strategy of the Scottish Government designed to address the social health and crime and disorder issues raised by the misuse of alcohol. Applications for licences and disposal of business

The Board will give notifications of applications for grants of new licences, major variations and occasional licences via the Council’s website. The Board has also introduced an ‘opt in list’ facility and will notify those persons on the ‘opt in list’ of all applications in their area. Said notifications will be sent to those persons immediately after the appropriate advert has been placed on the Council website.

When assessing applications for premises licences, the Board must be satisfied that the measures proposed aim to achieve the five licensing objectives. Therefore, the Board may require the applicant to satisfy them at a hearing that the application will be consistent with the five licensing objectives.

The Board will expect individual applicants to address the five licensing objectives when applying for a premises licence. In certain circumstances the Board may require the premises to demonstrate how the premises will be good neighbours to both residents and to other venues and businesses.

In respect of each of the five licensing objectives, the Board will expect applicants to provide evidence that suitable and sufficient measures will be implemented and maintained, relevant to the individual style and characteristics of their premises and activities. The Board may ask for information on what additional measures, if any, to be taken on an occasional or specific basis, such as when a special event or promotion is planned, which is likely to attract larger audiences.

Any premises licence application which fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 20 of the Act and any regulations made under the Act will not be accepted and will be returned to the applicant.

The Board will deal with all of its business in an open and transparent manner. Information will be made available to those persons who wish to apply for a licence, to make representations or to lodge objections. The Board is aware of the need to be accessible to all in order to ensure compliance with its equality duty under the Equality Act 2010 and assistance will be available on request to those who require any special arrangements to be made.

Delegation of licensing functions

It is the Board’s intention to provide a speedy, efficient and cost-effective service to all parties involved in the licensing process.

Decisions on licensing matters will be taken in accordance with an approved scheme of delegation aimed at ensuring timely, efficient and cost effective decision making.

The scheme has been made by the Board in accordance with the Act. The scheme sets out decisions which may be made by the Clerk to the Board or his/her staff. The scheme is attached at Appendix 1.

To ensure the Board is aware of the nature and types of applications being granted under delegated powers, reports will be made to the Board at regular intervals.

The meetings of the Board will be held in public, although members may retire into private sessions to consider their decision. The Board may determine that a meeting will be held in person, by remote means such as videoconference, or a combination of those methods. When making a decision in relation to the format of a meeting any views expressed by participants will be taken into consideration. Notification of application, objections and representations

The Board will give notice of each premises licence application it receives to those persons referred to in the Act, namely

each person with a notifiable interest in neighbouring land

any community council within whose area the premises are situated

South Lanarkshire Council

the Chief Constable of Police Scotland

the relevant Health Board

the enforcing authority in terms of Section 61 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005; and

persons on the ‘opt in list’

The Board expect the Chief Constable of Police Scotland to consider all applications and to provide one of the statutory notices as appropriate.

The Board will consider all relevant representations or objections from any person as defined in section 22 of the Act. Objections or representations which are regarded as frivolous or vexatious may not be considered and in the case of an application for the review of a licence if it does not disclose any matter relevant to any ground for review the Board may reject it.

Any person may submit an objection or representation to the Board, but any objection must be relevant to one or more of the grounds of refusal set out in section 23(5) of the Act.

If an objection or representation is received late, and the Board finds there are good reasons to consider it, consideration will be given in the interests of justice to a continuation of the application to a future meeting of the Board. If the Board considers that there is no good reason for the objection being lodged late, the objection will be treated as not made.

Conditions attaching to licences

The Board acknowledges the mandatory conditions laid down in Schedules 3and 4 of the Act.

Where relevant representations are made, the Board will make an objective judgement as to whether other conditions may need to be attached to a licence to achieve the licensing objectives. Any conditions arising as a result of representations will primarily focus on the impact of the activities taking place at the licensed premises, on those attending the premises and members of the public living, working or engaged in normal activity in the vicinity of the premises, and will cover matters that are within the control of the licence holder and related to the sale and/or consumption of alcohol on the premises.

The Board recognises that all applications should be considered on their own merits. Any condition attached to a licence will either be derived from the licence holder’s operating plan, Licensing Board’s own local knowledge, or as a result of a representation and will be tailored to each individual premises.

The Board believes that it would be helpful, but not essential, for applicants to offer conditions which they consider are necessary to comply with the five licensing objectives.

If an applicant volunteers a prohibition or restriction in their operating plan because their own assessment has determined such prohibition or restriction to be appropriate, such volunteered prohibition or restriction if accepted will become a condition attached to the licence and will be enforceable as such.

The Board considers that there are certain areas which it views as ‘Best Practice’ and would like to see these adopted by all licensed premises where appropriate: -

The introduction and continued use of a style of a refusals book which includes: -

date of incident

name of staff/people involved and

full details of the incident

The Board also considers it ‘best practice’ where, in respect of 18th birthday celebrations, a premises licence holder maintains a record of all bookings/events or functions held on the premises. This should include the name, address and telephone number of the organiser. It may also be appropriate for the premises manager to carry out a risk assessment for each such event, which assessment should cover the decision whether or not to employ door stewards. Such a risk assessment should be available for inspection by either the Licensing Standards Officer or a representative from Police Scotland.

Where SIA door stewards are used, they wear high visibility jackets/vests with the SIA badge clearly displayed.

Each premise should make promotional material relating to health issues available during alcohol awareness week.

