Statement of licensing policy
The Licensing Act 2003 requires licensing authorities to prepare
and publish a statement of its licensing policy every three
years.
We have published a revised Statement of
Licensing Policy (PDF 1.50MB) in January 2011 to reflect
changing circumstances and any relevant concerns and comments
received during the consultation in 2010.
The policy which remains in effect from January 2011 to January
2014 sets out the manner in which licensing applications for the
sale and supply of alcohol, the provision of regulated
entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment are
considered.
The policy will be kept under review and the licensing authority
will make such revisions as it considers appropriate.
Cumulative impact policy
The Redbridge Council adopted a cumulative impact policy for the
Ilford Town Centre on 16 February 2010 which has worked well to
control the night time economy there.
This is described in our statement of
licensing policy (pdf 1.50mb).
The effect of adopting a policy of this kind is to create a
rebuttable presumption that applications for new licences or club
premises certificates or variations that are likely to add to the
cumulative impact will normally be refused, following relevant
representations, unless the applicant can demonstrate that there
will be no negative impact on one or more of the licensing
objectives. This applies to all types of licensed
premises.
