What is the Statement of Principles?

Each Licensing Authority has produced a Statement of Principles that will set out how the authority intends to exercise its functions under the Act and the principles it intends to apply.  The Gambling Commission guidance will contain some information about what to include in the policy but its final content will be the responsibility of the individual Authority. The policy will last three years but should be reviewed from time to time.

The Gambling Act 2005 requires the Council to prepare and publish a Statement of Gambling Policy that sets out the policies that the Council will generally apply to promote the Licensing Objectives when making decisions on applications made under the Act.

The Statement of Principles must be reviewed every 3 years.