Premises should provide a dispersal noise and control of smokers’ policy which explains the measures they have put in place to prevent noise nuisance/ disturbance being caused to adjoining premises. This should be available for inspection by the Licensing Board if requested.

The Board acknowledges that licensing legislation is not the primary mechanism for the general control of nuisance and antisocial behaviour by individuals once they are no longer on the licensed premises and beyond the direct control of the individual, club or business holding of the licence concerned.

Licenceholders whose premises are licensed for consumption of alcohol off the premises should ensure that appropriate records of all deliveries are retained and that all deliveries will be made to a residential premises, . for clarification no deliveries will be made to parks or waste ground and they should ensure that all delivery drivers receive sufficient training to ensure deliveries are not intercepted prior to reaching the actual destination.

Where premises are open late at night the Board would strongly encourage licence holders to consider staff transport arrangements and adopt “safe home” initiatives for the safety of staff working late at night

Where premises operate an online facility for alcohol sales the Board consider that it is Best Practice if the following safeguards are put in place: -

Challenge 25 in operation;

All deliveries should be signed for;

All deliveries are made to premises, for clarification no deliveries will be made to parks or waste ground. Deliveries should not be made to unoccupied buildings Any applicant for a premises licence which involves the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises should be prepared to address the Board on the following: -

Whether or not they propose to deliver alcohol;

What methods they have in place to ensure that the statutory procedures are followed;

If they do not intend to deliver alcohol whether they are willing to accept a condition being attached to that effect.

Duty to Trade

The Board has considered the issue of duty to trade and has decided that it will adopt a commonsense approach and will only intervene in situations where a licensed premises has not traded for a reasonable length of time or where a lengthy departure from the operating plan appears to indicate that a variation of licence would be appropriate.

Consideration of applications by the Board

When considering any premises licence, the Board will consider each application on its own merits. The Board in considering whether any licence should be granted will assess the likelihood of having an adverse impact on the licensing objections.

However, in the event of there being no representations or objections from the relevant body the Board will assume that these issues comply with the appropriate regulation. The Board will also take into account such matters including

the nature of the premises, the style and type of use, the potential number and profile of the customers likely to attend the premises

the proposed hours of operation

whether children and/or young persons are to have access to the premises or parts of premises and under what conditions/ regulations

the need for door supervisors

any potential areas giving rise to crime, disorder or public nuisance and any proposed measures intended to reduce such potential

Where it is possible to take steps to mitigate or prevent any potential impact the Board may still be able to grant a licence subject to conditions; each case will be considered on its merits and appropriate advice will be sought by the Board.

The Board where an application is made for the confirmation of a provisional premises licence may for the purposes of ensuring consistency with any licensing policy statement since the licence was issued make a variation of conditions.

When considering any application for premises which have been previously licensed, or in any review of an existing licence, the Board will take into account any relevant evidence, especially of the impact on local residents and will also look at the measures the applicant/licence holder have put in place to mitigate the adverse impact.

Overprovision – See separate consultation

Occupancy capacity

The occupancy capacity of a premises is an important factor in the assessment of overprovision for the purpose of this policy statement. It is a factor in the grounds of refusal of a premises licence on the basis of overprovision.

Review of premises licences

A licence may be reviewed on the application of any person on the grounds specified in section 36 of the Act. A review will include consideration being given to the suspension, revocation or variation of a licence or alternatively to the issue of a written warning.

If a premises licence review application does not disclose any matter relevant to any ground for review or if it is vexatious or frivolous the Board may reject it.

Where a premises comes before the Board in connection with a review of its licence, depending on the reason for the review, the Board will seek to be addressed on the following items (this is not meant to be an exhaustive list):

the operation of “Challenge 25”

whether the premises operate with plastic or toughened glass, particularly in outside areas (this would be of particular importance if the grounds for review relating to allegations of disturbance/nuisance).

whether a risk assessment was carried out in respect of 18th birthday celebrations as referred to at paragraph 6.6 above.

whether an events log in respect of 18th birthday celebrations has been kept as referred to at paragraph 6.6 above.

what measures are in place to ensure noise nuisance/disturbance to neighbouring premises is kept to a minimum. These would relate to minimising nuisance/disturbance caused by patrons dispersing/utilising smoking/outside areas.

if the review relates to the delivery of alcohol what measures, including training is now in place to ensure the statutory requirements are complied with.

Occasional licences

An occasional licence authorises the temporary sale or supply of alcohol which is not authorised by a premises licence.

It may be applied for by

the holder of a premises licence

the holder of a personal licence

a representative of any voluntary organisation to cover a period of a maximum of 14 days.

Where an occasional licence is applied for by a voluntary organisation, the event taking place must be in connection with the voluntary organisation’s activities.Any applicant for such a licence should be aware of their responsibility, if necessary, to apply for a public entertainment licence issued under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, where appropriate.

The Board recognises the right of any person to object to an application for an occasional licence in terms of section 58 of the Act.

All applications for occasional licences would be advertised on the Council website.

The grant of an occasional licence is subject to the mandatory conditions laid out in schedule 4 to the Act.

Event organisers are encouraged to provide as much notice of their event as possible to the Board and the Chief Constable of Police but no later than 28 days before the event is due to take place. If the application is lodged less than 28 days prior to the event the applicant will be asked to explain the reason for the application being lodged late. In some cases, the application will not be able to be processed due to the lack of time.

Where an occasional licence has been granted to a voluntary organisation it is expected that at least one member of the organisation should be present for the duration of the event.

