Health as a Licensing Objective pdf icon PDF 604 KB

To consider the joint report of the Chief Officer Elections and Regulatory and the Director of Public Health considering Health as a fifth Licensing Objective under the Licensing Act 2003. The report highlights that local health bodies have been a responsible authority under the Licensing Act since 2012, with health evidence limited to the existing ‘protection of children from harm’ licensing objective. The report also considers how the introduction of a fifth health licensing objective would provide Public Health with a stronger voice when objecting to licence applications and would allow health data to be used to directly address health harms in the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy.
