THE LICENSING ACT 2003 - Planning as a Responsible Authority.
The Licensing Act 2003 was approved by Parliament in July 2003, and the transition to this becoming law began on the 7th February 2005, with full implementation expected by November 2005. Licensing authority officers and planning officers need to discuss how they will jointly address the statutory requirements in the Act. LACORS and the POS are working together to disseminate practical advice, and examples of good practice.