Repeated applications for Occasional Licence for the same unlicensed premises, and which are: -

Not for detailed specific events; and/or

for activities that have been occurring (either in identical or largely similar terms) on the premises regularly over a period of at least 3 months;

will not generally be considered to be suitable for the grant of an Occasional Licence and will not be granted by the Board under delegated authority but will require a hearing before the Board. The Board expects such premises to be operating under a Premises Licence.

Section 59(6) of the Act specifies the grounds for refusal of an application for an Occasional Licence. These grounds include “that the Licensing Board considers the granting of the application would be inconsistent with one or more of the licensing objectives”. These licensing objectives include: -

Securing public safety.

Protecting and improving public health.

The degree of scrutiny afforded by an application for a Premises Licence is not present where premises operate under a series of consecutive Occasional Licences. Accordingly, in the interests of better securing public safety and/or for better protecting and improving public health, the Board considers that it is not generally appropriate for a premises to operate on a series of consecutive Occasional Licences rather than apply for a Premises Licence and, in these circumstances, the Board will require an applicant to explain why an application for a Premises Licence is not being made.

Extended hours applications

The Board may on application extend the licensed hours in respect of licensed premises by such period as the Board considers appropriate. This can only be in respect of (a) a special event or occasion to be catered for on the premises, or (b) a special event of local or significance importance. Such an extension will only last for a maximum period of one month.

The applicant will be required to satisfy the Board that the hours sought are appropriate in the circumstances of the application. It will be the responsibility of the applicant to provide the Board with sufficient information to enable it to reach a decision. The information which will assist the Board in making a decision will include:

the hours sought;

the description of the special event or occasion;

what activities are proposed;

if more than one activity, the duration of each activity; and

the reason for the event or occasion being regarded as special and requiring extended hours.

The Board will not grant an extended hours application where the applicant fails to satisfy the Board that a genuine special event is taking place and the application merely relates to an extra hours drinking time. Where the applicant is seeking extended hours then they must clearly demonstrate to the Board on their application the nature of the special event taking place.

The Board considers that this approach is consistent with the protection of public health objective under the Act. If the Board receives a number of applications to extend licensed hours it will expect the applicant to consider whether an application should be made to vary the premises licence, by adjustment of the operating plan.

Section 67 determination

The Board may decide under section 67 of the Act to extend licensed hours to enable premises to remain open longer for certain special occasions. The Board prior to reaching its decision will request observations from the Chief Constable of Police Scotland and from other relevant parties on the issues of crime prevention and public safety. The Board will notify the Chief Constable of Police Scotland, holders of licences and other relevant parties of its decision and will take appropriate steps to publicise the determination as widely as possible.

Licensed hours and extended hours

While each application is dealt with on its own particular merits, the Licensing Board intends to introduce the following policy on licensing hours. Any application which seeks licensed hours out with the Board’s policy will require to demonstrate to the Board that the additional requested hours are appropriate in the circumstances.

Off-sales

For applications relating to premises licences and to occasional licences, the licensed hours for the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises (off-sales hours) are 10am to 10pm each day. The Licensing Board has no discretion to permit licensed hours out with these times. In determining applications and licensed hours within these times, the Board will, in considering the merits, have particular regard to the effect (if any) which the proposed off-sales hours would have on the occurrence of antisocial behaviour.

On-sales

For applications relating to premises licences including extensions of hours, the licensed hours for the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises (on-sales hours) the

Licensing Board considers the commencement of the sale of alcohol shall be no earlier than 11am (Monday to Sunday).

Licensed hours for on-sales premises in particular can have an impact not only within the individual premise but also within the locality in which the premises are situated. Taking into account the five licensing objectives, the presumption against 24 hour drinking and the Guidance for Licensing Boards and Local Authorities issued by the Scottish Government and that mandatory conditions specified by Regulation apply to those premises opening after 1am, the Licensing Board considers the following to be appropriate for the terminal hour beyond which alcohol must not be sold on the premises or parts of premises.

For clarification the Board recognises the requirement contained in Section 64 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 which contains the presumption against 24 hour opening of licensed premises. The Board would refuse such application unless it is satisfied that there are exceptional circumstances which in its view would justify allowing the sale of alcohol on the premises during that period.

The Board noted that during the consultation period for this policy that responses had been received requesting that the previous practice of granting an extension to 1am on either a Friday or Saturday be discontinued, and extensions be permitted on both nights.

Accordingly, the Board agreed that on-sales premises or parts of premises where the supply of alcohol for consumption is ancillary to a table meal taken by persons within the premises and premises offering no significant entertainment facilities for example those premises or parts of premises where the provision of alcohol is the principle activity and significant entertainment facilities are not provided.

Period	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday

Premises offering significant entertaining in function rooms: Members clubs

Premises or parts of premises which ordinarily fall under “Premises offering no significant entertainment facilities” but which have a separate function room (for example a function room with a separate entrance).

Entertainment/functions considered acceptable for this purpose included dances, discos, dinner-dances, wedding receptions and parties where a disco or band is provided.

Entertainment/functions not considered acceptable for this purpose include darts, dominos or pool competitions or karaoke evenings where there is no significant entertainment.

Where live entertainment is not an integral part of the function then this would also not be acceptable, for example background piano music.

