The Council's Licensing
Sub-Committee consider applications and licensing in relation to
functions under the Licensing Act 2003,
Gambling Act 2005, Sex Establishment Venue Licences under the Local
Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, Street Trading
determination functions under the London Local Authorities Act 1990
and the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, which are statutory in
nature.
In practice, this means that
where there are objections or relevant representations to such
licensing matters, a Sub-Committee of Elected Councillors will
determine the matter, rather than a Council Officer.
The Sub-Committee will comprise
three Members (2 Conservative and 1 Labour) selected on a rota
basis from the membership of the parent Licensing Committee. The
meetings of the Sub-Committee will be chaired by either the
Chairman or the Vice-Chairman of the Licensing
Committee.
