Minutes: Consideration was given to the report which
recommended amendments to Gambling fees and advised Members of the fee
structure established by the Government under the Licensing Act 2003. The report also sought to amend the Committee
Hearing Procedures in relation to speaker order. Members were referred to Appendix 1, Appendix 2 and
Appendix 3 of the report which detailed the proposed Premises Licence Fees for
2019/20, Permits and Associated Charges for 2019/20 and Main Fees (set
centrally by Government) respectively. Members were askedto
implement fees with immediate effect. In relation to Hearing Procedures the proposed change
would enable Members to hear from the applicant prior to hearing the comments
from Responsible Authorities and Interest Parties. Clarification was sought regarding the summing up process
for the various parties and whether it would be possible under the amended
procedure to go back to the applicant at a later stage. Officers confirmed that ‘summing up’ would
continue and advised that further questions could always be asked at the
discretion of the Chair. Members
welcomed the change in procedures and agreed that it would enhance the hearing
process. Having fully
considered the Officer’s report, it was moved and seconded that the recommendations
contained therein be approved. By a show
of hands this was unanimously agreed. RESOLVED that: - (i) the level of fees proposed under the
Gambling Act 2005 for 2019/20 as outlined in Appendix 1 and the Temporary Use
Notices as detailed in Appendix 2 be approved; (ii) the
level of charges in connection with the Licensing Act 2003 as set out in
Appendix 3 and for the majority of Gambling Permits and associated charges as outlined in Appendix 2 be noted; (iii) the
amendment to the Sub Committee Hearings procedure relevant to Licensing and
Gambling Sub Committee as set out in Appendix 4 be approved. |