Annually except festive period	11am to 1am	11am to 1am	11am to 1am	11am to 1am	11am to 1am	11am to 1am	11am to 1am

Premises offering significant entertainment facilities and subject to conditions the Board may impose Premises or parts of premises where the provision of alcohol to persons frequenting the premises for consumption on the premises is ancillary to the significant entertainment provided and subject to conditions the Licensing Board may impose in relation to such premises. These include nightclubs.

Period	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Annually except festive period	11am to 3am	11am to 3am	11am to 3am	11am to 3am	11am to 3am	11am to 3am	11am to 3am

Festive trading

The Board has an existing practice of permitting longer licensed hours over the Festive period, and that will continue to be the case. The Festive period, and the hours of trading for the purpose of this aspect of the policy, will be determined by the Board on an annual basis.

Extended hours applications

The Licensing Board may extend the licensed hours in respect of premises by such period as the Board considers appropriate. The Board will normally only do so in connection with

(i) a special event or occasion to be catered for on the premises, or (ii) a special event of local or national significance. The grant of an extension of licensed hours can only last for one month.

Where the hours sought fall out with the on-sales hours specified in this statement, the applicant will have to demonstrate the hours requested are appropriate in the circumstances. The applicant should provide the Board sufficient information to enable a decision to be made. This will include

the hours sought

the description of the special event or occasion

what activities are proposed to take place during those hours

when each activity will take place

why the event or occasion is considered to be special and

why the event or occasion cannot take place within the on-sales hours specified above.

Licensing Standards Officers

South Lanarkshire Council has three Licensing Standards Officers (LSO) who work across all South Lanarkshire Licensing Divisions. Licensing Standards Officers will investigate allegations of unlicensed activities, ensure that licence conditions are complied with and provide information and guidance and a mediation service. The Licensing Standards Officers will be based within the Administration and Legal Services division of Finance and Corporate Resources and may be contacted as noted at paragraph 6 of the preamble to this policy.

There is a firm commitment to ensuring that the LSOs are given all assistance necessary to ensure that they are able to carry out their functions efficiently and effectively including participating as members of the South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) Licensing Forum.

The Licensing Standards Officer will carry out the roles and responsibilities set out under the Act, including:

providing guidance and information on the operation of the Act in South Lanarkshire;

checking that licence holders are complying with the terms of the legislation and their licence conditions; and

providing a mediation service in order to resolve disagreements and disputes between licence holders and other persons;

visit licensed premises as laid down in the Licensing Enforcement policy agreed at the meeting of the Members’ Internal Policy Forum held on 25 April 2013;

commenting where appropriate on applications for personal licences.

Section 15 of the Act gives Licensing Standards Officers power to enter and inspect licensed premises to establish compliance with the premises or occasional licence or any other requirements of the Act. In addition, along with the Police, they have powers under Section 137 to enter premises for the purposes of assessing the likely effect on the promotion of the Licensing Objectives of the grant of certain applications or the effect of the sale of alcohol under the licence in relation to the licensing objectives. The Act also provides that anyone preventing those persons from undertaking this task will be guilty of an offence. The Licensing Standards Officers also have the power to take copies of, or of an entry in, any document found on the premises and seize and remove any substances, articles or documents found in the premises. These powers introduced by the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 are subject to important safeguards.

Licence holders and those managing and working on the premises are under a duty to cooperate with and assist the Licensing Standards Officer in the performance of his/her functions and to provide any information or documents requested.

In addition to the powers set out above, the LSO has the power under section 14 of the Act to serve notice on the holder of a licence where they believe that any condition of the licence is being breached. Where a licence holder fails to comply with the notice to the LSO’s satisfaction, the LSO may make a premises licence review application.

Without prejudice to the above paragraph, the LSO has the power to seek review of a premises licence where a competent ground for review exists.

Resources will be targeted towards high-risk premises and activities that require greater attention. A lighter touch will be applied to those premises which are low risk for example are shown to be well managed and maintained. This approach is reinforced in the abovementioned policy.

South Lanarkshire Council delivers a wide range of enforcement services aimed at safeguarding the environment and the community and at providing a level playing field. The enforcement of the licensing regime is one of these services. The council and therefore the Board has adopted the Government’s Enforcement Concordat designed to ensure effective and efficient public protection services. Specifically, the Board is committed to the principles of good enforcement practice by carrying out its regulatory functions in a fair, open and consistent manner.

The Board recognises the interests of both citizens and businesses and will work closely with its partners, to assist licence holders to comply with the law and the five licensing objectives it seeks to promote. Proportionate but firm action will be taken against those who commit offences.

The Board expects enforcement agencies to adopt a similar approach and will seek to work actively with them to enforce the licensing legislation. In particular the Board anticipates cooperation with the police and to share information where appropriate in order to enhance the promotion of the five licensing objectives.

Management of licensed premises

Within the operating plan for premises on which alcohol will be sold, a premises manager must be specified (unless the licenceholder is a Members’ Club). The Board expects the premises manager to have the day to day responsibility for running the premises and to be present at the licensed premises on a regular basis when alcohol is being sold. The premises manager must have in place appropriate arrangements for monitoring.

The premises manager must hold a personal licence.

Licences ceasing to have effect (Section 28(5)(b))

Section 28 details the period of effect of a premises licence. A premises licence ceases to have effect on the occurrence of certain events. This section of the policy deals with the situation when the licence has ceased to have effect in terms of Section 28(5)(b) – that is when the premises in respect of which the licence was issued, cease to be used for the sale of alcohol for a reason other than the surrender or revocation of the licence.

