Statement of Licensing Policy

Thanet District Council

Cumulative Impact of a Concentration of Licensed Premises

1.16  "Cumulative impact" is not mentioned specifically in the 2003 Act but means the potential impact on the promotion of the licensing objectives of a significant number of licensed premises concentrated in one area.  The cumulative impact of licensed premises on the promotion of the licensing objectives is a proper matter for the Licensing Authority to consider in developing its licensing policy statement.

1.17  This Licensing Authority will have regard to paragraphs 13.24 to 13.39 of the Guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 when determining ‘cumulative impact’.
