Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
The Licensing and Gambling Act Committee resolved to:
1. Consider the report and Cumulative Impact Assessment for 2025-2028.
2. Agree not to adopt the proposed Special Saturation Policy 2025-2028 as, based on the cumulative impact assessment before them, the Committee were not of the opinion that the number of licensed premises within the City Centre and East Oxford areas is such that it is likely that granting further licences (or variation to licences) would be inconsistent with the licencing authorities duty to promote the licencing objectives.
3. Recommend to Full Council to not adopt the Cumulative Impact Assessment for 2025-2028 and the continued Special Saturation Policy covering City Centre and East Oxford areas.
