Portsmouth City Council City Crest

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.