The Board will consider the individual circumstances in each case before finding that a licence has ceased to have effect. Where the Board does make such a finding, the only way to reinstate a licence will be to apply for a new premises licence.

There is no statutory definition of “cease to have effect” or of “ceases to be used for the sale of alcohol”. It is therefore necessary for the Board to set out how it proposes to deal with this situation.

Because of this provision the Board must be made aware when premises are about to, or have, closed to the public. The Board recognises that there may be a wide variety of reasons why premises might close, and that closure does not necessarily mean that the premises have ceased to be used for the sale of alcohol. However, should it be the case that premises are to close for a period of more than 3 months, the Board will expect the licence holder to advise it in writing, within a further 14 days, of the closure, giving the reasons for doing so and the estimated length of closure. If the closure is temporary, the Board will also expect the licence holder to advise it when the premises have reopened.

The Board considers it reasonable to presume that where premises have been closed for a period of 6 months, without a reason having been given for the closure, the Board will instigate a review of the premises licence to ascertain that reason.

Where the premises are closed and the premises licence holder fails to pay the annual fee on time, this will automatically be deemed to be a situation where the premises have ceased trading, and the licence has ceased to have effect.

Premises with Restricted Sale of Alcohol

Some businesses only supply restricted types/volume of alcohol. For example, florists only supplying champagne or wine or stores only supplying alcohol in gift sets.

The Board may consider, if appropriate, after having considered the circumstances of each case imposing conditions to ensure these restrictions are adhered to.

Disabled facilities

While the Board appreciates these matters are covered by separate legislation and other regulatory regimes it would anticipate that appropriate disabled facilities should be provided on the premises to ensure compliance with the legislation covering disabled persons and disabled facilities.

Condition of premises

Licensees and their staff are expected to ensure that the premises, both internally and externally, are maintained in good, clean and tidy condition at all times.

Litter and waste management Licensees are expected to have a suitable litter and waste management programme in place to ensure that the area outside the premises are kept free of litter at all times including cigarette butts and waste including human waste.

Smoking

While the Board welcomes the legislation prohibiting smoking in enclosed public places it appreciates that other issues can arise in the area around the premises such as noise nuisance, litter, disorder, and smoke drift into neighbouring residences or back into the licensed premises. Licensees and their staff are expected to have sufficient measures in place to prevent such problems arising.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)

The use of CCTV on premises can be an important measure in complying with the licensing objectives, particularly in (a) preventing crime and disorder and (b) preventing public nuisance. Digital CCTV systems are readily available which may include both internal and external camera coverage of the premises. The Board supports the use of such systems and would encourage licensees to make use of these. Where used, such systems must be kept in proper working order at all times, all licensees and staff must be able to operate the system, and images should be kept for at least one month and made available to Police Scotland on request.

Team colours

The wearing and displaying of team colours, particularly football colours, by licensees, staff and patrons can be a factor leading to crime and disorder or public nuisance. Licensees are expected to demonstrate how they will deal with such issues.

Radiolink and Pubwatch

In those areas where it is available, Radiolink and Pubwatch can be of assistance to licensees and their staff in preventing crime and disorder and undue public nuisance. The Board supports the use of such schemes and would encourage licensees to join these in areas where this is available.

Dispersal of customers

Many occurrences of crime, disorder and public nuisance occur at or immediately after the terminal hour for the supply of alcohol. Licensees should ensure that they and their staff have sufficient measures in place to ensure customers exit the premises as quickly as possible, in good order and as quietly as possible.

Door supervision

The Licensing Board, taking into account the licensing objectives of preventing crime and disorder, securing public safety, and preventing public nuisance may consider door supervision appropriate. Whether or not door supervisors are to be required and, if so, the number of door supervisors, the occasions they must be present, the hours they must be present, and possible specification of particular duties and functions will be assessed according to the merits of each individual application. Where door stewards are in place they should wear high visibility clothing.

The Board expects premises to observe the good practice examples set out in paragraph 6.6 of the policy

Personal licences

Any individual may seek a personal licence whether or not they have current employment or business interests associated with the use of the licence subject to the provisions below.

The Board will grant a personal licence if it is satisfied that the applicant

is over 18 years of age

possesses a relevant licensing qualification

has not had a personal licence revoked in the previous five years, ending with the day on which the application was received (other than for non-production of a refresher training certificate)

has not been convicted of any relevant offence or foreign offence

The Board will give notice of any personal licence application to the Chief Constable who may give notice to the Board in one of the forms laid out in section 73 of the Act. Where a notice under section 73(3)(b) is received and said notice does not contain a recommendation under Section 73(4), the Board may hold a hearing at which it will consider carefully whether it is satisfied that the grant of a licence would not breach the objectives of the Act When the Chief Constable serves a notice under Section 73(3)(a) or

(b) and said notice contains a recommendation of refusal under Section 73(4) the Board must hold a hearing. In either case the Board will consider the seriousness and relevance of any conviction, the period that has elapsed since the offences were committed and any mitigating circumstances. If not so satisfied the Board will refuse the application.

The Board must also give notice of the personal licence application to the Licensing Standards Officer for the Division’s area who may respond by giving the Licensing Division any information in relation to the application.

Outside seating areas and smoking areas

When applicants propose to provide outside seating, tables or other facilities

in any outdoor area, whether covered or not, regard should be had to the need to ensure that the use of such areas will not cause disturbance or nuisance to the occupiers of other premises in the vicinity. These areas should be shown on the required plan of the premises and will be taken into account in the overall assessment, particularly in relation to exits and sanitary facilities. The Board may introduce additional conditions relating to the outdoor seating area or any area covered with a canopy where the premises do not currently include an outside area. The Board will expect licenceholders to apply to vary the licence.

