There are a number of ‘regulatory’ type committees. The mains ones are:
Planning and Development Control Committee
The Planning and Development Control Committee meets about every 2-3 weeks in public and its main role is to determine planning applications that need a decision by Councillors.
Licensing Committee
The Licensing Committee meets infrequently and its main role is to recommend licensing policies, although it can hear licensing applications if necessary.
Licensing Enforcement Sub-Committee
The Licensing Enforcement Sub-Committee deals with hearings for licences, largely taxis, private hire, street trading or collection, door-to-door collection, Amusement With Prizes machines and firework storage licences. Some parts of the meetings may be in private because of the nature of the business.
Hearings under the Licensing Act 2003
Hearings under the Licensing Act 2003 deal with applications for personal and premises licences for the sale of alcohol, late night refreshments, entertainment etc.
