Committee details

Sub-Committees of the Licensing Committee (referred to as Licensing Panels) are arranged on an ad hoc basis to consider licensing applications where representations have been received.

These usually take place during the working day, anywhere from 10am to 5pm. The Licensing Panel will comprise three Members and a named substitute drawn from the membership of the Licensing Committee.

Members are not entitled to determine a licensing application from within their own Ward.

Members of the public can only speak at a Licensing Panel if they have written to the Council during the consultation period for the licence.
