Licensing Act 2003
The Licensing Act 2003 came into force on the 24th November
2005. Local Authorities are now responsible for licensing alcohol
and other activities within the Council area.
The change in law affects everyone. The most noticeable is the
end of 'permitted hours'. Instead of a fixed closing time, bars and
clubs and other premises are allowed to open during the hours they
choose, subject to representations from others. Rules about the
selling of alcohol to under 18's have been tightened up and
simplified, and the rules about children's access to licensed
premises have also changed.
A licence is required for the following
activities:
- To sell alcohol by retail
- If you are a qualifying club, to supply alcohol to a club
member, or to sell alcohol to a guest of a club member
- To provide Regulated Entertainment
- To sell late night refreshment - hot food and drink between
11pm and 5am for consumption on and off the premises, unless you
are a hotel, staff canteen or campsite
