Exclusion of the Press and Public It is recommended that in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005, the press and public be excluded from the remainder of the meeting.
The licensing authority may exclude the public from all or part of a hearing where it considers that the public interest in so doing outweighs the public interest in the hearing, or that part of the hearing, taking place in public. Minutes: It was moved by Councillor D G Cronk, duly seconded and
RESOLVED: That, having applied the public interest test in accordance with Regulation 14 of The Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005, the press and public be excluded from the remainder of the meeting and that a decision will be published on the basis that it does not place sensitive data and/or information in the public domain. |

The procedures for meetings (hearings) of the Licensing Sub-Committee are as set out in the Licensing Act 2003 (Hearings) Regulations 2005 and these regulations do not require the full agenda papers to be published and made available on the website or copies provided at the meetings outside of the parties to the meeting itself. The Licensing Sub-Committee meetings are open to the public, unless in exceptional circumstances the Authority considers it in the public interest to exclude the press and public for all or part of a hearing.

(iii) Article 6 of the Human Rights Act (Right to a fair trial)
(iv) Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Duty to consider crime and disorder implications)
