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(2011-2014)
(operative from the 7 January 2011) or visit our office
in Warne Road to see a paper copy.
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
fees and charges page for information about how much these
cost.
