Licensing Enforcement and Inspection Policy 2024-2028 consultation

Tendring District Council Licensing and Registration Committee approved the draft revised Licensing Enforcement and Inspection Policy for consultation on 24 July 2024.

A purpose of licensing is the protection of the public. In order to achieve this, legislation requires licences, permits or registrations to be obtained. These are normally subject to certain conditions.

The effectiveness of legislation and licence conditions in protecting the public depends crucially on persons complying with such legislation and conditions.

The purpose of this policy is to set out what licensees and others can expect from principles and policies which deal with any enforcement and inspection undertaken by the Licensing Section.

In order to achieve compliance, the Licensing Committee and its Officers will assist licensees to meet their legal obligations without unnecessary expense, while taking firm action, including prosecution where appropriate, against those who break the law or act irresponsibly.

This policy document is provided for the guidance of the guidance of Members, officers, consumers and members of the public.

Following the formal consultation process, an analysis of the responses received will be undertaken and the results collated for the Licensing and Registration Committee to consider. A revised policy document, with relevant tracked change and will be made available to the Committee.