Each individual application will be decided on its own merits.

A number of the issues which the Board will consider when considering an application involving outside seating and smoking areas are as follows:

whether the proposals will adversely affect the suitability of the premises for the sale of alcohol having regard to:

the location of the outdoor drinking area and, in particular, its relationship and proximity to adjoining property and whether any adjoining property is overlooked by or overlooks the proposed facility;

the condition of the proposed outdoor drinking area including proposals to ensure cigarette butts, cleared up on a regular basis;

the nature and extent of the proposed use of the outdoor drinking area including any proposed terminal hour;

the persons likely to resort to the outdoor drinking area;

whether the use of the outdoor drinking part of the premises is likely to cause undue public nuisance or constitute a threat to public order and safety; and the use of plastic/toughened glass in the outside seating/smoking area.

Applicants are advised to seek the consent of the Roads Authority prior to submitting any application where the proposed area forms part of the public footpath or road.

Members’ clubs

Members’ clubs are regulated by the Act in respect of the sale of alcohol. Accordingly, members’ clubs are holders of a premises licence, although they are exempted from the application of certain provisions of the Act.

The Board expects clubs to reflect certain operational requirements in their constitution and may impose conditions on a premises licence to that effect on the following matters (though not limited to)

that the business and affairs of the club shall be under the management of a committee or governing body who shall be elected for not less than one year by a general body of members

that the committee or governing body shall hold periodic elections and meetings

that correct accounts and books shall be kept showing the financial affairs and financial actings of the club

that no member of the committee or governing body and no manager or staff employed in the club shall have any personal interest in the sale of alcoholic liquor in the premises or in the profits arising from

that there shall be a definable subscription payable in advance by members of the club

that no persons shall be allowed to become honorary or temporary members of the club or be relieved of the payment of the regular entrance fee or subscription, except those possessing certain qualifications defined in the constitution and

that a maximum of three visitors per member shall be permitted in the club premises provided they are signed into the club by that member into a book kept for that purpose by the club. For the avoidance of doubt, the guest must only be entered once into the visitors book and not each time that they purchase an alcoholic drink.

Clubs must keep their constitutions updated and when revised, submit a copy of the revised constitution to the Clerk to the Licensing Board. Clubs must also ensure their constitution, accounts and entry book are available for inspection by the Licensing Standards Officer and the Police at all reasonable times.

In considering an application for a premises licence on behalf of a club, the Board will wish to make enquiry into the nature and activities of the club. Clubs will be required to submit a copy of their current Constitution along with the application for a premises licence so that the Board may check compliance with Paragraph 2(2) of the Licensing (Clubs)(Scotland) Regulations 2007.

The fact that a premises licence is in effect in respect of premises used wholly or mainly as a Club does not prevent an occasional licence being issued in respect of those premises. The Board may issue in respect of those premises in any period of 12 months:

not more than four occasional licences each having effect for a period of four days or more, and

not more than 12 occasional licences each having effect for a period of less than four days, provided that, in any period of 12 months, the total number of days on which occasional licences issued in respect of the premises have effect does not exceed 56.

The Board expects members’ clubs to adhere strictly to their constitutions and in particular to note that, except when an occasional licence has effect, no person can be supplied with alcohol on the club premises unless he/she is:

a club member;

a guest of a member and accompanied by a member; or

a member of another club conducted on a non-profit making basis and having a constitution meeting the requirements of the Act.

Breaches of these provisions may result in a review of a club’s premises licence.

Excluded premises – garages

Some premises are excluded from authorising the sale of alcohol including premises or parts of a premise used as a garage. Such premises are used as a garage if there is (a) sale by retail of petrol or diesel, (b) the sale of motor vehicles, or (c) the maintenance of motor vehicles.

However, where those premises or parts of premises are used for sale by retail of petrol or derv, alcohol may be authorised to be sold in some circumstances. Alcohol may be sold where the Licensing Board determines that in relation to such premises persons resident in the locality are, or are likely to become, reliant to a significant extent on the premises as the principal source of (a) petrol or diesel, or (b) groceries.

In determining an application for such a premise, the Licensing Board expects the applicant to provide sufficient information to enable the Board to consider

the locality in which the premises are situated

what other sources of (a) petrol or diesel and/or (b) groceries are in that locality and

the extent to which persons resident in that locality are, or are likely to become reliant on the premises as the principal source of (a) petrol or diesel, or (b) groceries

When considering the position in respect of garages and other excluded premises the Licensing Board will have regard to the legislation as interpreted by the Case Law at that time.Section B – Licensing objectives

Overview

The following sub-sections set out the Board’s policy relating specifically to the five licensing objectives

preventing crime and disorder

securing public safety

preventing public nuisance

protecting and improving public health

protecting children and young persons from harm.

In each section relating to the objectives, the Board has defined its intended outcome. Each section lists the influencing factors on the achievement of that objective but, because of the wide variety of premises and activities to which this policy applies, the lists provided are not exhaustive. Applicants will know their premises best and will be expected to address all aspects relevant to the individual style and characteristics of their premises and the licensable activities for which they are seeking a licence.

The Board may impose additional local conditions if necessary or expedient to promote the licensing objectives.

