Scotland - Licensing Policy review and over-provision

A reminder for those operators with interests north of the border.

All Licensing Boards are required by law to put in place a newly revised policy statement including an updated assessment of overprovision by 4 November 2018.

The new policy will cover the period until 2022.

Many Boards are now issuing consultation documents to assist in the preparation of the policy statements, something to be aware of particularly in the case of possible changes to over-provision.
