We have established licensing policies for some of the licensing regimes it is responsible for.
Some of these policies have been made as a statutory requirement of the relevant legislation governing that particular licensing regime. From time to time, we review the policies below. In some circumstances, we consult the public and other stakeholders on any revisions.
The policies are in place to guide us when we go through licence applications. These policies can also help applicants when considering applying for a licence.
Licensing Act 2003 and Gambling Act 2005
Review of the Licensing Policies 3 June 2024 to 12 July 2024
During June and July 2024, Hull City Council consulted on these 2 separate policies and undertook a review of the Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA) for the location bordered on and between Spring Bank, Princes Avenue, Newland Avenue, Cottingham Road and Beverley Road.
During the consultation, the Licensing Authority had sought the views from the responsible authorities, local people, businesses, and other organisations that may be affected by the policy review and encouraged all interested parties to provide feedback in relation to the content and format of the whole policy, the CIA was determined to be retained as well as both policies, all subsequently being approved for publishing from January 2025, at the Full Council meeting on 21 November 2024.