The Board considers that the applicant should provide, if required, details of the arrangements for effective and responsible management of the premises and for instruction, training and supervision of staff. This is considered to be an essential measure for the achievement of all the licensing objectives.

Throughout this document the Board has made reference to Best Practice in order to ensure the Licensing Objectives are complied with. The Board expects that whenever possible applicants and licenceholders should adopt best practice in order to promote the Licensing Objectives.

Licensing objective – preventing crime and disorder

South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) is committed to improving the quality of life for the people in its area by adopting policies and introducing measures designed to increase community safety and reduce crime, the fear of crime and disorder.

There are already in existence a wide range of measures for preventing and reducing crime and disorder. The Act reinforces the duty of the Board to make this a top priority.

The promotion of the licensing objective to prevent crime and disorder places a responsibility on licence holders to become key partners in achieving this objective. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate that suitable and sufficient measures have been identified and will be implemented and maintained to reduce or prevent crime and disorder on and in the vicinity of their premises, relevant to the individual style and characteristics of their premises and the activities at those premises.

The applicant should be able to demonstrate, if necessary, that all those factors which impact on crime and disorder have been considered. These include

underage drinking

drunkenness on premises

public drunkenness

illegal possession and/or use of drugs violent behaviour

anti-social behaviour

litter

unauthorised advertising

Applicants and licensees may wish to consider the following as matters relevant to the prevention of crime and disorder:

effective and responsible management of premises including outdoor drinking areas;

training and supervision of staff;

requiring production of accredited proof of age cards and photographic driving licences or passports;

provision of effective CCTV equipment;

provision of external lighting and security measures;

employment of security industry authorised licensed door supervisors;

responsible advertising and promotions; and

introduction of a refusals book.

Licensing objective – securing public safety

The Board is committed to ensuring that the safety of any person visiting or working in licensed premises is not compromised. Therefore, applicants may be required to demonstrate that suitable and sufficient measures have been identified and will be implemented and maintained to ensure public safety, relevant to the individual style and characteristics of their premises and the licensable activities for which the licence is being sought.

When addressing the issue of public safety, an applicant must demonstrate that those factors which impact on standards of public safety have been considered. These include

the occupant capacity of the premises

the standard of maintenance of the building having regard to its age and the design and layout of the premises, including the means of escape in the event of fire

the structural stability of the premises

the adequacy of vehicular access to the premises by the fire and rescue service

the safety of gas and electrical installations

the nature of the activities to be provided, in particular the sale or supply of alcohol and the provision of music and dancing, including whether those activities are of a temporary or permanent nature

the hours of operation differentiating the hours of opening from the hours when licensable activities are provided, if appropriate

the use of special effects such as lasers, pyrotechnics, smoke machines and foam machines

Suggested additional measures could include:

carrying out risk assessments;

installation of CCTV equipment;

employment of adequate numbers of suitably trained staff and, if appropriate, door security staff; proof of regular testing and certification where appropriate of procedures, appliances and safety systems; and

implementation of customer management measures.

Licensing objective – preventing public nuisance

The Board wishes to maintain and protect the amenity of residents and occupiers of other businesses from any adverse consequence of the operation of licensed premises, whilst also recognising the valuable cultural, social and business importance that such premises provide.

The Board will interpret public nuisance in its widest sense and will take it to include such issues as noise, light, odour, litter and anti-social behaviour, where these matters impact on those living, working or otherwise engaged in normal activity in an area.

Applicants need to be aware that the Board may apply stricter conditions, including controls on licensed hours, where premises are in residential areas or where their activities may impact on residents or other business premises and where relevant representations have been received.

The Board believes that the impact licensed premises can have on a neighbourhood is significantly influenced by the times when those licensed premises are open. The Board may stipulate shorter hours when considering a premises licence application, if it considers this to be appropriate, for instance where the premises are, or may be, a source of anti- social behaviour. The Board will consider each case on its merits but may be inclined to stipulate an earlier terminal hour for the sale of alcohol in appropriate circumstances.

Applicants may be required to satisfy the Board that suitable and sufficient measures have been identified and will be implemented and maintained to prevent public nuisance, relevant to the individual style and characteristics of their premises and events.

When addressing the issue of prevention of public nuisance, the following factors may be relevant (although it should be appreciated that this is not an exhaustive list but merely gives examples of relevant considerations)

the location of premises and proximity to residential and other noise sensitive premises, such as hospitals, hospices, care homes and places of worship

the opening hours, particularly after 2300 hours

the nature of activities to be provided, including whether those activities are of a temporary or permanent nature and whether they are to be held inside or outside premises

the design and layout of premises and in particular the presence of noise limiting features a sound proofing, air conditioning, keeping doors and windows closed

the availability of public transport

the last admission time

effective and responsible management of premises;

appropriate instruction, training and supervision of those employed or engaged to prevent instances of public nuisance, for example, to ensure that customers leave quietly;

control of operating hours for all or parts of the premises, for example, in outdoor drinking areas;

siting of external lighting, including security lighting and installation of an effective CCTV system which complies with current legislative requirements;

management arrangements for collection and disposal of waste and empty bottles; effective use and maintenance of plant, including air extraction and ventilation systems to prevent nuisance from odours; and

Dispersal Policy – plenty of notice to patrons about last orders; winding down activities or entertainment; and planning how patrons will leave the premises quickly and quietly.

The Board will expect licence holders to ensure door stewards are vigilant and ensure entry is denied to those who are drunk or disorderly on arrival and ensure adequate supervision of the premises at all times.

