The Licensing and Regulatory Sub-Committee of West Suffolk Council was scheduled to convene on Thursday 30 April 2026. The meeting's agenda included procedural matters and a review of a combined driver licence.

Procedural Matters

The committee was scheduled to address several procedural items at the outset of the meeting. These included the election of a Chair for the Sub-Committee, the acceptance of apologies for absence, and the identification of any substitutes attending. Members were also reminded of their responsibility to declare any pecuniary or local non-pecuniary interests in items on the agenda. The committee was to consider whether to exclude the press and public from discussions on certain items, citing the potential disclosure of exempt information under the Local Government Act 1972.

Review of a Combined Driver Licence

A significant item on the agenda was the review of a combined driver licence. This item was designated as exempt from public access due to the likely disclosure of sensitive information, as outlined in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. The report associated with this item is designated as Report No: LSC/WS/26/003. The attached Hearing Procedure document outlines the steps the committee would follow for such a review, including pre-hearing matters, the presentation of cases by involved parties, and the eventual determination of the licence review. The procedure details how applicants, licensing authority officers, responsible authorities, and interested parties would present their cases and be subject to questioning. The committee would then deliberate and announce its decision, or notify parties of a decision to be made within five working days.
