4. COMMENTARY ON THE LICENSING POLICY
4.1 The following extracts from Brighton & Hove City Council Statement of Licensing Policy are considered relevant to this application and are numbered as they appear in the policy:
1.1 This Statement of Licensing Policy has been prepared in accordance with the
provisions of the Licensing Act 2003 (the Act) and having regard to Guidance
issued by the Home Office under Section 182 of the act. This policy takes effect
from the 4th February 2021. The licensing authority is Brighton & Hove City Council.
The purpose of this statement is to promote the licensing objectives and set out a
general approach to making licensing decisions. The discretion of the licensing
authority in relation to applications under the act is only engaged if ‘relevant
representations’ are made by other persons or responsible authorities. This policy
will inform the approach to be taken when deciding applications and imposing
conditions when relevant representations are received. It is also intended as a
guide for applicants as to what to include in their operating schedules, always
recognising that if no representations are received, the application must be granted.
The licensing authority must carry out its functions with a view to promoting the
licensing objectives and this policy is framed around those objectives. Each
application will be given individual consideration on its merit. The scope of this
policy covers the following:
• Retail sales of alcohol.
• The supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club, or to the order of, a member of
the club.
• The provision of regulated entertainment.
• The provision of late night refreshment.
1.2 The licensing objectives are:
(a) the prevention of crime and disorder.
(b) public safety.
(c) the prevention of public nuisance; and
(d) the protection of children from harm.
1.3 Scope
1.3.1 Licensing is about regulating licensable activities on licensed premises, by
qualifying clubs and at temporary events. Any conditions attached to various
authorisations will be focused on matters which are within the control of individual
licensees and others with relevant authorisations, i.e. the premises and its vicinity.
Each application will be given individual consideration on its merit. Nothing in this
policy shall undermine the right of any individual to apply under the terms of the act
for a variety of permissions and to have any such application considered on its
individual merits. Similarly, nothing in this policy shall override the right of any
person to make representations on an application or seek a review of a licence or
certificate where provision has been made for them to do so in the act.
3.3 The Matrix Approach
The Licensing Authority will support:
3.3.1 Diversity of premises: ensures that there is a mix of the different types of licensed
premises and attracts a more diverse range of customers from different age groups,
different communities and with different attitudes to alcohol consumption. It gives
potential for positively changing the ambience of the city or an area of it. This will
have a positive effect in reducing people’s fear of crime and in increasing the
number of evening visitors to the city centre. The Community Safety Strategy
recognises that too many single uses in a confined area and patrons turning out
onto the streets at the same time may create opportunities for violent crime and
public disorder and therefore supports mixed use venues encouraging a wider age
balance.
3.3.2 A “matrix” approach to licensing decisions has been adopted and is set out below. It provides a framework of what the licensing authority would like to see within its area
and gives an indication of the likelihood of success or otherwise to investor and
businesses making applications.

Notes on matrix
Subject to the following notes, the policy, as represented in the matrix, will be
strictly adhered to:
1) Each application will be considered on individual merit
2) Applications within the CIZ are subject to the special policy on cumulative impact at
para 3.1, and those within the special stress area to the special stress policy
considerations at para 3.2.
3) Departure from the matrix policy is expected only in exceptional circumstances
4) Exceptional circumstances will not include quality of management or size of venue
except where explicitly stated in policy matrix.
5) Exceptional circumstances may include: consultation with and meeting
requirements of responsible authorities, an appropriate corporate social
responsibility policy, community contribution to offset impact (such as financial
contribution to infrastructure), community support, alcohol sale ancillary to business
activity (demonstrable to responsible authorities and licensing authority, for instance
by licence condition allowing authorised officers access to sales accounts).
6) The following licensing activities are encouraged and valued by the licensing
authority: outdoor regulated entertainment, community based street parties,
members clubs, traditional pubs outside the city centre and non-alcohol led
licensable activities, particularly within city centre.
7) Other Areas; consideration will be given to the nature of the area and location in
relation to any application. In a residential area for example the concerns of local
residents will be relevant when considering applications for off-licences, pubs or
cafes, especially if there is evidence of anti-social behaviour, street drinking or
underage drinking. Earlier closing times may be appropriate. Regard will be had to
the Public Health Framework for assessing alcohol licensing on our website
www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/licensingact.
