We have established licensing policies for some of the licensing regimes it is responsible for.
Some of these policies have been made as a statutory requirement of the relevant legislation governing that particular licensing regime. From time to time, we review the policies below. In some circumstances, we consult the public and other stakeholders on any revisions.
The policies are in place to guide us when we go through licence applications. These policies can also help applicants when considering applying for a licence.
