An Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to advise you of the work and responsibilities of the Licensing Committee of the Council. We understand that an appearance before a committee of councillors may be a strange or new experience for some and we hope that this guide tells you what to expect.

This guide is mainly designed for:

• Licence holders or applicants appearing before the Committee
• Legal Practitioners
• Objectors
• Other Interested Parties

Our aim is to ensure that the Committee exercises its responsibilities fairly, impartially and after hearing all the relevant evidence in any one matter.