8) In an area where there are already several existing off-licences or where the
premises is situated within a parade with another off licence and where
representations are received about negative cumulative impact on the licensing
objectives of a further premises, the application may be refused on these grounds
or restrictions placed on the terminal hour to reflect opening hours of other shops.
9) Outdoor events will be supported where arranged through the council’s event
planning process. Generally, regulated entertainment in the open air including tents
and marquees should have a maximum closure hour of 2300. Earlier hours may be
imposed in sensitive open spaces or near residential areas. The licensing authority
will have regard to Noise Council guidance.
10) Non-alcohol led category does not include “alcohol in shared workplaces”. It is
recommended that sale of alcohol in shared workspaces should have a terminal
hour of no later than10pm. For further advice and guidance on “alcohol in shared
workplaces” please see paragraph 3.3.4-3.3.6.
3.6.1 The Licensing Authority will have regard to areas highlighted by Sussex Police that are at risk from alcohol related anti-social behaviour. The nature of these areas can
be fluid/seasonal and so updated maps and data will be produced regularly to
ensure the information is current. These hot spot areas are considered high risk for
street drinkers and the Licensing Authority will have regard to prevention of crime
and disorder by virtue of street drinking and anti-social behaviour when considering
applications in this area.
3.9 Promoters and irresponsible drinks promotions
3.9.1 The Licensing Act 2003 makes no mention or provision for the use of promoters
within licensed premises. Many of the late night bars and clubs within the Brighton
& Hove Cumulative Impact Zone regularly hire promoters to sell nights at their
venues. In recent years with the introduction of promoters within the Brighton night
time economy, several issues have arisen. This includes promoters vouching for
underage customers to get them inside licensed premises where they can access
alcohol, providing flyers to passers-by who throw them on the floor and
irresponsible promotions for their nights. Many premises now have an agreement
with their promoter for acceptable promotions and behaviour which includes the
signing of a written contract of expectations. This shows premises evidencing their
due diligence and ensures that promotion companies know what is expected of
them. The contract could include, obligations to pick up self-generated litter,
verification of ages of their customers and users of their social media, promoters
being over the age of 18 and responsible advertising on social media.
3.9.2 The Licensing Authority expect licensed premises to develop staff policy and
training on recognising signs of drunkenness and vulnerability, for example, offering
drinking water and tips for refusing customers who appear drunk. And discourage
company polices that promote bonuses and sales incentives for selling alcohol.
Licensing Authority will expect necessary precautionary processes to restrict
drunkenness, e.g. Licensing Guidance states happy hours should not be designed
to encourage individuals to drink excessively or rapidly.
4.3 Care, control and supervision of premises
4.3.1 The Licensing authority supports the Business Crime Reduction Partnership and
other approved schemes. Where appropriate, premises licence holders should be
members of the BCRP for the deterrence to violent crime that such membership
provides. The BCRP NightSafe radio scheme is normally expected as an
operational requirement for city centre bars, clubs and pubs and is an example of
good practice in achieving the aim of reducing crime and disorder and improving
public safety. Well managed pub-watch schemes provide information exchange
between the premises licence holders and responsible authorities that reduce and
deter violent crime and disorder. The council will support a responsible licensing
scheme.
4.3.2 The effective management and supervision of a venue is a key factor in reducing
crime and disorder, both within it and outside. The police will consider the
applicants, objecting to the application where appropriate. The police may suggest
crime prevention measures in relation to, for example, the internal layout of the
premises, closed-circuit television, help points, lighting and security staff. The
police may ask for conditions which support such measures to be imposed when
licensing applications are granted, eg type of licence, capacity, operating hours
restrictions.
4.3.3 Following the grant of a licence, the management and supervision of the premises, in so far as it might impact on crime and disorder, will continue to be monitored. Particular attention will be paid to any licensed premises where there is evidence of criminal activity or any association with racist or homophobic crime. The licensing authority will keep itself well briefed on the nature, location and type of premises where alcohol related violence and disorder are occurring so it can take full account of the facts and avoid exacerbating problems as required by the Community Safety Strategy. Where licensed premises are found to cause nuisance or be associated with disorder or unreasonable disturbance, the review process may be invoked, and powers of revocation or the imposition of conditions may be considered. Conditions may include use of closed-circuit television, licensed door supervisors and earlier closing times. Such action to restrict the operation may be taken for trial periods to allow businesses an opportunity to remedy existing disorder, nuisance or
disturbance.
