Background Information: The current Statement of Licensing Policy was adopted by the Licensing Committee in October 2017. Within this policy it was determined that the policy would be subject to further review and consultation before October 2022. Cambridge City Council are required to produce a Statement of Licensing Policy under the Licensing Act 2003 and the policy must be updated every 5 years. On 6th April 2018, The Policing and Crime Act 2017 amended the Licensing Policy to place Cumulative Impact Assessments on a statutory footing. Cambridge City Council is making the Cumulative Impact Assessment a stand-alone document, separate from the Statement of Licensing Policy. We have taken the opportunity to review the Statement of Licensing Policy.
