Review of the Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Principles

Decision Maker: Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This report sets out the Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Policy (Gambling Policy) that details the Council’s approach to the provision of Gambling in the Borough. The Policy is reviewed every three years and this review has taken account of changes to legislation, regulations and guidance.  The revised Policy is attached as Appendix A and is being presented to the Executive for recommendation to Council for adoption.

The local areas profile has been reviewed and expanded upon.  Local Risk Assessments are now required to be kept on gambling premises.  The Policy sets out the standards and criteria for applications received according to the Gambling and how those applications will be determined and the licensing objectives promoted.

RESOLVED that, having considered the revised Gambling Policy as detailed in Appendix A to the report, the Executive recommends it to Council for adoption.