4.3.4 This policy recognises the use of registered Door Supervisors All Door Supervisors will be licensed by the Security Industry Authority. Mobile security units and similar systems are in use by some premises operators as a means of providing security cover at very short notice at premises which may not normally require a permanent security presence. This policy endorses the use of units following such guidance and standards in appropriate circumstances.
4.3.5 The development of codes of practice and general operating standards for security companies is encouraged for local businesses; premises operators are urged to
ensure that security services, when engaged, are provided by suitably qualified
businesses operating to recognised standards and who should be working towards
SIA accreditation.
4.3.6 Enforcement will be achieved by the enforcement policy appended (Appendix B).
6 Prevention of Public Nuisance
The following details and measures are intended to address the need for the prevention of public nuisance which may be associated with licensed premises and certificated club
premises:
6.1.1 In determining applications for new and varied licences, regard will be had to the
location of premises, the type and construction of the building and the likelihood of
nuisance and disturbance to the amenity of nearby residents by reason of noise
from within the premises, as a result of people entering or leaving the premises or
from individuals or groups of customers gathered outside (eg in order to smoke).
6.1.2 Applications for new licences or for the extension in size of licensed premises
should not normally be granted if the premises will use amplified or live music and
operate within or abutting premises containing residential accommodation except
that occupied by staff of the licensed premises. A condition may be imposed on new
licences that entertainment noise shall be inaudible in any residence. Noise
emanating from within licensed premises should not normally be audible outside.
6.1.3 Installation of sound limiting equipment and sound insulation may be required to
minimise disturbance to the amenity of nearby residents by reason of noise from the
licensed premises.
6.1.4 Generally, regulated entertainment in the open air including tents and marquees
should have a maximum closure hour of 2300. Earlier hours may be imposed in
sensitive open spaces or near residential areas. The Licensing Authority will have
regard to Noise Council guidance.
6.1.5 In determining applications for new licences or extensions in hours or terminal
hours of licensed premises, regard will be had to late night public transport
availability and location of taxi ranks to aid dispersal of customers.
6.1.6 Reasonable controls are available to all premises operators to minimise the impact of noise from customers outside. The council’s Environmental Health Department has issued guidance on a number of steps that can be taken in this respect which are endorsed by this policy (see 6.2 below).
6.2.1 Premises licence holders will be expected to:
· Develop a management plan on how to manage smoking on your premises and ensure that all staff are aware of the contents of this plan, and that it is effectively implemented. Noise from people smoking and talking can be intermittent, vary in character and volume and be intrusive. An effective smoking management plan will help prevent neighbours being disturbed.
· Comply with any planning conditions restricting the use of outdoor areas.
· Ensure that any structures used by smokers comply with the design criteria detailed in the Heath Act 2006 and that any structures, awnings, retractable canopies, etc. have the relevant planning permission.
· Ensure any new lighting to outdoor areas must be designed so as not to cause a light nuisance to neighbours and again have the relevant planning permission and building control consent.
· Ensure that the conditions on the premises licence are complied with. There may be conditions restricting the hours of use of gardens and outdoor areas. Having reviewed the contents of the premises licence you may find it necessary to request a variation of your licence.
· Licence tables and chairs on the Public Highway under the provisions of the Highways Act 1980. These licences may have conditions restricting the times that the area can be used.
· Ensure drinks, glasses and bottles are not taken onto the highway unless there is a tables and chairs licence permitting use. A system should be adopted to prevent theft and ‘spiking’ of drinks and reminding customers not to leave unattended items.
· Discourage smokers remaining in gardens and outdoor areas and determine terminal hours.
· Discourage smokers remaining outside by removing/disabling tables and chairs or prohibiting their use after a certain time. Lights and heaters will also be turned off.
· Introduce a system that after a certain time the number of smokers outside are restricted to a maximum number. Staff will be needed to manage this restriction.
