The document showed the volume
of work the Team undertaken, which included a large number of
Temporary Event Notices that needed to be processed and ensuring
annual fees were paid. Inspections that
officers had recently been done showed that several premises were
not {complaint} [compliant] – amended by Committee of the Licesning Authority
on 14/07/16
with their licences, however, none of the breaches were significant and officers worked with premises licence holders and designated premises supervisors to ensure compliance. To help with the volume of inspections that were needed, an officer from the Environmental Health Team had been trained to assist, further ways of increasing inspections were being investigated.
The Committee noted that the Licensing Team achieved a large volume of work during Quarter 4, especially as it was a small Team within the Authority.
Members requested that future reports include; details of the number of licenced premises within South Holland, and what complaints had been received regarding licenced premises.
