Licensing Policy

Our licensing policy sets out how we normally apply our functions under the Licensing Act 2003, particularly when making decisions on relevant applications in respect of premises licences, club premises certificates and temporary event notices. The licensing policy incorporates a special policy on cumulative impact, which covers Wimbledon Town Centre and Mitcham Town Centre.

We always refer to our statement of licensing policy when carrying out our functions under the Licensing Act and expect applicants to consider its contents when making applications.