· Employ staff and/or SIA registered door supervisors to manage doors and control customers and smokers entering and leaving the premises. Staff positioned on the doors can help to encourage customers not to cause a noise problem. It may be that staff are required to manage doors after a certain time, particularly during the hours when neighbouring residents are trying to sleep.
· Ensure door supervisors maintain order outside venues and protect customer safety. BCRP supports the use of Night Safe. Radio net and other pager systems and pub watch schemes can be used to provide for rapid police response and alert other venues where customers and staff are endangered.
· Position signs to remind customers that the premises is in an area where people live. It is not always obvious in busy commercial streets with flats above. By changing the design and wording of signs customers do not forget. Signs can be located in and outside the premises and on tables.
· Use CCTV to manage outside areas.
6.2.2 Licensed premises should normally display prominent, legible signs at exits reminding customers to leave in a quiet, peaceful, orderly manner.
8 Integration of Strategies
8.1.1 The licensing authority shall secure the proper integration of this policy with local
crime prevention, planning policy, transport, tourism and cultural strategies by:-
• Liaising and consulting with the Sussex Police, Community Safety Forum,
Sustainability Commission representatives and following the guidance in
community safety and crime and disorder strategy
• Liaising and consulting with Public and Alcohol Programme Board
• Liaising and consulting with the East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service
• Liaising and consulting with the Local Strategic Partnership, Safety Advisory
Group (Emergency Planning) and Equalities and Social Justice Consultation
Forum
• Liaising and consulting with the Planning authority
• Liaising and consulting with the Highways authority
• Liaising and consulting with local business and business associations. Having
regard to any future documents issued relating to the Private Security Industry
Act 2001, for example liaison or information sharing protocols
• Liaising and consulting with the Trading Standards Team, for example with
regard to test purchasing codes of practice
8.1.2 In line with statutory requirements and the council’s Inclusion Policy, the Licensing
Authority shall have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, and
to promote equality of opportunity and positive relations between persons of diverse
backgrounds, for example communities of interest such as: lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender people; disabled people; racial and ethnic groups; religious and
faith groups.
8.1.3 This policy supports the aims of the tourism strategy, recognising the benefits for
the tourism economy of creating a safer and more attractive city centre and
improving competitiveness with other European cities. The Licensing Committee
should receive any reports relevant to the needs of the local tourist economy and
the cultural strategy for the area to ensure that it considers these matters.
8.1.4 The Licensing Committee should receive relevant information relating to the
employment situation of the area and the need for new investment and employment
where appropriate.
8.1.5 Specific conditions may be attached to premises licences to reflect local crime
prevention strategies. Such conditions may include the use of closed circuit
television cameras, use of the NightSafe radio system or accredited scheme, the
provision and use of shatterproof drinking receptacles, drugs and weapons search
policy, the use of registered door supervisors, specialised lighting requirements,
hours of opening. Certificates issued to club premises shall reflect local crime
prevention strategies and may include any or all of the requirements listed above.
8.1.6 The licensing authority will have regard to the need to disperse people quickly and
safely from the city centre to avoid concentrations which may produce disorder and
disturbance.
8.3.1 The Enforcement of licensing law and inspection of licensed premises is detailed in the Protocol between Sussex Police, the East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service and
Brighton & Hove City Council. This protocol reflects the need for more efficient
deployment of Police and Local Authority staff commonly engaged in licensing
enforcement and can be found at Appendix D (Lead Agency Status) of the
Statement of Licensing Policy. In addition, the Licensing Authority will have regard to
its published Licensing Enforcement Policy in making enforcement decisions in
accordance with Brighton & Hove City Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy
(Appendix B). In order to better target enforcement resources, inspections will be
undertaken outside of normal office hours and the sharing of information between
all enforcement agencies will be encouraged through joint meetings or similar
arrangements.
