Licensing Act 2003 - Fulham Town Centre - Adoption of a Special Licensing Policy

The Council is under a duty to make revisions to its statement of licensing policy at such times as it considers necessary and appropriate. Following an extensive evidence gathering period the Council considers it may be necessary and appropriate to introduce a special policy in relation to cumulative impact. The effect of adopting such a policy would be to create a rebuttable presumption that applications for new premises licences or club premises certificates or variations that are likely to add to the existing cumulative impact will normally be refused, where a relevant representation has been made, unless the applicant can demonstrate that there will be no negative cumulative impact on one or more of the licensing objectives.
