We are responsible for licensing the supply and sale of
alcohol, public entertainment and late night refreshment in North
Somerset.
As required by
the Licensing
Act 2003 we have adopted a licensing policy which sets out how
we intend to administer and enforce the legislation. You can view
our
Statement of Licensing Policy or visit our
office
in Warne Road to see a paper copy.
We are currently consulting on the
Draft Statement of Licensing Policy for
2011-14. If you have any comments regarding the draft policy,
please could you forward them in writing or by email to the
Licensing Team by no later than the 8 October 2010.
Legislation requires us to ensure the following licensing
objectives are met:
- public safety
- the prevention of crime and disorder
- the prevention of public nuisance
- the protection of children from harm.
The pages in this section detail the different types of licences
and event notification procedures. You can visit our
