Summary

Here is a summary of the items scheduled for discussion at the Licensing Sub-Committee meeting on Thursday 02 October 2025. The meeting will include the election of a chair, introductions, and a discussion on an application for a personal licence. Due to the confidential nature of the personal licence application, the press and public may be excluded from that portion of the meeting.

Determination of an Application for a Personal Licence

The Licensing Sub-Committee is scheduled to consider an application for a personal licence. According to the agenda, this item will be discussed in Part II of the meeting, which means it may not be open to the press and public.

The Public Reports Pack notes that:

Please note, in accordance with Section 100B(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, copies of this report are excluded from inspection by members of the public as the report contains information as described in Schedule 12A of the Act, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) Order 2006, as follows:-

- Paragraph 1 - Information relating to any individual.

- Paragraph 2 - Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual

This suggests that the discussion will involve details about an individual that the council is obligated to keep private. Section 100B(2) of the Local Government Act 1972 relates to the supply of agenda and connected reports, and allows councils to exclude the public from meetings in certain circumstances. Schedule 12A of the Act outlines the categories of information that can justify excluding the press and public. The Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) Order 2006 amends Schedule 12A.

Other items

The meeting will begin with the election of a chair. Councillors Rupert Audland, Helen Irving and Helen Ladhams are the members of the Licensing Sub-Committee.

The agenda also includes items for:

  • Apologies for absence and any changes to the membership of the committee.
  • Declarations of interest from members regarding items on the agenda.
  • Consideration of whether to exclude the press and public from any items on the agenda.
