The Licensing Committee meets
regularly to consider licensing issues from increasing tariffs for
local taxis, to alcohol and entertainment licences which have
received objections.
A hearing will only take place
if there are objections to an application: the law requires the
council to approve un-opposed applications. Objections may come
from a variety of sources, including Hampshire Constabulary,
Hampshire Fire and Rescue, noise pollution officers, health and
safety officers and local residents.
