What the Statement of Licensing Policy (Alcohol Licensing) is

Our  Statement of Licensing Policy (Alcohol Licensing) [1005KB]  sets out what we need to consider when processing liquor (alcohol) licence applications in Renfrewshire.

This includes:

• licensing hours
• children and young persons access to licensed premises
• occasional licences
• extended hours
• areas in Renfrewshire that may have too many licences issued for the sale of alcohol (or for certain types of alcohol sales: for example, pub-type premises, off sales, etc).

Renfrewshire Licensing Board agreed the  revised  Statement of Licensing Policy 2023-2027 at a meeting of the Licensing Board held on 23 October 2023 and will come into effect on 4 November 2023. 

The existing Statement of Licensing Policy 2018-2022 is available to view in the related content area until the 4 November, 2023 

Previous consultation on the policy

We carried out initial information consultation [5MB]  to the Statement of Licensing Policy from December 2022 to February 2023.

A formal consultation on the Policy was carried out between May 2023 to July 2023.  Formal responses [3MB]  were received and can be found here.
