Comments invited

This questionnaire should only take a few minutes to complete. Your answers will be used to understand the potential impact of the changes proposed and will be presented to the Licensing Committee to assist them in their decision making.

The current policy was adopted in January 2011 and is now being reviewed. The new policy proposals can be found here:

http://www.northampton.gov.uk/2015LicensingPolicy

The Policy describes how the Licensing Authority will carry out its functions under the Act in order to promote the four licensing objectives which are:
  • The Prevention of Crime and Disorder
  • Public Safety
  • Public Nuisance
  • Protection of children from harm
Changes from the last policy include:
  • The Licensing and Health Authorities are now responsible authorities.
  • Ability to suspend licenses for non-payment of annual fees
  • Environmental Health can now object to Temporary Event notices
  • Introduction of new initiatives including Late Night Levy and Early Morning Restriction Orders (not adopted by this authority)
  • Deregulation of some regulated entertainment and Late Night Refreshment
