About

The Licensing Sub Committee, composed of three members of the main Licensing Committee, is responsible for deciding on applications to grant, change, or review licenses under the Licensing Act 2003 when objections have been raised. These decisions directly affect applicants and those who have made valid representations. The committee's meetings are open to the public, and while it primarily handles scheduled business, additional meetings may be convened for urgent matters. Only interested parties and applicants may address the sub-committee, though others may be permitted to present evidence.
