Summary
This report will bring forward a proposed Licensing Policy for Placing Objects, such as shop front displays and tables and chairs, on the highways. Cabinet will be asked to consider and approve a draft policy for public consultation.
It is noted that the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements)(Meetings and Access to Information)(England) Regulations 2012 requires 28 clear days’ notice of the intention to make a key decision. On this occasion it has not been possible to provide this 28 clear days’ notice and therefore Section 10 (General Exception) of the above regulations have been complied with. It was not possible to include this report on the Forward Plan with 28 days’ notice as discussions on the submission of this item had not been concluded by that point (28 September 2015).
