Watch Licensing Sub-Committee
Hearings live on the Council's YouTube Channel: Hillingdon London *
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 Licensing Committee. The meetings
of the Sub-Committee will be chaired by either the Chairman or the
Vice-Chairman of the Licensing
Committee.
*Broadcasting of Sub-Committee
Hearings
Please note that the Council
may live video broadcast hearings when considering them at the
Civic Centre in Uxbridge. This is to increase resident engagement
in local democracy.
As determined
by Democratic Services, only those hearings to be held in public
will be filmed. Sometimes certain licensing applications are
considered in private due to the nature of the information to be
discussed and these are therefore not filmed.
Whilst cameras will be aimed
at the Councillors making the decisions, they will also film,
record and make public any statements by people speaking who have
submitted any relevant representations, e.g. objectors, along with
interested parties, responsible authorities, the applicant and/or
their representative. Generally, the cameras will not capture
people attending to solely observe proceedings in the public
gallery.
Anyone is
welcome to watch a Licensing Sub-Committee meeting live, or after
the event, on the Council's YouTube channel: Hillingdon
London.
