Licensing Policy
This Licensing Policy sets out the policies that we will generally apply to promote the licensing objectives when making decisions on applications made under the Licensing Act 2003.
Croydon town centre is a well-defined retail and commercial area with a large number of shops and offices. It also has the major concentration of premises providing regulated late night entertainment and the sale of alcohol, including theatres, cinemas, concert halls, night clubs, public houses, restaurants and night cafes.
The remainder of the 1000 or so licensed premises are spread throughout the Borough, with much smaller concentrations in the district centres and many individual public houses located within residential areas. In addition the number, diversity and success of open air concerts and other cultural events is increasing each year.
Premises and events that will require to be licensed under the Licensing Act 2003 do currently and will continue to make an essential contribution to the economic and cultural development of the Borough, through the provision of entertainment, leisure facilities and employment.
