Policing & Crime Act 2017 - Licensing Provisions to come into force

Following conversations with the Home Office we can confirm that with the exception of the provisions on cumulative impact and the late night levy (LNL) the provisions in part 7 of the Act will commence on 6 April 2017. Matters coming into force include clarification concerning expedited Reviews and the status of interim measures and the ability for a Licensing Authority to suspend or revoke personal licences (following convictions for relevant offences).

We understand that those aspects relating to cumulative impact policies and LNL will not be implemented until the House of Lords Committee on Licensing reports in March and the Government has considered the content of that report.

We shall keep you updated.
