Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report which provided details of an amendment to The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 in relation to the suspension of licences due to the non payment of fees.
The Senior Licensing Practitioner responded to Members’ questions with regard to annual fees and the Council’s procedure for collecting renewal fees.
RESOLVED:
a) that at the Committee’s request the Head of Worcestershire Regulatory Services writes to the Home Office to express the Committee’s view that in the event of non payment of Premises and Club Premises Licence fees, Local Authorities should be able to set fees locally and on a cost recovery basis to take into account any enforcement action that has had to be taken to recover fees that are paid late; and
b) that authority be delegated to the Head of Worcestershire Regulatory Services to suspend Premises and Club Premises Licences following non payment of fees under sections 55A and 92A of the Licensing Act 2003 (as amended).
