Act widens powers to control licences.

Iliffe, Richard

Act widens powers to control licences. - 2005 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1648) 9 December 2005, 14-15(2) .

Examines the shift in the administration of regulatory functions as a consequence of the Licensing Act 2003 coming into force and provides an overview of the licensing reform legislation. The traditional liquor licensing regime has always coexisted uneasily with the development control provisions of town and country planning legislation. The Act makes express provision for planners to have a role in the liquor licensing process. Looks at the planning authority's limited powers to object to an application for a liquor licence and their increased scope afforded by s51 of the Act for raising objections after a licence has been granted.