8.3.2 Attention is drawn to the targeting of agreed problem and high risk premises
requiring greater attention as identified in the protocol. A number of other council
and government policies, strategies and guidance documents must be taken into
account to complement the policy, including:
• Community Safety & Crime Reduction Strategy
• Drugs and alcohol strategies – local alcohol harm reduction strategy
• Objectives of the Security Industry Authority
• The Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003/ASBPC Act 2014
• The Health Act 2006
• The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006
• Policing and Crime Act 2009
10 Live Music, Dancing & Theatre
10.1.1 This policy recognises the need to encourage live music, dancing and theatre for
the wider cultural benefits of the community generally. In addressing such issues
the potential for limited disturbance in neighbourhoods will always be carefully
balanced with these wider benefits, particularly for children. The impact of licensing
on regulated entertainment, particularly live music and dancing, will be monitored.
Where indications are that such events are being deterred by licensing
requirements, the policy will be revisited with a view to investigating how such
situations might be reversed.
10.1.2 The Licensing Committee represents the general interests of a community in
determining what conditions should be attached to licences and certificates as a
matter of necessity for the promotion of the licensing objectives. All members of the
Licensing Committee will be trained on Licensing Act 2003 and S182 Guidance.
The Licensing authority is aware of the need to avoid measures which deter live
music, dancing and theatre - such as imposing indirect costs out of proportion to the
income of the licence holder and to the risks presented. Only appropriate,
proportionate and reasonable licensing conditions should impose any restrictions on
such events.
10.1.3 The licensing committee will support the cultural zones, outdoor eating areas, food led operations, community pubs, live entertainment and protect living conditions in
mixed use areas.
APPENDIX A – Licensing Best Practice Measures
Best Practice Measures to be included for consideration, in particular in SSA:
Matters that would normally be expected in operating schedules:
· the adoption of a policy (e.g. Challenge 25) with acceptable proof of ID as
per existing Statement of Licensing Policy
· all off sales to be made in sealed containers for consumption away from
the premises
· a smoking policy which includes an assessment of noise and litter created
by premises users
· the use of plastic or polycarbonate drinking vessels and containers,
especially in outside areas or after specified hours
· a policy in relation to searching customers and for drugs, weapons, seized
or lost and found property
· use of a refusals book for registering attempts to buy alcohol by under-age
persons or refusals to those intoxicated
· the installation of a digital CCTV system by liaison with, and to a standard
approved by, Sussex Police
· policies for dispersal of customers which may include signage regarding
taxi services’ telephone numbers and advice to respect neighbours and
minimize noise
Items to which positive consideration would be given:
· membership of Business Crime Reduction Partnership, Pubwatch,
Neighbourhood Watch or similar schemes
· use of ‘Night Safe’ radio system or similar accredited scheme
· regular training and reminders for staff in respect of licensing legislation,
policies and procedures; records of which should be properly recorded and
available for inspection
use
other operators
sports events, birthday parties, adult entertainment, etc.) to relevant
authorities and use of appropriate additional measures at such events
Recommend best practice for both on and off premises
• Staff must be aware of the risk of the problem of proxy sales and offer assistance to responsible authorities to deter offences
• Signage on premises should set out legal duties
• Voluntary restriction of high strength alcohol – operating schedules may be used to limit high ABV beers and ciders
• Staff training – in addition to personal licence holders training, staff must be
adequately trained for duties
• Challenge 25 would be the norm, particularly in the off licence trade
• Signage – proxy sale – deterrence
5. FINANCIAL & OTHER IMPLICATIONS:
Financial Implications:
5.1 The Licensing Act 2003 provides for fees to be payable to the licensing authority in respect of the discharge of their functions. The fee levels are set centrally at a level to allow licensing authorities to fully recover the costs of administration, inspection and enforcement of the regime.
Finance Officer Consulted Michael Bentley Date: 16/04/24
Legal Implications:
5.2 The licensing authority must act to promote the four licensing objectives which are:
· The prevention of crime and disorder
· Public safety
· The prevention of public nuisance
· The protection of children from harm
The licensing authority must have regard to its statement of licensing policy and the guidance issued by the Secretary of State in carrying out its functions.
Lawyer Consulted: Rebecca Sidell Date: 05/04/24
Equalities Implications:
5.3 Diversity is valued and strong, safe communities are vital to future prosperity. Licensing policy aims to protect children from harm including sale and supply of alcohol to children.
Sustainability Implications:
5.4 Licensing policy aims to prevent public nuisance and develop culture of live music, dancing and theatre.
