Update on Performance & Enforcement Matters pdf icon PDF 541 KB

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Senior Licensing Officer, presented by the Environmental Health & Licensing Manager, which set out the range and number of license applications received during the period April to June 2024.

 

In considering the report, Members noted the revision to the presentation of the information and queried as to the reasons for this change.  In response, the Environmental Health & Licensing Manager advised that the information, as presented previously, was subject to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and would no longer be included on the publicly available agenda. 

 

Members queried whether they could continue to receive the information as an exempt appendix to the report, stating that they needed to be aware of what licensing enforcement action was being taken and what applications had been received for Temporary Event Notices.  A Member stated that it was his understanding that the information requested was published and sought clarity on why it was now subject to GDPR.

 

The Environmental Health & Licensing Manager advised that he would refer the Members’ comments to the Business Manager – Public Protection. 

 

AGREED      that:

 

a)            the Update on Performance & Enforcement Matters be noted; and

 

b)            the Environmental Health & Licensing Manager would refer the Members’ comments as noted above to the Business Manager – Public Protection.
