  South Ayrshire Licensing Board issued its first Statement of Licensing Policy in advance of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 coming into force. This was intended to cover the transition period between the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 and the implementation of the new Act which came fully into force on 1 September 2009. The Board subsequently updated its policy, specifically on overprovision, on 28 August 2009.

  The Board is now obliged to review its policy and is committed to consulting widely on it.

  The Board has identified certain issues which appear to be the principle issues requiring to be addressed as part of this review, and these are set out below with the Board’s preliminary proposals. However the Board wishes to take account of the views of all interested parties and therefore now seeks representations on the issues set out in this Consultation document. Responses are required by no later than 15 September 2010 in order that they may be considered when reviewing the policy.