The Board may impose local conditions regarding any of the above matters or in respect of any other matter where the Board considers conditions are necessary or expedient for the purposes of any of the licensing objectives during consideration of individual applications.

Licensing objective – protecting and improving public health

The Board will have regard to the views of the relevant bodies responsible for and interested in the protection and improvement of public health within its area. It will take advice from those relevant bodies who will be represented on the South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) Licensing Forum set up under the legislation.

Applicants will be expected to demonstrate that suitable and sufficient measures have been identified and will be implemented and maintained to protect customers’ health. This will include such measures as making available information with regard to sensible drinking, the effects of excessive alcohol consumption and contact points where assistance is required with problem drinking.

A major concern about excessive alcohol consumption is its impact on people’s health. There is ignorance of the advisable daily and weekly units of alcohol which may be consumed which are 14 units per week for both men and women (excluding pregnant women). There is also ignorance of the number of units in commonly consumed drinks, although some manufacturers are taking an initiative in this regard and publishing information on the labels of their products. The Board considers that greater awareness of this issue would be achieved by more overt displaying of information. It wishes to impress upon licence holders the importance of the issue and will expect prominent informative signage to be displayed in appropriate places within their premises. If necessary, and as a result of a relevant representation, such a requirement may be imposed by way of a condition on a premises licence.

The Board is very aware of the risk of harm to children and young persons’ health, and this will be of paramount consideration when determining applications. Children and/or young persons may be adequately protected from harm by the action taken to protect adults, but they also may need special consideration. It is recognised that no policy can anticipate every situation, but applicants will be expected to demonstrate that they have given particular care to introduce measures designed to protect children’s and/or young persons’ health while in or around their premises.

Licence applicants, door supervisors (where employed) and premises managers, as well as other staff employed in the premises, must remain vigilant at all times to the risks of excessive consumption, there should be established practice within the premises to ensure that a standard approach is taken where customers’ demeanor demonstrates an excessive consumption of alcohol. There should also be a clear understanding of the offences committed in connection with the service of alcohol to children or drunk persons.

In terms of schedule 3 of the Act applicants must provide tap water fit for drinking free of charge on request and other non-alcoholic drinks must be available at a reasonable price. Applicants are encouraged to provide food on the premises, so that patrons may eat at the same time as consuming alcoholic beverages if they wish.

Adequate ventilation and sanitary provision must be provided by the applicant to the satisfaction of the Board. However, in the absence of any representations or objections the Board will assume that the facilities provided are adequate.

Licensing objective – protecting children and young persons from harm

The Board will have particular regard for the views of the South Lanarkshire Council Child Protection Committee from whom it will take advice.

The Board wishes to see family friendly premises thriving within its area. When considering an application from those who wish to operate a licensed premises accommodating children and young persons the risk of harm to children and young persons will be paramount to its consideration.

Where applicants wish to operate such premises, the Board expects them to appreciate that this places additional responsibilities upon them while at the same time recognising that parents and other adults accompanying children and young persons also have responsibilities.

Applicants will be expected to demonstrate that suitable and sufficient measures have been identified and will be implemented and maintained to protect children and young persons from harm, relevant to the individual style and characteristics of their premises and the licensable activities for which a licence is being sought.

Children and young persons may be adequately protected from harm by the action taken to protect adults, but they may also need particular measures to be taken; no policy can anticipate every solution. When addressing the issue of protecting children and young persons from harm, the applicant must demonstrate that those factors which may particularly impact on harm to children and young persons have been considered.

These include whether

entertainment or services of an adult or sexual nature are commonly or regularly provided

there have been convictions of members of the current staff at the premises for serving alcohol to children and young persons

the premises have a reputation for underage drinking

there has been a known association with drug taking or dealing

the supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises is the exclusive or primary purpose of the services provided there

appropriate measures to ensure children and young persons do not purchase or consume alcohol on the premises (unless such consumption is permitted by a young person in terms of the restricted provisions of section 105(5) of the Act)

acceptance of accredited proof of age card, photographic driving licences or passports

effective and responsible premises management

limitations on the hours when children and young persons may be present throughout or in part of the premises and

Internal test purchases.

The Board requires applicants who submit operating plans including the admission of children to ensure that they are not given access to premises when activities such as adult entertainment are taking place South Lanarkshire Licensing Division Number 3 (Hamilton Area) requires the following to be applied when children and young persons are to be admitted to the premises: -

Children under 14 years of age should not be present in the part of the premises to which children are permitted unless they are accompanied by an adult, which for clarification is a person more than 18 years of age and only for the purpose of the consumption of a meal sold or supplied on the premises.

Non glass drinking containers and plastic plates must be available for children on request.

All open fires in the public areas of the licensed premises must be adequately guarded.

A children’s menu must be available at all times or alternatively the main menu must show that half portions are available for children.

An adequately sized lidded bin for the disposal of soiled nappies must be provided in the facilities for baby changing which require to be in an area which is accessible to persons of either gender on the premises where it has been indicated on the operating plan that children under five are to be admitted to the premises.

All electrical sockets in the public areas of the licensed premises must have safety appliances fitted.

At least one highchair must be available for use by young children.

The Board also takes very seriously the issue of underage drinking and wishes to remind licensees that they should ensure that their staff along with themselves comply with all other legislation in relation to children and young persons including not selling or allowing the sale of alcohol to children and young persons.
