Consultation on the Statement of Licensing Policy

The current interim Statement of Licensing Policy was introduced in 2022 and a full review of the Policy has now been undertaken.

The Policy enables the Council to carry out functions under the 2003 Act and plays an important role in managing alcohol in terms of regulation and public health concerns.  In setting out how licensed premises should operate, the Policy contributes to achieving Camden 2025 priorities relating to reduced levels of crime and ensuring there is a vibrant cultural and leisure offer for residents, businesses and visitors that is safe and attractive.

The Policy needs to be up to date and relevant to the individual characteristics of the borough.  The Council have now developed a revised draft Statement of Licensing Policy following engagement with key stakeholders.  

The Council is now consulting on the proposed changes to the Policy and would like to hear your views.
