RESOLVED: That the Committee

 

(1) Endorsed and
commented on the Sex Establishment Licensing Policy, attached as
Appendix A.
 

(2) Delegated authority
to the Licensing and Community Safety Manager, in consultation with
the Chair of the Licensing and Regulation Committee, to make
amendments to the Policy, as outlined at the meeting.

 

REASONS FOR DECISIONS:

 

(1) The current policy
worked well when the district did have a licensed sex shop, however
some minor amendments are needed to ensure it remains fit for
purpose, particularly in areas of safeguarding and the
Council’s White Ribbon commitment.
 

(2) The adoption of a
policy ensures that applicants, licence holders, and the public
have a clear understanding of the licensing process and objectives;
it also ensures a consistent and transparent approach.
